Dude - congrats on your work - would love to see some images if you don't mind sharing?? But yes, coming from a 50S II to this camera is like going from an X-T2 to X-T4 in terms of AF. If that metaphor isn't strong enough for you, I basically always use the Eye AF in AF-C whereas I never used AF-C on the 50S II. It's great. The 100S II seemingly is the "same" as the GFX100 II but I am still waiting for a strong vis-a-vis comparison between the two AF systems (in theory they're the same but the X-H2 and the X-T5 have VASTLY different AF results).

Glad to see a new video from you sir! How's the AF photographing your daughter in contrast to the GFX100s? To be honest, I have 0% interest in the GF100 II, mainly due to the price, upgrading isnt really an option for me. So I didn't really look into this camera, but thanks for your thoughts. I learned a ton! It'd be a solid upgrade for video from the 100s, but I dont think I would ever be in that position. I think the 100sii is the upgrade I begrudgingly have to make specifically for AF. I'm really hoping the 100sii brings the shooting experience from 'i can kill it in the studio and on the street, but cant literally shoot anything moving more than slow' to a versatile camera! Solid performance from the XF8mm!
@oxeneers28 күн бұрын
Much love man, glad you made it over here. The AF is a huge step up - but don't expect X-H2s or Sony/Canon/Nikon-level of stickiness. It's still a huge step up. Feels very "modern" and "clean" if that makes any sense. Yes, the price if you already have the 100s is a huge put-off but the battery grip was a huge push for me to get it and it's kind of an endgame camera, you know what I mean? I haven't seen anyone do a 100s ii vs 100 ii AF video - there HAS to be some minor, weird, "pixel peeping" type of difference but haven't seen anyone do it yet. Would be interested to see. Or, maybe, it's exactly the same. Who knows. I know for something like the X-H2 vs X-T5 - both cameras have the exact same sensor and exact same processor, and yet the X-H2 has 20-30% better AF. So is it that same dynamic? Hard to say. XF8mm - now that's a lens I still don't know how to use. You're the wide angle god and the thing stopping me from grabbing the 20-35 is my awful attempts at SWA photography. Need to learn more from you haha. Hope you're well man and enjoyed the Hawaii trip - looked incredible.

Great feedback - will definitely do this next time. To be fair, the headshots are all with the 45-100mm f4 and the other shots are the 63mm f2.8 and 80mm f1.7. I think the grip is great because it helps balance the larger lenses (especially the 45-100mm f4) and it does really well for portrait shooting due to the vertical grip nature. Great points though and thank you for watching!

I, like you, am a hobbyist with a full-time job who loves photography/videography and have had a few professional gigs. I got my GFX 100 ii in December and absolutely love it. I sold my Canon R5 kit (RF 15-30 2.8, 50 1.2, 70-200 2.8, 100-500 4.5-7.1) for it and have not regretted it for a second. Personally, I have so much more fun with GFX. I actually shoot my camera in single shot for the 16-bit files, which has drastically slowed down my shooting, but in my opinion, for the better (fewer overall photos taken, but so many more keepers). Thank you for your honest review; I believe I have watched every review of the 100 ii on YT so far (there aren't very many), and they all miss so much of what the camera is and can do, probably because every other review is by someone who has been sent the camera for a short period, never an owner of it like you. I actually use and appreciate the video functions extensively, and I've noticed most reviewers were sent a 55 1.7 to showcase, which is notoriously bad for video AF with its stepping motor, and have commented harshly on it, which I think has really hurt the perceived video abilities of this camera, which in my opinion is what sets it apart to a whole new level from every other medium format camera out there (Hasselblad, Phase One, Pentax, etc).
@oxeneersАй бұрын
Really appreciate your reply! Was nodding my head reading everything you wrote. You're right on the money here. Yes, 16-bit shooting is a bit slower than switching to 14-bit but agreed that it helps you slow down which is a theme over the years with GFX. So glad you're loving the camera and feel me on the rental and 'first look' reviews. I didn't even get a chance to talk video on this thing, which yes, has gotten a tough rap due to all the rental guys using the 55mm and a non-LM lens. Appreciate you watching and giving me kind words here, thank you!!!!

@@oman4229 I use a MacBook Pro M1 Max. Although I can't immediately see the difference between 16-bit and 14 or even 12 on a screen such as my MacBook, it has significant advantages when editing photos. Greg Benz Photography has an excellent description of the benefits of larger-bit files. One of the things he noted was, "Why do we have options for even more than 10-bits in our cameras and Photoshop? If we never edited photos, there would be no need to add any more bits than the human eye can see. However, when we start editing the photos, previously hidden differences can easily start to show. If we significantly brighten the shadows or darken the highlights, then we are expanding some portion of the range. We are making any minor errors or rounding error in the data more obvious. In other words, increasing the contrast in the image is like decreasing bit depth. If we manipulate the photograph enough, this will start to show up as “banding” in the image. Banding is obvious/discrete jumps from one color or tone to the next (instead of a smooth gradient). You’ve already seen a theoretical example with the low-bit gradients above. Typical real-world example would be various “bands” showing up in the clear blue sky or excess noise."

I'm really hoping the 100sii brings the shooting experience from 'i can kill it in the studio and on the street, but cant literally shoot anything moving more than slow' to a versatile camera! Solid performance from the XF8mm!
Much love man, glad you made it over here. The AF is a huge step up - but don't expect X-H2s or Sony/Canon/Nikon-level of stickiness. It's still a huge step up. Feels very "modern" and "clean" if that makes any sense. Yes, the price if you already have the 100s is a huge put-off but the battery grip was a huge push for me to get it and it's kind of an endgame camera, you know what I mean? I haven't seen anyone do a 100s ii vs 100 ii AF video - there HAS to be some minor, weird, "pixel peeping" type of difference but haven't seen anyone do it yet. Would be interested to see. Or, maybe, it's exactly the same. Who knows. I know for something like the X-H2 vs X-T5 - both cameras have the exact same sensor and exact same processor, and yet the X-H2 has 20-30% better AF. So is it that same dynamic? Hard to say. XF8mm - now that's a lens I still don't know how to use. You're the wide angle god and the thing stopping me from grabbing the 20-35 is my awful attempts at SWA photography. Need to learn more from you haha. Hope you're well man and enjoyed the Hawaii trip - looked incredible.
Cause I’m black 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hobbyist. Started with the 50R and owned several GFX to now the 100II. Mostly landscape and travel. Imagine quality is it. Period. Does well in harsh conditions from sand blasting in Namibia to snow and ice in northern Norway. If I wanted super fast autofocus there are other options. Not for my case use. Definitely share your love for the camera!!
Awesome - yes, the 100 II is that endgame camera for sure. Harsh conditions are often a fail for most of my photography on the APS-C line of cameras I own but you're right - the 100 II lets you 'save' any photo with the DR and IQ capabilities, very well said. And I am jealous you've been to Namibia aka a photographer's dream destination haha. So glad you watched and commented, thank you!!
I agree, flickr are the best photographic site for photographers ! Too many are "wannabes" and hope to show off on fx instagram, but flickr are just the best place to watch and show photos to enjoy, find inspiration, finding watch cameras and Lenses are good and much more. 👍
Thank you for sharing.. I live in Riyadh, with dusty weather most of the year, so protection from dust is very important to me. My question: is there a mechanical shutter curtain, that closes to protect the sensor from dust? At least when I swap lenses?
Hi! Thanks for watching!! Wow, yeah, so there is an EF-C and MS but the MS does not close when the camera is off like the higher end Sony cameras, sadly. The sensor is exposed. Fujifilm should change that though!
@@oxeneers Thank you
Do wish you had included the lens and exposure information with each shot rather than the camera (since the review was about the GFX 100 II. I also have one and decided to carry more batteries rather than the grip.
Great feedback - will definitely do this next time. To be fair, the headshots are all with the 45-100mm f4 and the other shots are the 63mm f2.8 and 80mm f1.7. I think the grip is great because it helps balance the larger lenses (especially the 45-100mm f4) and it does really well for portrait shooting due to the vertical grip nature. Great points though and thank you for watching!
I, like you, am a hobbyist with a full-time job who loves photography/videography and have had a few professional gigs. I got my GFX 100 ii in December and absolutely love it. I sold my Canon R5 kit (RF 15-30 2.8, 50 1.2, 70-200 2.8, 100-500 4.5-7.1) for it and have not regretted it for a second. Personally, I have so much more fun with GFX. I actually shoot my camera in single shot for the 16-bit files, which has drastically slowed down my shooting, but in my opinion, for the better (fewer overall photos taken, but so many more keepers). Thank you for your honest review; I believe I have watched every review of the 100 ii on YT so far (there aren't very many), and they all miss so much of what the camera is and can do, probably because every other review is by someone who has been sent the camera for a short period, never an owner of it like you. I actually use and appreciate the video functions extensively, and I've noticed most reviewers were sent a 55 1.7 to showcase, which is notoriously bad for video AF with its stepping motor, and have commented harshly on it, which I think has really hurt the perceived video abilities of this camera, which in my opinion is what sets it apart to a whole new level from every other medium format camera out there (Hasselblad, Phase One, Pentax, etc).
Really appreciate your reply! Was nodding my head reading everything you wrote. You're right on the money here. Yes, 16-bit shooting is a bit slower than switching to 14-bit but agreed that it helps you slow down which is a theme over the years with GFX. So glad you're loving the camera and feel me on the rental and 'first look' reviews. I didn't even get a chance to talk video on this thing, which yes, has gotten a tough rap due to all the rental guys using the 55mm and a non-LM lens. Appreciate you watching and giving me kind words here, thank you!!!!
What monitor do you use to edit the 16bit photos on?
@@oman4229 I use a MacBook Pro M1 Max. Although I can't immediately see the difference between 16-bit and 14 or even 12 on a screen such as my MacBook, it has significant advantages when editing photos. Greg Benz Photography has an excellent description of the benefits of larger-bit files. One of the things he noted was, "Why do we have options for even more than 10-bits in our cameras and Photoshop? If we never edited photos, there would be no need to add any more bits than the human eye can see. However, when we start editing the photos, previously hidden differences can easily start to show. If we significantly brighten the shadows or darken the highlights, then we are expanding some portion of the range. We are making any minor errors or rounding error in the data more obvious. In other words, increasing the contrast in the image is like decreasing bit depth. If we manipulate the photograph enough, this will start to show up as “banding” in the image. Banding is obvious/discrete jumps from one color or tone to the next (instead of a smooth gradient). You’ve already seen a theoretical example with the low-bit gradients above. Typical real-world example would be various “bands” showing up in the clear blue sky or excess noise."

One day... one day..🥲
Honestly if you sold all your Sony and Lumix and all the other stuff you buy, you'd have a god-tier camera capable of everything you ever needed. Eassyyyyy.
Great video and loved the shots at the end!
Thank you!!!!! ❤❤
When will people understand the GFX is its own experience? Comparing it to ANY current camera is apples to oranges. GFX is its own beast. Thanks Dylan! Great points.
Much love for you Dan! You're one of the OGs on here spewing the gospel of GFX haha. So well said.
@@oxeneers just sharing the joy lol
Fantastic man! I’ve got a loaner coming with the 500, so I’m excited to get going on it. I have the 100sii for now, and I doubt I’ll upgrade to the 100ii… but you never know! Great video and shots man.
Still no.1 in 2024 and I've tried them all
Great video. In average how many photos do you shoot per wedding, best regards
Hey thank you so much for watching - seriously! I just did a wedding on Saturday but it's not your typical wedding. 1 hour ceremony + 2 hour reception. Shot about 3,000 photos between both cameras - lots of bursting (brought my X-H2 and X-H2s - 56mm f1.2 on one and 23mm f1.4 on the other). I need to get better. What do you think is best in terms of overall shots?
@@oxeneers Thank you for your prompt response. I'm unsure what the best option is. I've been learning from various photographers and doing my own research, found around 6,000 to 10,000 photos for an 8-10 hour wedding . Waiting for your next video !!! Have a nice day.
I kept only 33mm and the 90mm for my Fuji system (still waiting for an updated 18mm F2 to complete my set). I will tend to say that the 90mm is the best lens. If you didn't try it yet, give it a go 😀
Man, 18mm f1.4, 33mm f1.4, and 90mm f2 is pretty much a perfect trilogy. I prefer the 56mm f1.2 for the look but the 90mm is always great. Awesome kit dude!!

Eddie griffin be trippn lately 🤣
Great video. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
No, thank you for watching!! Love the comment thank you again!
Garmins aren’t for fat chubs
Just picked up a used XT5 and the shutter is so “quiet” or dampened or whatever. Sounds kinda like your XH2S I think. My brain telling me the shutter is broken lol, but I’m used to the loud thunks of my old XT2
So true! You're right. X-T2 vibes indeed. Thanks for watching my silly little video haha.
🎉
What a great video! Thank you!
Thanks a lot for watching!!!!
Crips in long beach always snitching 😂
As an owner of 100II and other systems I can tell image quality is outstanding, just brilliant. Focus is slow and not on full frame level, rolling shutter is HUGE
I don't think rolling shutter is as bad as it is made out to seem, all things considered. In a vacuum, it ain't bad, but next to the latest FF sensors and stacked competition, it isn't close, you're right. Glad you're on the owner group!
@@oxeneers well I can send you an examples, photos are barely recognizable
Cool video, I have the Epix gen 2 pro, and the ultra, and I wear the ultra mostly, since I feel like its more useful at work. I wear my garmin on the weekends and for any activities, and its just better for those things. I like the way the epix looks A LOT more. If had to choose one, I'd pick the epix, since it doesn't really need cell service to work. The ultra has been great for me though, been using it over a year and banging it up against chainrings and other sharp metal all day and its still scratch free. Its a really good smart watch, very useful for work, plus with the airpods and iphone its just works so well.
20 snitchin
Even better when you don’t use Lightroom. Use Capture One with GFX Worms and color is off. X trans vs Bayer issue. Can see in a few of your images. We have the 50s ❤ the images.
Its because in black.....ermm no its because you stupid
Do you need to copyright your images etc
No, I use creative licensing for some and full copyright for others. Flickr gives you a ton of options, have you checked it out?
That dude is way to big to be on that smaller guy just to be frank
He assumed the position as soon as he seen the cops so he's been arrested plenty of times
Just got it today. Love it. Thanks
Still the best portrait lens and even works great for street!!
Do you have problems with focus? At the moment my focus becomes doubtful, it takes a while to focus.
It definitely is unique in that. Wouldn't say I have a problem but it certainly isn't as good as the new LM lenses. I'm so used to it now, I know how to work 'around' it.
You'r right ☝️ i have a Garmin venu 3 and the galaxy watch 6 44mm. My Garmin is way bether for the health and fitness tracking and with 14 dans battery life VS 40h for the galaxy watch.
I joined 2005, lapsed in 2012, jumped back on last month.
Just followed you!
Imagine being so dumb and in denial that you cant comprehend that you got you manhood taken away in public. Still has the audacity to try n play victim after attacking the cashier . Just wild
Well, you've convinced me! never used Flickr before and I didn't even know what is was about but I am really excited to get started!
You're getting arrested because you're a freaking idiiiot , not bacause you're ⚫️😂😂😂
Are you still in Ah with the GFX ? 🎉 Getting one for myself 😮
Hahahaa
