@Yokosuka Mike how does the 50R stack up now that you have the 100 S ii? You’re obviously still using the 50R.

Hello Marty,

I took the GFX50R to the beach instead of the GFX100SII because it was a cold windy day and I knew there’d be a lot of sand and salt-spray in the air. I’m still in the mode of babying my GFX100SII.

The GFX50R is like a comfortable old friend that’s easy to get along with. However, the GFX100SII is a superior camera; especially in the AF-C focusing mode.

All the best,
Mike

Unreal quality for a kit lens.
The general look is that of my 4x5 tri-x images. They have a lovely feel to them.
Quite the opposite to most digital black and white. Which I would guess is more your processing than the camera.
Really nice.

Thanks for your comment. The detail in the files is amazing and all the GFX lenses I have are stellar. I should probably try comparing the SOOC jpegs with my own processing, but I much prefer processing the raw files myself and I have always done conversions this way.

My guess is that the midtones will be a lot darker for the SOOC jpgs. I am not sure why but almost all camera manufacturers seem to think that this is what monochrome images should look like. It is probably easier and less technically challenging to implement that approach.

This one is tremendous. Have you ever tried a graduated nd filter on the GFX? Some digital cameras react curiously to them.

Thank you Marty, thank you very much! I have lots of ND filters but I don't have a graduated ND filter.

Almost every time I go to the seacoast I take a tripod and a 10 stop ND with me. I never thought about a graduated ND, but I'm thinking about one now... thanks for the food for thought.

Mike
