Really diggin' the grain in your digital photos man! Would be cool to see a video on how you add it. Is it added through photoshop?

The main reason for me use the the gfx system is I like the GF 110mm better than the RF 85mm 1.2. The glass isn't comparable in my opinion. It's not about the bokeh, the gf 110mm at f8 to f11 is gold. Also, I know many prefer the look of the gfx 50 sensor over the 100 sensor but I disagree. The tonal gradients on skintones is a really nice bang for the buck. Hard to do better than gfx without getting into more expensive systems. Strictly speaking image quality. Obviously full frame cameras have a lot speed and performance advantages.

Such a dope video bro! Gonna try and get my hands on that gfx soon 😈

Thank god you hand loaded the film on camera, I was starting to get the jitters 😂😂😂 good stuff as always 👍😎

dude that shot on the bridge! so good

Always an insightful video on your channel. 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️

Another awesome video. Thanks for that really honest review.

love these videos. Colours alone in your videos are awesome

Solid as usual Cam! I sometimes pair my GFX100 with the R5 and you definitely have to throttle down but it's still incredible to use and much faster than my old Phase.

@@cammackey Yeah I pretty much use the GFX only when I need the extra resolution for clients like arena banners for a NBA team. I actually have a BTS video on my channel showing my workflow switching between it and the R5 on court with some NBA players. It can get a little stressful! Haha

Excellent insight. And there are many of us who might easily jump the fence into the world of full-frame photography. That is for sure. Medium format digital, however, is a very different animal, a wild beast. For me, your video offers context. Thank you.

Great directing. Fast paced, model understands the asks, and also fun.

Love my GFX50sii, yeah it’s sluggish compared to my Sony kit, but, it feels so goooood! I just love shooting with it. Just picked up the xh2, might sell up the Sony kit for Fuji glass now 🤷‍♂️

3 minutes into this video, it is obvious that you DO THIS! A lot of camera youtubers are youtubers that get a few shoots here and there and it shows. You aren't talking specs or numbers, but straight application.

Which should I choose between GFX50SII and A7RV? I usually shoot people, group activities, and landscapes.

Hey, Been watching since the XT3 capture one days. Could you maybe do a video on your progression through the past couple years in client work. What made you move to LA and your growth. Thanks

Great video and balanced comparison. Thanks so much for your time and effort.

now im shooting the r5 w 28-70 f2 // and thinking about either the q3 or the 50s2 with old pentax lenses...

The video I was waiting for! How fast does the GFX 50s ii AF feel compared to the Mamiya AFD (AFD2 presently being my main allround Camera)?

@cammackey

2 жыл бұрын

I mean the 50SII is still leagues ahead oh the AFD since it can do some light tracking. But I mean overall it FEELs similar

allo! have you thought about trying the pentax 645z? get it used under $3k and the files are BEAUTIFUL !!!

Oh damn. Noti gang. Sup Cam?!

The preference for the looks is personal but i pay attention to how the camera handles black. The canon crushes the black into a sorry mush. But some photographers dont like photos with high dynamic range

So far, the GFX 50s ii files are making me forget whatever hesitation I had jumping to MF...

Why do you use Mamiya 645 film camera ? it is the worst i have ever used. Try fujifilm gx 680

Would you consider using the new 40MP XH2 when it come in may?

The MF look is shallow DoF but also the unique perspective you get when you combine the compression of say, an 80mm short tele with the angle of view of a 50mm normal lens at a closer distance (“the physics of it”, like you said). I’ve been on the verge of buying a Fuji 50S or Hassy 907 but I’m not convinced the increase in sensor size from 35mm to 44X33 is enough to give a true MF look. I’m thinking that if you shoot a 58/1.2 on your R5, you’re gonna get awfully close in MF look to a 50S w/ its standard 63mm/2.8 lens and have shallower DoF even. Be cool to try... Love your content.

Yes this is what i've also been thinking, but after doing my "research" it's not just the dof, you also need to factor in the "area in focus" having f1.2 in ff the area in focus is so shallow you kinda lost details in your subject. Personally i don't like that f1.4 is my limit for me. If tou want the medium format look in ff 85mm f1.4 and stiching multiple images is one way to go.

wah auto focus, does no one manuel focus anymore?

Cam have you tried the R6? I'm trying to figure out if I should upgrade to the R5. I don't mind the 20 mpx files I'm just more interested in if the colors and dynamic range of the R6 compare to the R5 or not.

@@NickDelDuca I find the R6 does some weird stuff with skin in really bad light, an issue I didn't have with the 5D Mark III/IV. It like looses the skin color somehow if the light is very flat/blue which I do like to shoot when its overcast but now I can't shoot if its that dull overcast light. Something weird there,, but 100% fine in other lighting conditions. Maybe a white balance thing also but never an issue I previously had. I shoot raw anyway. I have not tried the R5.

Have you or anyone else had issues with Canon R5 files not recording all in 4k? I have my r5 set up with custom modes the main one being 4k 30 fps, 1/60, 400 iso CLOG. I primarily shoot that way for vlogs, but sometimes it randomly decided to produce files that are basically 1080p and not in CLOG ? And I'm not sure why it does that cause it would really just be a random file out of a set of files shot.

Why compare full frame to a medium format monster? 8x10 beats both btw

Absolutely agree, for me the AF on the Fuji compared to the 100 is the main point not to get it. As much as all the rest is fine, but models are not just standing still you want them to move....

Still faster than booting up my red! No biggie for me

Fujifilm's GFX series camera models (and especially the 50 series ones) have EVF of a tragic quality compared to the EVF of Canon R series cameras, where you can see considerable shimmering and moiré patterns on all surfaces when looking through it. Most of the photos will be free from these unwanted effects, but before you take them, you may already be wondering if I really did the right thing by buying this camera. Currently, I use the Canon EOS R on a daily basis. At the end of last year, I bought a Fujifilm GFX 50SII camera with a Fujinon GF 35-70mm f/4.5-5.6 WR lens. It was supposed to be my last photographic purchase, the crowning achievement of my photographic equipment journey. I had it at my place for a few hours, and after those few hours the camera was packed back in order to send it to the seller to give me the money back. The EVF in this camera is a mistake compared to the Canon EOS R, not to mention the Canon EOS R5.

Ich hoffe das durchgehende Bildrauschen ist sein Stil.

comparing a full-frame to medium formate is like apples and oranges they are fruit but completely different things!

I have to admit though, your R5 has TONS of noise on your shirt in this video

Fujifilm Raw 100%

You need the GFX100s for your purposes and faster AF. Yeah, it will still be a bigger rig and slower than any mirrorless FF (including your R5). B U T, the files you get out of it are absolutely amazing, you get an unmatched editing flexibility and the focusing is dramatically improved over the 50sII that has sensor that is now 8 years old and makes ZERO SENSE for Fuji to keep cycling it onto “new” cameras. Forget about the 50sII that gives you the same problems and workflow as the original 50s and 50R.. it’s all old news. Do the same comparison testing with the 100s that will realistically rival the quality of your MF film cameras and with a much better capture and post-processing workflow. Keep up the awesome work❤️❤️❤️
