I use the first ever Fujifilm GFX.

Wonderful !

I've had this camera for 4-5 years and adore it. I keep thinking about moving up to a 100S or S2, but somehow I just enjoy this one.

Whattttt?! Never expected that swoon-worthy shout out! Crushing right back attcha Omar. Was so excited to see you shooting this camera in your last video, only to be topped by this one! <3

Stop influencing me to pick up Fuji’s “bigboi”, Omar!” 🤣

three little letters... y e t - resistance is futile

The GFX50 has a nice look.

Thank you for the good vibes in each video Omar and congrats with new camera

Zone focusing is a wonderful thing, when done right. Long before any AF came out. 🙂

Congratulations with your camera. Great video about street photography in New York with an old GFX 50 Mpixel with manual focus lens.

So weird, I was out shooting today with that exact set up ! 😍

I just picked up that lens for my GFX 50S II. I still need to take it through it's paces. However, the lens is a complete tank!!! I feel like I'm wielding Mjölnir.

Congrats Omar! You should try to use some Pentax 67 lenses on your gfx…you wouldn’t regret it.

Owned this lens twice, sold it twice 😂 I want to like it, dammit!

I use a 50R and really enjoy the analogue dials and the filmic experience. I wish Fuji would make a 100R with exactly the same controls and IBIS. I'd buy it like a shot.

Nice video as usual Omar, I know the older 50 series bodies are slow (I had a 50R) but I found a V90 class card sped up my 100S noticeably even though it doesn't call for it.

I have both, camera and Mitakon lens, I don’t care about the Black out, its amazing IQ still.

I was for shopping wanted GFX but 100 or 50 S II ? almost same price I decided for 50 Mk 2 and I was right Medium sensor on smaller side with 50 mpx is ideal

The picture of the couple is great. The lighting is so good, looks like a studio shot.

Love the tone

get a hasselblad H3-39 it's cheap now. try it make a video. what a camera.

Love your stuff … need your opinion since you are a professional event shooter … best Fuji jpeg sims BW and color for people? I usually shoot raw/ jpeg but for family events looking to just do jpeg. I have xt5 and x100vi. Thanks😊

Hi Omar, great as allways! 😊 Maybe this helps speeding up your waiting time during black screen: turn of crome color and soft skin tones. It is that render time, that causes the problem – at least with my GFX 50R (that I love … and sell, as I have upgraded to a GFX 100 s for higher resolution, phase AF and IBIS - hoping this turn out as a good decision). Cheers, Peter, Austria

You crack me up! Love the transparency and acceptance of how things don’t always go as planned. Thanks for the video, great stuff.

There's also a plethora of vintage "full frame" lenses that work on a GFX with no issues via a cheap adapter. I got a Minolta Rokkor 58/1.4 for $30 and I love it. Considered the Mitakon as well, but it's too clean, the bokeh is too buttery, and I like my bokeh surreal and punchy, so the double gauss design in the Minolta works perfect for me. Otherwise a Carl Zeiss Planar 50/1.4 also works great, but it the angle of view on GFX was just on the edge of my sweet spot and I didn't like that as much, even though the contrast and bokeh are tasty.

Thanks for sharing.

I love the Ca-Clack of the shutter. I use Peak Design anchors looped around the strap lugs, works well.

Nice to see my favourite camera getting a little love. You can reduce the blackout by disabling chrome effect. Enjoy😊

Also, wanted to add that I love the audio of the city sounds. Often wanted to do the same in a very different scenario, in the woods. In seems so quiet until you stop talking, moving, and just listen. Suddenly there's a whole world of sound you haven't been hearing.

Great shots. I liked the "goofed" cemetery shot better than the edit.

Traded the 50s to 100sii. Happy that the dual picture can be swapped.

Great vid! Makes me wonder how the GFX 50S II Compares to the OG.

Try it side by side with the hasselblad x1d ii 50c

Great video, I reckon you're about 6 months away from a Rolleiflex, you know you want to try one 😊

I was not expecting the 50S to be that much slower than the 100S. You can put a man on the moon in between shots. Nice shots though. I've done some street stuff with the 100S and like it. I'm just not using a manual focus lens for this stuff so more props to you on that. Same with my portrait stuff. I just don't have the time to be "that" slow.

wtf this big battery?

nice intro

Had GFX100s and pair w gf110mm two yrs ago and one of the best combo for portrait I ever used. Yes the combo were big and heavy but it’s all abt the result. Sadly I sold it due to shoulder injury but hopefully in the future Fuji will make smaller and lighter medium format.

Love your content. And I don’t even shoot fujifilm. They appear to be a great company with great cameras.

I like my Nikon Zf, however.

Q: how do you manage used cards so they don’t get mixed up with unused cards? I keep my cards in a nice case with those clear plastic pockets, but it’s a pain keeping track of the used ones vs. the next empty one to put in my camera.

Omar i watched a video where you explain how to fix Sony skin tones.
Could you make some kind of comparison between Sony, Fuji, Nikon and Canon cameras from the present?
I think Canon and Sony raw color have changed a lot the last years.
It would be interesting to see the differences today about raw color science with the same WB and / or auto WB

Thanks so much for the mention! ❤

Been an amateur photographer since 1973 and my style of photography isn't close to yours but still I just really like watching your videos with that humor regardless of subject and of course, watching your pictures in those videos even if that's not my style at all.

Thanks for this, Omar. Are you still using a Sony APSC for filming your talking head bits? Thanks.

Rented a gfx100sii. It was sooo good..and dare I say altho the subject recognition AF is slower than ff..it's more accurate unless you're on flagship canon or sony

Nice to see you with the same kit we have and the same challenges and rewards.

It is a family member at this point. We love the good and the bad.

Love the wb custom abilities.

Using this at the scene really helps for color.

We use the focus technique you employed.

F2 is helpful with the mitikon for getting in focus

Also using feet to focus helps.

Glad you got a 50s.

We have 5 batteries lol

Also check out Damien Lovegrove and his experience using this camera.

This is how i fell in love with Fuji and the 50s

Still am.❤😂

Your skin was so smooth in 2017.

😂😂😂😂😂

Svelt.

I still get images that I am happy with using my - ancient- not- XT20 and XT2, what am I missing out by not being GAS driven to the newer bodies?
