XF 50mmF2 Lenstip Review: “Excellent Lens, Applause to Fuji” :: Palle Schultz GFX eXperience: “It will Help You to Do the Best You Can Be”

Fujifilm GFX

– The Fujifilm GFX is like your old SLR + example shots at Palle Schultz Youtube: “When you see the files that come out of it, there is really nothing to complain about. There is only one thing you can complaint about while using the GFX, and that is the photographer, because the GFX will show if the photographer is not good, but the GFX will help you to do the best that you can be. […] the files are so big, that you don’t want to fill up your hard disk too fast. So I slowed down, and I asked my models to slow down, and take fewer pictures, but better. With the GFX you concentrate more, and take that one picture that you want“. Check out also the AWESOME images at the end of the video (music in the background played by Palle Schultz himself)

– Potraits on FUJI GFX 50S, 120mm F4 Macro and 63mm F2.8 by Baljit Singh Deo at baldeo. Another set of stunning images.

Both, Palle Schultz and Baljit Singh Deo are members of our 10,200+ members strong Fujifilm GFX facebook group, share their work with the GFX 50s there and are always open to discuss it with the members. I really love to see how this group is growing together and how much enthusiasm there is for the GFX… and for photography in general.

We also offer a GFX tailored news/rumors stream at our Fujifilm GFX facebook page. You won’t miss a single GFX tidbit by following it.

Fujinon XF 50mm F2 WR

Lenstip just shared their Fujinon XF50mmF2 WR review, and it’s an extremely positive one.

Pros:

  • handy but solid and weather-sealed casing,
  • brilliant image quality in the frame centre,
  • good image quality on the edge of the frame,
  • negligible spherical aberration,
  • low lateral chromatic aberration,
  • sensible coma correction,
  • negligible astigmatism,
  • sensible performance against bright light,
  • silent, sensibly quick and accurate autofocus on the X-T2 body.

Cons:

  • some problems with the longitudinal chromatic aberration,
  • visible vignetting on RAW files.

Conclusion: “An excellent lens – those words would be enough. Still, to make our summary more eloquent we have to add that for a very decent price you get a lens sensationally sharp in the frame centre, small, lightweight, weather-sealed and produced in Japan. It didn’t avoid some flaws but they aren’t very important and don’t change our assessment in any way. A round of applause, Fuji!”

My Final Answer to the DPReview GFX Article (Using DPR’s Own Studio Test)… Then Back to What the GFX does Best: Taking Pictures!

I promise this will be the last time FujiRumors will talk about the DPReview article. But I just wanted to show you two things:

ISO INVARIANCE TEST

I don’t know you, but when I use DPReviews own studio comparison tool, and make a 6 stop push starting from ISO 100, I can see a clear difference (see screenshot above). Look at the purple thread, which basically loses completely its texture in the Canon 5DSr and looks not good on the A7RII, too. The D810 is better than the other FF cameras, but the GFX 50s is still visibly better than the D810.

NOTE: I’m not saying the other cameras perform bad, not at all. I just say the GFX performs better.

I don’t know why DPReview did not mention the ISO invariance test results in their article, where they criticized the GFX. It’s a very important test, for example for landscape photographers, who want to be able to recover shadows with as little noise and retaining as much details as possible.

The GFX combines everything into one camera: lots of details, great dynamic range and awesome noise performance.

Is it worth the extra money over a high-end APS-C or FF camera? I don’t know, and luckily it’s a question I don’t have to think about it too much, since the GFX does not get along well with my bank account anyway.

With that said, I’m still firmely convinced that our beloved APS-C X-series cameras can do 90% of what the GFX does.

But yes, if you want the ultimate image quality and ultimate freedom to push your files to the limit, then the GFX is the upgrade you are looking for, since it does these 10% extra you are looking for better than any APS-C or Full Frame camera out there (as demonstrated also by DPR’s own studio tests).

That’s all folks :)

Paul Andrew Dunker‎: I finally got out to play with my new Fuji X-T2. There was some seriously cool fog in the city today, offering a chance to get some really peaceful black and white shots. I have been extremely impressed with Fujifilm cameras since the X100S. The X-T2 is a game changer, though. Even coming from a Nikon D800e, equipped with all of the best lenses available, I don’t feel like I’m giving anything up shooting on the Fuji. The amount of detail and dynamic range available are nothing short of miraculous for a camera this size. Bravo, Fujifilm.

Fujifilm 2017: Massive Rumors Coming
… and how you won’t miss them (New Options!)

I hear whispers… secrets, too fragile to be unveiled at this stage. But whisper can become rumors, and rumors can become facts… and when the moment comes, I will take you with me into the deepest secrets of the Fujifilm rabbit hole. I hope somebody out there will follow me in this journey… and if you do, well, then we are going to have fun! :-)

All I can anticipate now, is that the Fuji year 2016 was great for sure… but you will also love to see what hits the market in 2017 ♥. Fujifilm X100F, GFX and X-T20 as well as new lenses… and, who knows… maybe some surprises. And I’m sure of one thing: even the last folks out there, who ignored Fujifilm so far, will hear the name of the cameras we’ve learned to love so much :-)

So it will be very busy in the next few months over here… and as usual, it’s easy to miss the news, when I will share multiple posts a day. But with a few simple steps, you can make sure not to miss anything. So feel free to…

What Kind of Photographer Are you… and Which X-Gear do you Own & Use? – MULTIPLE POLLS

hhu

FR-reader Funkmonkey was curious to see “where the Fuji rumors crowd sits” and asked here for a survey.

Well…. I thought it’s a nice idea to see what kind of photographer you are and which photography you do most, so I’ve worked on the surveys you can see below. And in addition to Funkmonkey’s suggestions, I’ve also added 4 more polls; 2 about which X-series camera/lens do you own, and other 2 about which camera/lens you actually use most.

What kind of photographer are you?
