This, like all your shots you’ve shown with the GFX, is gorgeous.

How do you find the 80mm? ~64mm-equivalent on a 35mm camera strikes me as an odd and in-between focal length. I was never that happy with a 50mm on an APS-H camera, for comparison. @Yokosuka Mike also has the Sigma 65mm, maybe that is similar in terms of view? I find this sort of thing interesting.

Thanks for the kind words.

I picked up the 80 on sale and I agree it is a strange focal length. I really got it for the fast aperture and to explore the infamous 'look' of MF and the bokeh. To be honest I would have preferred the 120mm but that is considerably more expensive and a new 80 came along at a price less than they usually go for used so I bought it. I had already been considering the Mitakon 65mm but I would rather have an AF lens. Plus I was wary of the supposed QC issues with the Mitakon.

I am really enjoying using the 80mm however and not regretting it at all. My only issue now is whether it will make the 63mm kind of redundant as they are pretty close in focal length. I do love the 63 though and a 50mm FF equivalent is my favourite focal length. The 63 is also smaller and lighter.
