Fuji GFX 100S - My Review After 8 Months

Gear That We Use

Interesting. Very mellow take and vibe. I’m probably a lot older than your grandfather, and have been shooting medium format since the 1960s. ( Rollei, Pentax, Arca Swiss 69 ) the 50S gfx was the first digital camera that made me enjoy a camera as much as the Pentax 67. I just got the 100S. For what it is, it is TINY!!

I shoot mostly architecture with Pentax 645 in tilt shift adapters. For landscape I use Laowa 15shift, gF 23, 32-64 and canon 100-400 mark II. my impression is that the 100-400 is superior to the Fuji 100-200. But I only just started using it. It focuses to less then 36 inches so is useful for details and quasi macro work.

Really enjoy your work. Best of luck for coming year!

I found out that the 32-64 and the 110 is perfect! Tried to choose between the 80mm f1, 7 and the 110mm f2 which I had for a while, but ended up selling the 80 as I prefered the range on the 110, when also having the zoom available. Both lenses are really incredible. The gfx100s is fantastic in so many ways.

Hopefully I can pick up one of these on the used market in the future when the prices are a bit more attainable. I’m sure the image quality will still hold up in 2030 😄

Both my wife and I use the GFX100s, the 250mm F4 is a must have portrait lens, unreal.

Medium Format is just something else. Amazing video and photos as always Sam!

Do you enjoy using the R5 or just see it as a tool that gets the job done?

[tobymitchell]

The quality and tones look unbelievable

Hi Samuel. Great vid. Thanks for sharing. I’ve enjoyed following you. A question if I may…. Wondering if you are still using your Canon R5 alongside the GFX 100S? Any thoughts on using/living with both systems would be appreciated. Perhaps this could be a video? Thanks.

Great video about the experience with the camera. Totally agree. I use it mostly for landscape and found the 30-45-100 and 100-200 to be a very useful and comprehensive kit. I do get your feelings about the 80 and the 110.

So do you think this camera is twice as good as the Sony 7Riv? Just the choice of lenses is enough to drop down from 100MP to 61MP.

I have an R5 and all is good. Just wanted a better image quality output and colors. How does this compare? Since I saw you have both, the best question is how often you use R5 or the GFX100s. Don't care about video.

[burritobrosvideos]

Do you have any videos on how to edit photos?

[Fernyg]

Love the Fuji content. You should have a meet up for photographers! Cheers.

The video is amazing. I saw a movie made with it and there was just something special about it. I wasn’t expecting the 4k to be so amazing. Do a video where you just shoot with it in Video.

Hey Samuel did you get a chance to try the 50sii? What did you think of it ? Ty

[Elazarko]

Dude I can't wait to own a medium format camera one day. Your photos are inspiring!

[YOUAREMYKIN]

Nice photographs as always. I love the Fuji shooting experience. It’s so inspiring to see a beautifully image result as one shoots (vs others that will look good in post). Looking forward to seeing your next videos.
