I agree with what you are saying when it comes to the workflow feeling inhibited. I am a full time commercial photographer and the Pentax 645z is one of my main cameras. It took a while to get used to the much slower speed but after shooting it over and over again you start to change your shooting speed to adapt and the payoff is fantastic. Images that don’t look like every canon shooter and dynamic range that it out of this world. With maybe 6 months on this camera you would have loved it as much as you want to! The first few months with the Pentax felt like I had my foot on the brake and gas at the same time if you know what I mean. It just takes time!

Thanks for the video. Pure class. I would love to see a video on your watches, it looks like you've got a really cool collection.

Love the shots you got with this camera

Thanks for the video! I really enjoyed how you’re talking about your experiences with the camera. It’s rare to find reviews by people who know what they’re talking about 😃I am on the edge of getting a GFX 50 s II but my style of shooting is kind of slow lately and I wouldn’t get one if I didn’t have a camera for run&gun situations.

Really great video and insights ! I’m currently deciding between the 50S II and a7R IV. I’d really like to get into medium format and my personal workflow is pretty slow so I don’t think the autofocus on the 50S II would be too much of a hinderance for me so I might have to go for it.

Lovely shots. I bought this last week and the resolution is killer when zooming in.

Btw. What watch are you wearing?

[catbread]

Do you think the GFX 100 II in terms of autofocus, would be viable to shoot the kind of work you do? I know it's not going to be like a Canon/Sony, but I've been doing weddings and events with a Fuji X-T3, tbh the autofocus is enough for me to work with it, I imagine the new GFX even being a medium format, has a much better autofocus now than the GFX 50S, also there might be a new GFX this year, less expensive but probably with the same level of AF from the gfx 100 ii

Yup, shooting with GFX feels like shooting with my old original 5D :-) I do feel that the slowing down is in a good way though. GFX100S is allegedly way better with the AF since if has phase detect based autofocus.

So its only for photo? Thanks for the info, but Fuji seems to disagree because there is this movie / still twist knob. Would be fair if companies started being more honest for what their cameras can be used.

I came here to see if there was a cheaper alternative for the gfx 100ii, and then you started saying, "This is not a video camera." Seems like a sick photo camera, though! 😂

What’s the point of this review without any examples of actual images from the camera lol
