uganda Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 After the recent announcement about Fuji's medium format mirrorless camera, I am wondering what opinions exist... By virtue of sensor size, I expect that image quality will be "better" than most current FF cameras - and I hope the GFX 50s will prove beneficial/useful for pro-level travel, street/reportage and fine art photography. However, with the A7rii currently available (I already own 35mm and Hasselblad V system lenses) - I'm wondering if the wait, unknown cost and inevitable difference in size and weight will be beneficial...

Robert M Estall Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I've read the review of the prototype revealed at photokina. Looks pretty big and with a price tag suggested $10,000 area. It reminds me of the time I splashed out on a 67 Pentax thinking it would be like a bit bigger 35mm. Well it certainly wasn't that, but I did get a lot of good shots with it. And a lot of not-so-good stuff for the bin. Clients loved the nice big trannies, my shoulders weren't so keen. Given the quality of the sensors in the full-frame current 35mms I don't really see much point in this and the few other medium format options. Looking at it with the grip added, it's a whopper! The Hasselblad mirrorless is very trim in comparison. Neither option will offer a really wide lens which is always a problem with a new system But then, I don't see why anyone in their right mind would plump for something like an Aston Martin. Clearly I stand no chance as the next Bond. I think I've left it a bit late anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
