Fujifilm GFX 50S: Really Right Stuff First Look and More

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 26, 2017

A lot of Fujifilm GFX Owners are interested in L-Brackets for the GFX 50S, but many are disappointed that you have to remove most L-Bracket designs to replace the battery. Really Right Stuff is known for having some of the best designs around and above we get our first good look at their L-Bracket designed specifically for the Fujifilm GFX 50S. One thing that’s interesting about their bracket is that if you buy it for use with a handgrip you can access the battery in the grip, but not in the body.

I wish they would have made a bulge in the rail or some kind of snap open frame so you can access the battery in the camera, but if you really want to access the GFX battery without removing the L-Bracket users in our owners group have reported that the Arca-Swiss L-Bracket will allow access to the battery without removing the L-Bracket.

Fujifilm GFX 50S: High Resolution Editing and Display, A Bold first Impression and The Hireacamera Road Trip

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 24, 2017

A little over a year ago I wrote an article 24MP and Beyond, where I explored the need for high megapixel cameras for digital display in the near future. Now that 4k, 8k and HiDPI displays are becoming very popular among photographers there is another issue to be covered… editing. diglloyd has taken the time to put together an informative piece about editing on these displays and how it is unwise. High resolution displays simply aren’t good for detailed editing work at this time, but they are a supurb way to display high megapixel images like the ones produces by the Fujifilm GFX 50S.

Above Jake Hicks gives his lengthy first impressions of the Fujifilm GFX 50S, which is more like a review. Jake considers the camera to be “absolutely outstanding” and “this genuinly is the next step.” Yet, probably the most interesting quote from Jake is “if you want a camera… that is going to help you cheat at photography… personally I think this is it”, which might sound like a bold statement, but if you have been following FujiAddict then you have seen some of the recovery examples out there. The Fujifilm GFX 50S gives you the ability to correct almost any error and Jake gives plenty of examples. Below you can see part 4 of the Hireacamera road trip.
