For those interested in pre-ordering: GFX50SII: moment.8ocm68.net/BX2QWJ GFX Kit: moment.8ocm68.net/0JdoMY GF 35-70mm: moment.8ocm68.net/n12zOM I'll add that the last 3 photos @10:50 are mislabeled as the 35-70mm when they were taken with the Mitakon 65/1.4

Hi Benji, thank you for your review That Mitakon 64/1.4 deserves a review!

Such a great collection of shots. Great work Benj!

Thanks dude! Way to hustle on all of your videos today too! haha. I was up until 2:30am trying to get this one done

Hi Benj, this is by far the best KZread video review of the Fuji GFX 50sii to jump into medium format for the price. To me from jumping from full frame to 44X33 medium format and for what I do mostly fine art indoor portrait, studio using a canvas backdrop is perfect. For lens the GF 45-100mm f/4 zoom would be a nice start

Only review I need to watch!

Dang these sample photos are killer, Benj. Also can we talk about your black shirt 👏🏻

Ha! I almost bought that hat yesterday...Also that 50SII is pretty dope!

Oh snap Benj congrats on getting a review unit

Nice Vid Benj

Amazing just got the X100V but this looks incredible and love the pictures colour science is incredible

Wow First review! 50s m2

YES!!

So nice.

Is a chance for firmware upgrade for phase detection?

Thanks for the Review Benj! Is there some kind of Focus Peaking in the viewfinder when you are Manual focusing?

You have the option, yes

Really want one of the Fuji 50 series cameras .used ones are starting to get in my price range. Just can’t afford the the computer upgrade I would need to deal with the files 😂

Benj - do you see any value in having a camera like this for personal / street / travel stuff, or does it mostly shine for client work (wedding, fashion, product, etc) that requires high resolution?

@benjhaisch

It totally depends on your preferences. I’d totally use this for personal/travel.

Fuji Power!!

I would love to know how the autofocus compares to Fuji’s newer crop sensor cameras like the X-E4. Also how big are the raw files? Would they increase the editing time for a wedding? Thanks for the video!

@benjhaisch

The hardest part for me would be getting equivalent lenses to compare. The raw files are mellow. 40-50mb. Editing with smart previews makes things fly no matter how large the files anyway :)

Benj, I think this one is actually a good choice for you, the sensor is larger than leica

Very nice! Just got an X1Dii and love love love the color. But man... that AF. Having both, do you feel like you get the color you want from both the Hassy and Fuji, being the same sensor, or do you feel like you have to really work one over the other to get to a good result. I do use Phocus for the Hasselblad. If so, having better AF and IS seems really tempting.

I haven’t used Phocus so it’s hard to know. I like the ergonomics and feel of the Hasselblad better, but the colors have been fine for me so far with Fujifilm, no issues.

Great review, just keep staying true to your Leica fans! :-)

@@benjhaisch well, it will be interesting to see what you think after some time. I just sold my 100s and 50r. Great image quality no doubt but the bulky ness of that system got to me after a while. And the zooms only being f4 or 5.6 minimum was annoying. Still a great system but like everything has things to navigate.

When I was in the camera store back in the 70s while in college a woman photographer. Who work for one of the major newspapers in St. Louis Missouri came in Caring two Nikon F1 one on each shoulder. Not once did I hear her complain about the weight of her camera on that it was not fast enough for her to see sports with.

Hey dude thx for review. But I have a question, the pic of a couple walking in the forest, in which the depth of field looks really good but you mentioned this pic is taken by 35-70mm, is it true? Cuz it’s like being taken by 110mm or other tele lens…thank u

Hi Benj, thank you for your review, much appreciated. I want to ask you if there is any reason why the older version of this camera is still much more expensive than the new version. GFX 50S is 1500$ more than the GFX 50SII on BH Photo. If I am not mistaken...

I read today (Can't verify its truthfulness,) that there is a deal going for $3500 for body only. For an extra $500, you get the zoom lens as well. Incredible.
