Fujifilm GFX 50S is Only Bested by The Phase One IQ3100 According to Independent Testing


Last week we covered an independent site that tested the current lineup of X-Trans sensor cameras called Photon. Today Photon added the Fujifilm GFX50S to their comparison tool and the GFX doesn’t fail to impress. The only camera that surpasses the GFX in Photon’s testing is the Phase One IQ3100, which is around $44,000. Other cameras get close, but with a PDR of 12.00 the Phase One IQ3100 is the only camera that surpasses it with a PDR of 13.06.

You can manipulate the result yourself here. It’s also interesting that the Sony a7RII received a base PDR of 11.42, Canon 5DS R 9.08, Pentax 645Z 11.75, Leica S 11.36, Nikon D810 11.60, Phase One IQ250 11.92 and Phase One IQ260 10.5. Probably the most surprising result is how well the Sony a7RII and Nikon D810 perform among such expensive medium format systems. Hopefully the GFX will help to bring their prices down to earth.


If you’re wondering how the Fujifilm X-T2 and X-Pro2 compare too the GFX, they have a PDR of 10. You can manipulate the chart here.

Fujinon XF 50mm F2 R WR Review Roundup

The Fujinon XF 50mm F2 R WR came without a lot of fanfair, probably because 75mm isn’t a very popular focal length, but by all accounts this is a very good lens. I doubt it will be very popular among Fujifilm X-T2 photographers, but I think the entire f/2 Fujinon line-up is well suited for the Fujifilm X-Pro2.

Roundup
London Camera Exchange – “Is the Fujifilm GFX50S a camera I need? No, not for what I normally shoot but is the Fujifilm GFX50S a camera that’s now got me rethinking what I enjoy shooting? Yes. Taking a little time spent capturing landscapes and night scenes while using the Lee Filter system has certainly left me craving more. My only fear is that I will now struggle to achieve the same dynamic range and clarity in images that I have been capturing on the GFX today.”

Huseyintaskin (Translate) – First impressions that include the Fujifilm GFX 50S surviving a dust storm. I included translated and non-translated link because some of the pictures and a video don’t show up in the translated edition.

Meet the Fujifilm SQ


Photorumors published a photo of the Fujifilm SQ, which is might be the big brother to the Fujifilm SQ10. The thought is that maybe one camera is an all in one, while the other is a traditional Instax camera. Instax Square is certainly shaping up to be an interesting format. Hopefully we will see Instax wide and regular Instax cameras with SD card slots in the future.

Fujifilm GFX 50S: Maximizing Dynamic Range For Landscapes

Lewis Von John put together a tutorial about how to calibrate your light meter specifically for the Fujifilm GFX 50S, to get the shot right the first time. He uses a Sekonic l-758DR light meter and X-Rite ColorChecker to create a profile for his meter, which consists of 3 shots (one normal, one 3 stops under exposed, and one 3 stops over exposed). If you want to shoot landscape with your GFX, owning a light meter like the Sekonic will definitely save you time if you are doing long exposures.
