Try the Mamiya Sekor Z 65mm (RZ) f/4L-A wide angle its equivalent to a 32mm full frame .

I wholeheartedly agree with you here Todd. All these people saying 'oh but presets are cheating', sorry but that's garbage. A preset isn't and was NEVER meant to be the be all and end all of a photo and just a, for lack of a better word, one click solution. A 'preset' is meant to be a starting point. You STILL have to tweak your images to suit your own style, so it's not as if it's removing you from the creative developing process AT ALL because it's not. It's only a starting point if you don't know what you want a particular photo to look like, and then adjust it to suit YOU. You still have to do the work yourself.

The reason camera equipment is discounted is the Japanese Yen is falling rapidly in relation to everything else that's why Nikon is moving their factories back to Japan because the Thai Baht is too expensive.

Those clip in filters make autofocus a lot harder and less. I could focus to infinity without it and when I focus on the same spot, it'll be 15ft... not worth it

As a landscape photographer going away from the tripod was the best thing I’ve ever done. Will patino only shoots handheld and it’s something I embraced and it’s far far better an experience shooting than with a tripod. My a7r5 has 8 stops and I get over a second easily handheld so assuming the Fuji is close. Highly recommend trying it as it’s an infinitely better experience shooting.

Thanks for a good review. I had to disqualify many of the Fujifilm cameras, not because of technical limitations. These are good stats. What disqualifies both versions are for political decisions. Excluding lens, If I bought or was given such a camera it would cost me over $1,000 more to make it usable to me. I'm talking both photography and video. A simple thing as a fully articulating screen was decided to be left out/off of the camera. When I mount the camera high up, so that I can shoot down, I need to see the screen to make sure everything is composed properly and the lighting is as it should be, as well as the focus hasn't shifted. This bad decision has been made by many camera companies. If photographers are concern about the screen breaking, leave it tucked next to the camera. Photographers also need a fully articulating screen. Fujifilm, you are listening to the wrong people! Luckily the X-s20 will meet my needs, even though it is not full frame. Fujifilm, stop leaving important things off of cameras such as an audio out spigot. I must admit disqualifying cameras for deficiencies is easier than choosing a camera. Good video.

The best sound enhancing tutorial. Thank you

Great vlog really enjoy your videos , with the GFX I would move over to this system but for two major issues , No Sensor cover , on a £5000 pounds/dollar camera , I don't want to be cleaning a 5k sensor that's a no no for me ,Canon have resolved this issue and Nikon have followed suit , so I hope Fuji do the same , a simple sensor shield when changing lenses ,I notice you mention putting a filter in front of that sensor but i wondered how much was that and would you really want to put anything in front of a 100mp sensor ,so far I've had Not 1 dust spot on my canon in over 2 years the other issue is weight ,its still a bit too heavy to lug about being a landscape photographer ,so that's what keeping me away at the moment, I'm sure they will fix this and then ill move in a heart beat , please keep up the vlogs Tom I made a few adjustments to my own canon thanks to your previous vlogs thanks again .

I just bought the 100s ii as my entrance into Fuji medium format. I love a deal, so the original 100s was very tempting. However, I have an 8-year-old that I go on adventures with. We're staying in the high country of Yosemite next week. What does that mean? I'll be shooting handheld. I also love to walk around and shoot Robert Adams-esque stuff. Again, no tripod. One day in and I'm thinking this will be a great camera. I'm coming from Mamiya 7, Pentax 67, Panasonic S1, and Leicas.

It's odd that off brand Samsung IPS panel 27 monitors were close to Apple Displays 15 years ago but Ben Q and others can't match Apple's Cine display for $1,500.

No, it's out of my budget.

So sell me ur MK2. Good review btw. Thanks

I'm really keen on this camera because I've been using the 50 and I absolutely love it and I've been doing a lot of handheld landscape photography because of ibis. I'm probably one of those photographers that was late to even the mirror came up until a year ago I was still using a Nikon D 850 for my landscape Photography and that is still a brilliant camera with No ibis. So I do think Ibis is a game changer for landscape photography, especially getting some low angles and some stuff in precarious situations where it's difficult to use a tripod all the time and sometimes you just want to go for a walk for an hour without all the gear just one lens, one camera body and take photos and I think that's where a camera like this probably will shine. Check out Rick Pattino (kiwi photographer) on UA-cam and he does the majority of his work without a tripod at all and I really like the way he does his work. I actually only have a very light tripod. It's a travel tripod and I probably only use it now for about one third of my photography because ibis is such a game changer, and if the ibis actually works really well, which in the 50s ii it works really well. Interestingly I found a 50 to be really good in low light and I've read since that the 50 is actually better because the pixels are bigger and I had no problems photographing stuff in really dark conditions. You can use extended ISO to 50 anyways. The Dynamic range improvement is nice but agree. I think where this camera shines and I know your channel is about landscape photography. Is that if you did want to do some other work with this camera say you get asked to do some Family shots on the weekend you could use this camera now you may not have the lenses for that but then again the GFX lenses are pretty versatile. You could shoot portraits with a 32 to 64 lens no problems at al, I think it's a great upgrade but I agree with you if you already Own it's probably not a great upgrade but if you like me and only own the 50S ii because it was my first GFX camera then this is a significant. Appreciate your review. On the pricing I think GFX medium format cameras are actually the most budget affordable friendly for medium format. I think you get amazing image quality. Maybe it's not as good as Hasselblad and phase one but honestly it is so good. And I have played with the files from my camera and 100 as well and it blows anything full frame away for landscape Photography. I'm sorry Nikon Z8 uses but this thing just blows the Nikon Z8 out of the water for image quality and the Nikon Z8 is a very good camera but GF medium format it's not even a contest in terms of image quality but is more difficult to use and it can be tricky and there are some things with medium format that are tricky to overcome so if you're not experienced then you're new to medium format do your research first because the way you shoot might need to for my long post, but I like to give my honest thoughts and thank you once again for your great video.

So Todd, are you selling your original 100S.....could be interested, just sayin'.....

Thanks for a great review. I have a mark i and will wait until Christmas when I hope Fuji will put the mark ii on sale. At least I hope they will. I agree that none of the features by themselves are compelling, but taken together make it reasonable to upgrade and then treat the mark I as a backup. I have some questions about the Kase sensor UV filter. Does it physically touch the front of the sensor? If so, I wonder if either it or the lenses on the sensor's individual color sensors will be abraded over time due to relative movement when the dust removal vibration occurs. Unless it's screwed in place, some relative movement during the accelerations to dump dust seems to be inevitable. But I haven't seen one so I'm guessing. Here's an unrelated question: did you ever review the GF 30mm tilt shift lens? I've only heard glowing reviews and yet the lens is not expected to be on the market for 6-12 months. That suggests to me that something unexpected was encountered prior to moving to production. Best wishes to you!

FYI most modern camera bodies automatically disable IBIS for shutter speeds under a certain threshold

This video being three years old, this might not be the time and place to ask this. But while this is thoroughly comprehensive, all the while watching it I kept wondering why must or should all these edits be done at the raw level? I understand that there is a non-destructive element to it all in the raw editing stage. But with Affinity (which is what I primarily use these days) you can have non-destructive layers. So what is so "precious" (if that's the right word to use) at the raw level that it is better to do all these edits at that stage?

Currently shoot Sony for my pro and client work..but would love to get into MF in the future and this 100SII is so nice!.....its crazy the fact that Sony provides these sensors to Fuji and others like Nikon as well..but to have a MF sensor that you sell to Fuji..is good for business on Sonys part..but as a Sony shooter I would not mind staying in the Sony eco system and not have to go to Fuji for it..and for them to have a MF body in the future would be amazing..imagine the Sony AF and processing performance in a MF body..quicker than Fuji in that sense with their AF etc etc..but I guess Sony made a deal with Fuji to not step on their toes per say and get into the MF category and only sell them the sensors..lol but I would love to see what Sony comes up with if they actually made a MF camera..

Perfect timing for me. A wonderful overview since I’m ordering the s II tomorrow. I have the original 50s. My work is a mix of editorial and architecture so I need the IBIS and other hand-held improvements as well as the tripod stability-work for architecture. Now if they would just lower the price of that 30mm T/s and make it widely available…

So my Niokn's are generally rated around 5-6 stops but I usually go about half that in reality. Now an 8-10 stop system (like some of the newest cameras) you could probably go with maybe 4-6 stops of realistic use). But it's never what the mfr says, or that's only been achieved in an "ideal" perfect scenario with a fast lens usually (like an f/1 or f/1.4 lens). Most modern mirrorless cameras can do the focus speaking and zooming in to focus (at least ones made in the last 5 years) and this is one reason I moved to mirrorless as it made manual focusing in general much easier. The thing about DR is that some people will go out and buy a new $3000+ body to gain maybe 1/2 or 1/4 of a stop in DR. Personally, as long as a camera could do something like 12 stops of DR, which is pretty much most cameras these days, I never really worried about this, partailly because while having a wide DR is usually good, I will usually bracket if the scene is more than about 5-6 stops difference for the best results. I've tried pulling out details and maintaining highlights in some shots where there was maybe 10-stops of DR or more, and for the most part it was fine, but sometimes shadow or dark areas would get muddy and it just never looked right to me, so I keep the bracketing when possible if it's more than about 5 stops. That all being said, if these are still around $5k for a100MP MF camera in a few years, i could see picking one up and maybe a wide angle lens or two for landscape (and keeping my FF system more for travel and other tasks, including landscape) but starting to work my way into the MF format perhaps (I'd probably still keep one of my 24MP FF bodies and a few lenses around strictly for travel though as I don't really view the 100MP MF systems as "travel" cameras necessarily, although they can probably used as such, but I feel that the high ISO noise penalty may be too uch and where 24-30 MP FF and even ASPC, sensors currently really shine). My guess is that with the aggressive body pricing, once they get you into the system with a body like that, they know you'll probably buy some lenses (the same as what most mfrs are doing in general, although the FF bodies are probably still on the higher side and the MF are almost a bargain in comparison) so my guess is that is their hope is that they may be cheap enough too that you might upgrade every few years, whereas some may buy a higher-end FF And not upgrade for 5-10 years.

Brand new Mark I currently available for £3499. That's £2000 off list price.

Honest video. But when you have a 5x7 large format camera with a 5x7 screen glass, you feel that your GFX display is poorly small. So what are the solutions for a bigger screen ?

Thanks a lot but, you didn't tell us any monitor that support Adobe RGB? besides what about contrast ration and brightness?

Great overview. Thank you. I will agree, tripod mounted one should opt for IBIS turned off. Also many times the extra 2 stops is a software addition to any hardware stabilization, and if shooting wide landscape, you might find it crops in a bit to achieve the "extra 2 stops" I don't want it cropped in if I'm going for wide landscape of cityscape or the like. Is do you know if the 100SII is doing any cropping for the purpose of more stabilization?

Enjoyed your video on back button focus but still a bit confused. I don't seem to be able to get my R5 to transition between One Shot single point focus to Servo Face Tracking mode. I can transition between One Shot single point and Servo mode but in Servo mode it is not Servo Face Tracking. Is there a way to move between One Shot and Servo and have the predetermined settings I want in each of these modes? What am I doing wrong?

It was recently stated that a UV or UV haze filter does not help a digital camera only film, like it compensates, so use just a clear glass protective filter. We used to buy them to help protect the lens element and coatings. Opinions?

If landscape is your thing there’s no need for upgrading here. . Composing with a viewfinder is more my tempo so that new spec does add some value.

I could be wrong, but I think modern cameras know when they are on a tripod. I was out with my 50S II yesterday, used a tripod and never saw any issues. But my longest exposure was only a bit over 3 seconds, maybe that's not long enough to see the movement from the IBIS? I did use electronic shutter though, because I assume that the big shutter will shake the camera or IBIS mechanism when it slaps up and down.

Interested to know...I am going to buy this new Fuji ii s...have a bunch of L series Canon lenses...do you have any experience with that and your opinions? Thoughts?

New owner of the 100s II. Like it. I'm coming from Canon so the menu feels like a weird relic or very PC...but image quality so nice.

Enjoy watching all your videos. Thanks for your very informative comparison review on the Fuji GFX. I am hoping to transition into this system within the next few months.

Great. just got my R5 today. Im a little overwhelmed but this video helps a lot. THANKS!!

Regarding the phone case: I’m on the model-specific line from Beastgrip. These types are among the more robust and precision-engineered ones, though quite a bit on the "solid" i.e. heavier and bulky side (one needs to like that…), for which they also sell (!) a fitted 58mm filter adapter (thus, you’ll need to use step-ups with your existing parts). Otherwise, for a lighter solution, you may want to have a look at the phone cases from Smallrig - despite them using some strangely proprietary connectors for some parts.

In a few words, PolarPro is just hype! It is very clear that B+W, Hoya and Freewell are a lot better, and K&F will probably be one of the top, but unfortunately, it wasn't included in your test.

I wonder if this would work with the iPad as well.

great review...

Wow, that GoPro video really sucks. :)

You can also do focus override with the focus/control ring, while half pressing the shutter button.

I use PureRAW 3 in my workflow for wildlife photos regularly. I tried a trial of 4 and I found the batch processing tedious - looks like I need to select the options for every image individually and couldn't find a way to do them for the batch.

why arent you able to create color profile after your photo has been through camera profile?? color profile is greyed out

Q: is this latest version faster than the older version?

Okay got one for ya. Instead of one shot/servo on, use AF-OFF or AF stop. Then when shooting once you find your focus and want to adjust your framing you just hold that button down and the camera will fire when ever you like. It’s essentially the same thing as the eye tracking toggle trick he suggests (which I love and is a game changer) it’s basically making the camera go to one shot mode but it’s not a toggle. I personally feel like I would forget to toggle it back and fourth when things get moving fast so this just eliminates that from happening for me. I originally figured this out with my old 5d ii which didn’t have the best low light focusing so I would use it to tell my camera to stop focus hunting once I saw it was close enough to sharp.

Thanks Tood 💐

Nice review. Think ill stick with the Neo. Haptics on elite got me interested but tht battery part makes me reconsider. The tourbox is such a powerful tool though! Worth the purchase

I really love this Todd. I`m from the UK and have never been to New York although travelled to the States a few times, but in all the movies or TV series, I`ve ever watched featuring New York, notably the great NTPD Blue, I've never seen the Highline featured or TBH mentioned. Its fantastic though what the city have done in forming this urban walkway and with all the vegetation looks really great. Thanks for et another Photography travelogue Todd, I really love the last few you've done, they're all just so interestinng.

Hi there, Which one is better for architecture photography?, the geared head tripod or the leveling base. Considering both of them cost pretty much the same. Thanks in advance

Yes, I am taking issue with your review. It is fair that I, a novice, should accept that you are a very knowledgeable "near" expert in your field, you fall far too short in this video for the most inane reasoning. The bits of grime and the illusion of quick deterioration on the dials is quite simple to fix ... simply remove the film covering installed to protect the actual dial. When you do this simple task, used throughout the industry, you'll quickly find a solid, robust, wrinkle and dirt free, professional dial! The test of your "problems" definitely fall in line to this unprofessional evaluation.

Don't do video. No action shots anymore. So for my landscape and portraits needs, GFX100s fits very nicely. And it makes me happy whenever I use it.

Do you need an adapter in order to use the sigma lens with the M50 ?

I'm sooo sorry. I do not want to be disrespectful.. But I don't see the artistic or useful side of this convertions .. is there a medical aspect or useful military aspect to this .. for those reasons I would say something like this is worth it.. but on a purely artistic or photographic aspect.. not at all. All of this can be simply done in Photoshop...
