The GFX is beautiful, but unfortunately a nightmare on bigger sets where reliable tethering is crucial. I wonder if the GFX 100s works better in that regard. My digi tech and me basically came to the conclusion that the bigger files don't outweigh the reliability issues. But still...the files out of cam look great.

I really enjoyed this article and the prior process 005 it linked to. I have several film cameras, 35mm and medium format, and I picked up a Fuji X-Pro2 used from MBP last year and the 23mm, 70mm fixed and recently the 2.8 16-55 that photos look like from a prime lens. I have been really impressed with the color rendition and ease of use with the manual controls on the X-Pro2. I have also experimented with a screw mount adaptar and several screw mount primes like a Yashica 50mm 1.4, Chinon 35mm 2.8 and Mamiya/Sekor 135mm 2.8. The adaptor has the pin so when stopping up or down in manual mode I get metering and focus assist! The results so far are sharp but softer than the Fuji glass, more of an analog look. The film simulations and grain effects in camera are available as well so I I want to try some portraits next weekend and see what happens. The GFX100s and lenses would be wonderful of course; I would love to grab a GFX 50R, like the one you borrowed for Process 005. Even though the tech is older, and the files are smaller, I really like the rangefinder feel. And saving some disk space! That will take some saving up for lol.

Digital Fuji cameras seem more and more attractive with film getting so expensive.

Loved the shots with Tinotenda!

The GFX series from Fuji is wonderful, though I feel uncomfortable with digital to a certain extend. It all feels/looks too perfect.

My wife though enjoys the GFX a lot, so we both have what suit us well and we enjoy time out shooting together.

Thanks for the giveaway, which I eventually won, without really realising I actually participated. Would recommend female photographers any time, without prizes! Grateful for the package nonetheless. Thank you!

What a beautiful camera and great photos. I am also looking at adding more digital to my arsenal. Hoping to get my hands on a GFX 50R to try :)
