ANNOUNCEMENT

NEW GEAR! We are thrilled to announce the latest project from @old_fast_glass and @ofgcustoms – The OFG Customs 65.

With the release of the @fujifilmx_us GFX100 II, we knew we wanted to develop a camera system that would harness the full potential of this camera. It has one of the largest available sensors for cinematography approaching the size of the Alexa 65.

We modified the camera, and designed a new housing that completely integrates the camera, RAW Recorder, video/power distro, cooling system, cage, handle/EVF, and baseplate systems, ready for the demands of professional sets. We wanted to remove the mess of cables, rods, adapters, and messy builds that come with using compact mirrorless cameras. In short, we wanted you to pull the camera out of the case, attached a battery and lens, and youโ€™re ready to shoot.

Why make a GFX100 II bigger? Itโ€™s already a capable, compact camera ready to shoot professional video. But we wanted the full size, โ€œstudioโ€ version of the camera with more functionality. Now you can go into the field with an OFG Customs 65 as A-Cam, and take a couple standard GFX100 II as your B and C-Cams, and they will all give you the same gorgeous images, but in different form factors for different needs. The 65 is on sticks, dolly, crane, or handheld, while the stripped down GFX100 II can be on a gimbal, car mount, or even crash cam. And they will all be giving post production the same look, and the same codec, making both set and post production easier.

If you are curious to get first looks at the camera, we will be at NAB Sunday and Monday, Central Hall near the Fujililm exhibit. We hope to see you there! The camera is available now for rentals!

Footage coming soon!

CineD is at the NAB show and has the GFX100II cinema camera covered on YouTube (see below)

Old Fast Glass says in the interview they would not have made the effort to make such a camera if it had only a full frame sensor. But when the GFX100II came out the specs where amazing and the sensor is much larger than full frame, so they decided they want to make it. They also love Fujifilm color science.

Old Fast Glass also said that Fujifilm was very excited about this project. It’s a win-win for both, as it validates their GFX camera for cinema use.

You can check out the full interview below as well as see the camera covered on the CineD website.

Fujifilm GFX100II New Dynamic Range King of Mirrorless Cameras

Share

Photons to Photos has published its dynamic range results for the Fujifilm GFX100II.

As to expect, the GFX100II now takes the lead as the mirrorless camera that will give you the highest dynamic range with a slight boost over the Fujifilm GFX100S due to an optimized sensor design, as we explained here.

So, if you want to have a bit more margins in terms of dynamic range, the Fujifilm GFX100II is the way to go. And all this by delivering substantially more megapixel over its high resolution full frame competitors.

There are only 3 digital cameras that are better than the GFX100II listed on Photons to Photos:

  • Phase One IQ4
  • Phase One IQ3
  • Hasselblad H6D-100c

But the above are not mirrorless cameras. And they are huge, heavy and cost more than my car.

You can access the comparison we made above at this link (and also make your own one).
