Thanks to Fujifilm Canada for providing me a pre-production sample of the GF 80mm F1.7 WR, GF 45mm F2.8 WR, and the GFX100 to test it on. ![]() You can watch my long format video review, shorter format standard video review, or just keep reading…įollow Me Patreon | My Newsletter | Instagram | Facebook | DA Merchandise | Flickr | 500px It’s all about perspective…ĭoes the Fujifilm “medium format lite” approach deliver incredible enough image quality to make it worth accepting the additional cost and limitations over full frame? Join me as we explore this rather complicated topic. If your comparison point is other medium format cameras, however, you will probably find the GFX lineup fairly feature rich. Compared to those cameras, there are many areas of performance on the GFX-100 that will feel quite primitive. I’m very familiar with cameras like the Canon EOS R5 and Sony a7RIV/ Alpha 1, high resolution full frame cameras that attempt to compete optically and definitely outstrip the GFX-100 in features and overall performance. And I will be doing such comparisons as part of this review, as in many ways the GFX lineup is more in competition with higher end full frame cameras than it is Hasselblad. Fuji has taken a different approach to MF, with bodies priced under $10,000 (though barely, in the case of the GFX-100) and features that put them more in direct competition with full frame cameras, but in doing so invited more direct comparisons. At the moment, the GFX-100 is the cheapest way to get 100+ MP of resolution, though that will soon change with the arrival of the GFX-100s. Both the incredible prices and the incredible image quality made medium format the exclusive domain of well-heeled professionals. ![]() Medium format has always been fairly inaccessible, and it was understood that there were a lot of serious compromises/challenges to using the systems (One of my subscribers on YouTube mentioned that his long term rental Phase One medium format back had one!!! focal point in its autofocus “system”. ![]() In many ways, though, Fuji is a victim of their own success.
