Josselin Cornou released the above video of his trip to Thredbo in the Mountains of Australia a little while ago and I meant to post it, but I am glad my post was delayed due to a lot of leaks because DPReview got the inside scoop about the trip which you can read here. His final edited photos are pretty amazing and the only camera I would trust in the conditions he shot under would actually be the Fujifilm GFX, but I’m not sure I would try this with the Kipon Adaptor and Tamron 15-30mm F2.8.
I have been attending Art Basel and The Miami Street Photography Festival for the past few days now and the GFX always draws a crowd. It starts with one photographer noticing it and wanting to know more and then a crowd develops, which can actually disrupt and become a focal point at events. Whenever this happens reliability and durability always comes up and I tell people that out of all the cameras I have owned the GFX is the only one that I never put away when the weather takes a turn for the worse. There is just something about how it is put together that gives you confidence after the first torrential downpour.
Last night I was out shooting the city after things started to wind down and some very light rain was in the air that made me want to pack up the Sony a9, but I had no concern at all for my GFX. Some think it’s crazy to expose expensive gear to the elements, but I think it is far less responsive to repeatedly expose questionably built cameras at 1-3k a piece to the elements.
