I actually have some very strong opinions about bias and DPR, but I'm doing my best to be temperate. The GFX 50R has been designed to be more portable than the 50S. It should not have anything to do with whether ISO amplifies signal further or not. After this, the next gen sensor is the one that is coming on the next Fuji model: GFX 100S. The next generation of GFX cameras that fuji will release soon will be 100MP and more. ecka84, I turned off NR and sharpening on both just to see what the sensor does. The talent is in lighting, technique and composition. Tonality to dribble at, **file latitude +++**, DR, and the spacial separation at any given f stop that one should expect with a larger sensor. What shooting conditions canthe Fuji just not handle? Also the X!D is already discontinued because it was a failure, what does that tell you. When Fujifilms 100MP sensor comes out with its improvements over the current 50MP sensor, we should be able to see what the larger sensor can provide. You could easily get an XT30 w/ 18-55 kit for video, and have this for the specific advantages of Medium Format. The dual UHS-II compatible SD slots are amazing to have, especially for critical shoots in the field. I looked at it, and I'm not putting up with that at any price. So, where is the key advantage coming from? But you can do that by purifying the information the image contains. Forget about brands and look at capability in a realistic way as it applies to professional usage. There is also a huge cost premium involved when moving up to the largest 53.5mm x 40mm sensors. @Duncan.. *you* might favor what others don't feel they need (or want) as badly as more resolution. @Teila Day I agree with you completely. It brought back all the reasons why I went to full-frame 7 years ago. I really miss shooting with the S1/S2/S5 Pro (those skin tones!). Really good. We've got our hands on a full-production copy of Fujifilm's GF 50mm F3.5 "pancake" prime lens for their medium-format GFX system. You should easily be able to provide quality images from both cameras demonstrating those clear differences. We've updated our 'best cameras for travel' buying guide for those looking for a camera to bring on their next adventure, once it's safe to do so. Nevertheless in my work, the difference is definitely notable and all things considered well worth the jump from FF (which I still use) to DMF. Medium format disciples are obsessed with justifying their choice, and one of these justifications is that the medium format sensor "catches more light", which is demonstrably false. I have to spend so much more time trying to get it to focus on what I want it to (usually people). Nor do the painters I know sit around to furiously debate brushes and canvas. So this is one interpretation of what an HDR result of the 50R. Everything else feels great about the GFX 50R. Any less than that, and the difference will only be discernible through pixel-peeping or close side-by-side comparisons. A $100 used Nikon DX can give you some sort of beautiful background blur. Probably some of You view it differently, what's more important for me it just methodology i want do explain. Especially when you are hiking. That would be silly. These medium format sensors are barely larger than FF. So, inherently, MF definitely is better than FF, but current offerings suggest GFX is for niche application. MF can be ruled out for sports and wildlife due to AF and focal length considerations. You must be joking. , https://blog.mingthein.com/2015/02/24/that-medium-format-look-what-is-it/. And btw AF is for lazy photographers. Most full frame camera (except Sony) are better designed (and cheaper) than the GFX50S and GFX50R. Sometimes it works, mostly it looks like you are trying too hard. So does, DoF. First, you compare an image from the Z7 using half pixels for autofocus and compare it to image from the contrast detect system of the 50r where the noise profile of pixels isn't affected by AF pixels. Not to say that their slow glass makes for pretty long shutter speeds. Read our full review to find out how it performs. I think Fujifilm is in for deep sh!t.APS-C is on the return when looking by what is being released these days and your GFX is way too bulky to ever become mainstream. And then one photo from GFX and she says: buy it. z7 closeuphttps://www.dropbox.com/s/za8xuzn1pzhpvvs/Z7%20shadows.png?dl=0, 50r closeuphttps://www.dropbox.com/s/qq39k7zze2o60c1/_50r%20shadows.png?dl=0, z7 fullhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/bbkjkfhss04xid1/DSC_8592_RR_p00_25_50_tonemapped%203045.jpg?dl=0, 50r fullhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/4lnpcjn95gq4uzu/DSCF1025_p00_25_50_tonemapped%20a%203040.jpg?dl=0. It's called SUCCESSFUL trolling. If you shot ISO 1600 manually (using the same exposure values as the metered ISO 6400 exposure), you'd get the same Raw data but a non-usable JPEG. What DPR does not even mention is the fact that you would need an F1.75 MF lens to let the sensor capture as much light as a Nikon FF with a F1.4 lens mounted, and such a lens does not exist. I'll always hope. The best way to know is to try it. If that's the case then the argument that ff is equal because its lenses are faster than the GFX lenses doesn't hold water. If a camera costing half as much money can do most/nearly all of what the camera you're reviewing can do (plus a whole lot else), how would it be reasonable to conclude: 'I'll judge it only by its marketer's intent and pretend it's magically distinct.'. @Duncan M This is a 2013 sensor made by Sony, not even designed for mirrorless, but Fuji and Hasselblad tweaked it to work on mirrorless cameras. The magnitude of photon shot noise is greater than the sampling precision, so you're oversampling most of the tones of your image (this is how Nikon is able to lossily compress its Raws without any visible loss of data: the highlights are so monstrously oversampled that you can compress it down a lot without any meaningful loss). Since the sensor size of the GFX vs FF is only about 1.22x and 1.33, a good primes on FF will bridge the gap. As an alternative, many cameras have a DR mode that reduces the gain/ISO relationship by one stop (or one/two stops in the case of Fujifilm), then has a tone curve to incorporate the additional highlights into the JPEG. You could say that, but they lost me as a customer, and I'm sure they've lost countless others because of this. Because to really compare it to FF you should've approach it from different angle, and leave Your comfort zone of how You test all the gear. The extra light gathering capability is more than negated by faster lenses for FF. Full frame pretty much meets imaging requirements and offers a huge historic pool of lenses and great bodies. That the most ridiculous argument I have ever heard. I'm enjoying my D850 right now. NOT ONE image could be improved if only they had a f1. For me the advantage of MF is in print. Seriously? Do they care? Felts, it's not just the sensor, it's the MF lenses. This particular camera is inferior to a D850 or Sony A7rIII in too many respects. Virtually no one looking at the X-T3 will consider this medium format camera because of its performance. But it is a medium format camera: Slow AF, large, heavy, "epensive". Good luck with your 8500 dollar 100MP FF+ camera. Surely CX7 can haul some bricks? How about a paper cartridge option so you print on the go as well? Feels like an X-Pro2 that’s been bulking up in the gym. So, if you're using an iMacPro (5K), the newest FF will be about as good as a MF, and the crop will be slightly lagging behind the two. Chris and Jordan from DPReview TV also shot a gallery with the lens, but on Panasonic bodies. nonuniform, you actually took the 45 seconds to come up that well thought out comment. Always there so many, that have negative comment, about new camera or old. This sensor was used first in Pentax 645z. Z7 without NRhttps://www.dpreview.com/galleries/2418320136/photos/3864461/z7-nx-d-no-nr-copy, 50r without NRhttps://www.dpreview.com/galleries/2418320136/photos/3864460/50r-capture-one-no-nr-copy, It's still ugly as hell, John. The GFX 50R contains many familiar ingredients but what's new? And if Fuji builds something I want, I won't be "scared" because I'll just buy it. large Sensor size allow you to get a wider angle scene without distorition. Nasim Mansurov is the author and founder of Photography Life, based out of Denver, Colorado. And I agree with everything Felts is saying. The sample-collecting probe filmed the Moon from close up and then captured its own landing, but the best bit is the color stitched panorama that's 15,000 pixels wide. The GFX is an old camera released two years ago. With the X-T3, it takes too long to acquire focus. It looks like a real camera and reminds of the medium format film days. I never approached either of those systems the way I did my 35mm kits. You would really do a handheld selfie? There are a lot of photo/video cameras that have found a role as B-cameras on professional productions or A-camera for amateur and independent productions. A very noticeable difference from 2 1/4" film. Yeah, that's what they say now. I just bought a Nikon Z6, and I am loving it. They're keeping their lens system cheaper, in anticipation of global shutter. My camera will still focus on 2 seconds. It is not going to be that DR wonder you think it will be. Larger sensors are about getting a more expansive scene in your shot. FotodioX Nikon F to Fuji GFX 50S Adapter Review, Tips for Photographing the Great Conjunction. It's just a little better than FF. Haven't we seen this comparison already? Combining a 37MP full-frame sensor, minimalist controls and Lightroom Mobile built in, it's a refreshing – if a bit quirky – take on the smartphone-meets-camera concept. Nice camera, but limited. well here's the point RZ67 has "slightly bigger" ( :) ) frame so you're comparing incomparable ;). "I turned off NR and sharpening on both just to see what the sensor does"- Which is absolutely pointless. Fujifilm's latest lens is a sharp, reasonably compact and well-built wide-angle for the company's GFX medium-format cameras. In this week's Film Friday we join up with a group of Soviet climbers, prepping to summit Mount Everest. I would also love a sensor that has the same resolution/angle of view from 4:3 to 16:9. We've combed through the options and selected our two favorite cameras in this class. With a contrast-detection AF system and 1080P video, the GFX 50R isn't a barnstormer in these areas. There is not a single person on the planet of any photography background who would do 15 minutes of research and think this is a camera for birds and sports. As the smallest lens in the lineup, we decided to see how it stacks up as a travel companion on some recent trips. Certainly, it's a niche, but it is a growing niche with differences that will become even more apparent with their 100MP release in June. It is not a cobsumer camera, so comparing it to the latest NikonCanonSonys is pointless. For the Z7, banding in the shadows at +5ev. Both the GFX 50R and the Z7 are mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras that are based on a medium format (GFX 50R) and a full frame (Z7) sensor. Well, you should also try taking more photos of brickwalls, sunsets, and maybe some family snapshots to really see IQ of that Nikon. The top controls are intuitive and easy to use (although a top lock on the exposure compensation dial would have been appreciated). That glass is a world-beater and DPR acts like it is no big deal. Smaller sensors are about zooming. There's also a question of diminishing returns. It's a niche (and pricey) product to be sure, but so far we find it to be well-designed and capable of outstanding results. The Kodak 135 format was introduced in 1934. The GFX 50R is capable of incredible detail, but there may be other better-rounded options out there better for you and your style of photography. NOT ONE image has fancy blurry bokeh. This is why PDAF pixels on a sensor take away from a STILL image quality and is why I would choose the 50r. And even then you can question if that would be worth 8500 dollars compared to what is available from Sony and Nikon these days. In fact setting the Fujifilm to ISO 6400, DR400% would have achieved pretty much what our processed image does, out-of-camera. I wouldn’t shoot Nikon if they did go MF. MF will be inferior in terms of AF, portability and price. Matt, from YouTube channel DIY Perks, has shared how he managed to get more from the camera, first through watercooling his R5, then through more conventional means. Have a look. So why are people buying FF and lenses and what not? But nooooo. Wow. This camera is a cheap way to get into the GFX system. At any rate, I never advertised this was worthy of hanging on the wall, it was just to technically see the noise difference in the shadows. Interesting, thank you! Monogram's Creative Console allows you to build out a customized set of physical controls to speed up your editing workflow. Nikon and Canon are day and night because of Canon's old sensor design (shadow noise, low DR, limited resolution). Even Sony has at least a 16-70mm F4. Like every camera. See the full list of the GFX 50R's specifications. This is partially due to the rangefinder-like design that Fuji engineers were aiming at. Second and third areas I proposed I problably hadred to come by yet I think this could be approached from diffrent angle. So it is what it is. Images from mobile phone can deliver good 8x10 prints. As always, they try to steer top-end photographers back to FF from an emerging MF niche that has a world of promise. Fuji designed to strip off the wonderful D-pad many of us Fuji shooters have gotten used to over the years and replaced it with a tiny and flimsy joystick: In addition, Fuji for some reason decided to incorporate more buttons without labels – the GFX 50R has three of them, as you can see in the above image. And GFX 50S with 110mm F2. We threw one onto the Sony a7R IV and went out shooting. FF is still better in terms of DoF and light gathering capabilities, considering the lenses that are currently available. It's a unique look that I enjoyed in the DPReview sample gallery for this camera. But I did. Which one? Fujifilm is losing out on a huge audience. The FUJIFILM GFX 50R is supplied with a 3.69M-dot EVF with 100% coverage. It is fast too. This is because those pros are more interested in story telling than creaming buttery-smooth blur circles. - do you like to have bragging rights with the latest gadget? There are some cameras (the D850 and Z7 specifically) that can close much of that gap by having a base ISO that's 2/3EV lower*. I kind of like what the 50r raws give in terms of latitude. Mine arrived this week. Even the D850 or A7r III files are not on the same level as my GFX. Even in a high dynamic range scene there's little real-world difference. It's not what everyone would do, but *for me* the GFX files are far far more malleable than my FF output. This camera is just 'milking' and fooling customers.Yes its much underwhelming compared to Sony and Nikon offerings. Sentons is pushing this technology further with CameraBar, tech it anticipates will be utilized in smartphones next year. And, FWIW, based on what I see in my work, the DMF difference is major, really major to me. Richard, I need to build a house and haul some cement bags and bricks, sometimes to drop in two workers. Plus one has to buy all new glass to handle those 26 MP APS-C pixel density (it's the equivalent of 50 MB full frame). I've been thinking getting either m4/3 or Fuji GFX but I haven't decided." No one noticed that the Z7 and A7III images were shot at f5.6 and the GFX50S + R images were shot at f8, the diffraction component at f8 start to kick in, making it look like the full frame is as good as the GFX. Blurry backgrounds are artistically neutral, not an end in themselves. It shares most of its components with the existing GFX 50S, including both its sensor and processor, but re-arranges them into a slightly smaller and less expensive package. I am not sure who you were addressing with your comments but I don't really appreciate your condescending and sarcastic tone. Why bother? @Kevin, I think that, currently, GFX's sensor does not offer the improvements that one would expect a sensor of this size. Back in film days I had a Pentax 645 and later a Bronica RF645. Same as a large 4x5 negative. Plus AF precision and (customizable!) The Fujifilm GFX 50R and the Sony Alpha A7R IV are two digital cameras that were announced, respectively, in September 2018 and July 2019. Fujifilm GFX 50R and Fujifilm GFX 50S have the same Fujifilm G lens mount and currently there are 12 native lenses available for these cameras. Thats pushing the files more than I did... but I lift the shadows and pull back highlights as part of my standard processing. Now A7R's pixel shift looks interesting although in this comparison it's hard to say due to the crappy lens. As pointed out, it offers no advantage in IQ that is meaningful and everyone has great lenses in systems that are more advanced than this particular camera. 67% larger in area. With damn near equal image quality done deal. I'm waiting for Nikon to release their 20mm 1.8 and 85 1.8. I keep an eye on the Hasselblads but I'm also pretty well covered with the gear I currently have, ". FF gives you one stop advantage over APSC, a small difference and hardly worth it. Before I knew about DOF, I always preferred images with a certain look, and guess what. Despite its compact appearance, Fuji managed to cram a 3.69-million dot OLED EVF into the back of the camera, in addition to a large 3.2″ 2.36-million dot tilting touchscreen LCD. For making samples of such high end pro camera it would be better to hire pro landscape or studio photographer. GF23mmF4 R LM WR. Also, don't forget that all cameras work better when shooting beautiful young models. Maybe DPR sees what it wants to see. Often is background more revealing about the subject's thoughts and life than the subject alone. It's like asking why a mid size truck doesn't have a convertible roof. But camera / design and usability is a bit of shame at this price point. If I wanted to justify my purchase, I wouldn't go and buy an A7r3 five months after I bought GFX. If you compare sensor size differences..FF vs M4/3 = 4:1(300%)FF vs APS-C = 2.25:1(125%)MF vs FF = 1.68:1(68%)So indeed, the sensor size difference between MF(44x33) and FF is considerably smaller than that between FF and smaller sensors. They aren't lying when they say that once you go full frame, there's no going back. Once registered, this sets up a connection between your smart device and the camera. By the way, I admit this is extreme, but DPReview declares the 50R not ISO invariant at +6ev, so by that criteria the Z7 falls a bit short here. No, it isn't what you've made of it. Real medium format would justify the excursion into an alternative format. The quality of the tool is all that matters. By Vlad Savov @vladsavov Sep 26, 2018, 10:30am EDT Fujifilm GFX 50R. I am happy enough with the Z6 that I think I will stay with Nikon for now. Not doubting your knowledge. The year is 1982 and to document the expedition, the team decides to bring along five plastic Smena Symbol viewfinder cameras. Maybe the Z7 lens is a bit sharper at the edges? You like a worse starting point than you need? And if Nikon enables high resolution mode since they do have IBIS. Sure it doesn’t have a fast AF, but who cares if you don’t do sports. It won't cover my whole screen. @mferencz So you think Felts is trying to justify his GFX purchase? It's dynamic range great to demonstrate that FF has wide dynamic range. And this nonsense about sports photography. The reason this has been done is that there is no further SNR benefit to applying more amplification: you'd just be pushing more captured data to clipping without any benefit for doing so. As a owner of a Nikon d850 with the best glass and an owner of a gfx50 r the difference is huge visual and in post processing. I was disappointed by usability, it just a pain to use a GFX compared to any DSLR, maybe we can get used to it over time, but even when getting used to the camera , it's never going to be as comfortable as Canon/Nikon/Pentax full frame bodies. Perhaps this Fuji would be the better answer....just saying. ..". Yet I can't agree :(. I’ve got to say, i love it for street photography. MF light= FF image quality. Really can't see any difference between 50R and Z7 (FU Nikon, will not add the space between those characters). @Greg7579 I'm not really disagreeing with you, just trying to be un-biased. If I were doing an HDR shot, I would choose the 50r based on this. However, the camera's video performance is hindered by overheating issues. I am astonished how many of the "photographers" here spend hours trying to prove that the Fuji model xyz is no better than their xyz or is obscenely priced or the other drivel they spout. GFX Series FUJIFILM GFX 50R Digital Cameras Index Compare Overview Features Features 1.Style 2.Core 3.Image Quality 4.Mechanical 5.Operability 6.Functions 7.System Specifications Product Views Sample Images Accessories Support Colors:Black Additional Views Rangefinder style Compact and lightweight body Weather resistant structure 43.8×32.9mm 51.4MP CMOS medium format sensor X … Also, this is DPReview, where confirmation bias and justification rules. It does not balance well with some of the heavy GF lenses, and its overall ergonomics leave a lot to be desired (more on that below). If you are wondering if you need it, you most likely don't. ANd see if MF can overcome it. Is that enough to tempt you to pick one up for yourself? Dan - Fuji was smart, they chose 2 formats that don't overlap (APS-C/medium format). Just like medium format film cameras in the past, the FUJIFILM GFX 50R has been developed in pursuit of a compact and lightweight system while delivering the ultimate picture quality for everyday snapshots and street photography. Learn about GF63mmF2.8 R WR; GF110mmF2 R LM WR. The GFX 50R is a rangefinder style, which has been reborn through the history of medium format cameras. And, when used well, captivating, transcendent. What is this obsession with medium format and fast lenses? Fujifilm’s GFX 50R is the biggest and baddest street camera yet. @mac west I too had D850 before GFX 50S. I can buy a decent Mazda CX7 SUV for the price of a used 5-tonne truck. So for example - select a scene with very, very high DYNAMIC RANGE, range that is far beyond FF scale. @GoodKnight. I redid the screen shots where I turned off all noise reduction to see what the results were. Yep, hardly any difference - SMH, "These medium format sensors are barely larger than FF.". The GFX files are very different than the FF files and specially when post processing I can see real differences. Sure but you’ll have people who will say the GFX isn’t a worthwhile upgrade because it’s 1/2 to 2/3 stop improvement over full frame in one breath and the one stop improvement full frame gives you over APSC is totally worth it. Similar to other high-end APC-S and medium format cameras, the GFX 50R also has a durable magnesium alloy shell and it is both dust and weather-sealed – quite impressive for a “budget” medium format camera. As for the test, find some good Pentax 67 lens and mount it on a modern crop DSLR via the adapter, and the results will blow your socks off. This new idea that fast lenses=high IQ has go to go... Mac West, dismissing differences in opinion as hatred and stupidity is not the issue. From my perspective sunset flattens the range. What’s the best camera for around $2000? So, I definitely see GFX's advantage in situations where you need higher resolution. Take 6x9 film negative. According to Chris, not much. This is a 26''. This new model expands the potential for the GFX system and makes medium format output even more accessible. @Dan- I can assure you that potters do not hammer on about kilns and clay they way photographers do with camera gear. FYI I lowered sharpening as far down as I can go on both pics. These were some of our favorite titles from 2020. y better than 'really good may' not be as significant as 2y better than 'pretty good'. I am considering an upgrade from X-T20 or go for D810 or 6D II. Why would Fuji release a FF when there is very little image quality increase over APS-C? I don't mind spending money, but I need to get something tangible for it. APS-C and M43 body and lens size just keep seem to be growing to the point there isn't much space/size advantage against small full frame (Sony A7 III, Nikon Z6, Canon 6D II, EOS RP). How many of us spend more time reading and commenting on gear than actual photography? Just don't buy MF. The Fujifilm GFX 50R is the last medium format by Fuji to utilize the same 51 MP CMOS sensor that we have previously seen on a number of cameras, including the Fuji GFX 50S, Hasselblad X1D 50C / X1D II 50C and Pentax 645Z. This particular scene requires more highlight retention than the standard JPEG, so what's the correct response? Virtually ALL cameras deliver fantastic IQ these days, so only fanboys split those hairs. The daguerreotype was the first commercially viable photographic process when it was introduced to the world in 1839. Fuji isn't diffraction limitted at f/8. For those wondering about detail differences between 50MP MF and hi-res Nikon or Canon: Go the Fred Miranda site, check the pictures by Sculptormic at Medium Format Digital Images Thread to compare them any FF you know.. Read the review and there are lots of details about sharpness and things that can be seen on a screen, but none about print quality. by Robert K Baggs. MTF Services is selling already-converted lenses at the moment but plans to offer a conversion service for existing lenses next year. I consider my Mamiya beautiful and there's nothing of this camera that would be reminding that "medium format" feel. The GFX 50R's sensor is excellent but so are those of its full-frame peers. McFern, real hauling or real bricks, for hours, and days. In this article, Jordan reviews the winners and provides more detail on why they were selected. "we can't really recommend using the camera in continuous autofocus, as the hunting can be very distracting. Not talking about Hasselblad H6D or Phase One here. "m43 people") should not care or be interested in another camera format. Fast lenses are for low light, primarily. The G-Sensor is not even close to being a true MF sensor. By the time this sensor will be affordable there will be new FF sensor available that again extend to what Fujifilm offers. Now with MF, there is: Fuji, Hasselblad, Leica, Pentax, Phase One. Because medium format has its uses and it is not a do-all camera. And fuzzy video. Try it for yourself if you don't believe me - just look at the trees in the foreground ;). And before someone talks about lens quality, I used D850 with six lenses but let me mention just two: 200mm F2 VRII and 105mm F1.4. While moving up from an APS-C camera to medium format represents a drastic difference in image quality, the difference is much smaller when moving from full-frame to crop-sensor medium format. If you had merely said that you believe the camera is a market mistake by Fuji, fair enough, but you just *had* to make it personal by saying that @felts wasted their money. That's something people who haven't used these cameras don't get to come to realize. Decisions, decisions... RX100 can do all too. I considered Fujifilm because of their skin tones. But that's because my brother owns Vulcan. count the SCUS. Similar to the GFX 50S, its video features are also very limited (only full HD). We've set the Fujifilm to F10 and the Nikon to F8, meaning both are shooting with a roughly 4.5mm aperture diameter, giving the same depth-of-field. https://www.dpreview.com/galleries/2418320136/photos/3864513/z7-nx-d-no-nr-copy. Take a look at the below illustration to compares sizes of different sensors: Unlike APS-C and full-frame, medium format does not strictly define one particular sensor size. It is. ;-). I've tried a GFX50R (rental), and it left me with mixed feelings. I processed as I usually do and lifted the exposure by one stop, again as I usually do. Looking for the buyers remorse threads, and can't seem to find them. https://www.dpreview.com/galleries/2418320136/photos/3864460/50r-capture-one-no-nr-copy. So considering a 5-6 year old sensor, this still keeps up well. I'd get my GFX-50R body at Adorama, at Amazon, or at B&H (or used at eBay) or get it as part of a kit or with a lens at Adorama, at Amazon or a… OTOH, sadly DPR has a bit of a history here, and have done themselves few favors proving they have no biases. You need fast af because you are in a hurry. A lot of money. For me the most beautiful camera of all times was the panasonic lumix dmc-lc1. You seem to be suggesting that people who use one camera format (i.e. It is rather typical for them to release a slightly altered body at an attractive price built around an outdated sensor. It can do much more than that. A humble, simple-to-use unit, it proves to be the perfect companion for the trip. You made a mistake. Richard, I have used that example because I have seen it hapenning. Just don't tell me Canon EOS R (5DMk4) against PhaseOne... What sort of processing? I had 2 of them. And this is where they need to pause and think about the consequences of going medium format. With 645 film they fujifilm gfx 50r pret a significant IQ benefit as the lenses that are and.
