Do you have the Fuji GF63mm 2.8? Are you still enjoying it? Did you trade it in for something else?

I own 9 GF lenses and the GF63mm f/2.8 is one of my faves. Very sharp, great contrast and lovely colours. I have used it for VOGUE, ELLE, etc...

Thanks for stopping by Benjamin! I've seen your GFX work. It's gorgeous. Loved the set you shot in the Rodin Museum.

@@KevinDeal Thanks for your kind words, Kevin. I really find your work quite compelling! I used 2 lenses at the Rodin, the 45 for 1 image and the 63 for the rest.

Yep, I love my 63mm. It's my go-to for the majority of subjects in my at home photo project about a health condition. For my tastes it's tight enough to isolate subjects without too much background clutter. I use the 45mm occasionally and the 100-200 less often again (but very glad to have it). My hot tip for the 63 and 45mm's is the Fotodiox 11mm 'macro' extension tube, it makes photographing close ups a dream. I use this much more than the native GF macro tubes. The 63mm's 'focus breathing' can take some getting used to, especially for close up subjects, but as I'm rarely in a rush it's something I can live with.

(takes notes about that Fotodiox extension tube) Thanks for the pointer there. I need to investigate this further.

I've been using one camera and one lens for over a year. Gfx 50s and the Gf 63mm. It's completely underrated. I use the 63mm for everything. Love it!

I just got the new 100sii and that was the lens I wanted for it. I’m so far loving it

It’s a killer lens. Great value too.

I prefer the low contrasty color rendering of GF63 than GF80's high contrast.

The 80 definitely bites down harder on the contrast.

@@KevinDeal had the 100S on loan with this and a few other lenses. i want to get the 100S II to compliment my A1. the image quality i got out of the Fuji was so good that it is hard to compare the two systems. during testing i found to my surprise that this lens gave me more than i expected.

@@RobJorg definitely. It's a small lens with surprisingly good results.

Good video, I have the 63mm and like it. How do you nail your flesh tones so well with the GFX? I find myself battling a slight blue to magenta cast in highlights, even with custom and accurate white balance.

I'm not sure if I'm doing anything special. I tend to use Classic Chrome, Nostalgic Negative and Classic Negative as my base. Then I just adjust my white balance to taste. I use the 100S, so not sure if you have te exact model. Thank you for the kind words!

@@KevinDeal thank you Kevin, I’m using the GFX100 and GFX1OO II. My background is in photo lab processing and studio portraits so I’m probably overly sensitive to color correction.

@@outwestjim yeah. I'd love to say I'm doing some crazy process but the skin tones out of my GFX100S are usually really close to what I want, so I don't do too much in post. No secret to reveal, really.
