Is the GFX an all-rounder?

April 5, 2017 JimK 3 Comments

From the mailbag: Been reading your experiments with the Fuji with fascination. I’ve been looking for a camera to supplement my Leica Q.

Fuji GFX EFCS and electronic shutter effect on bokeh

April 4, 2017 JimK 6 Comments

This is the 26th in a series of posts on the Fujifilm GFX-50S. The series starts here.

April 3, 2017 JimK Leave a Comment

This is the 23nd in a series of posts on the Fujifilm GFX-50S. The series starts here. Yesterday, we looked at how the Hasselblad 50-100 mm f/3.5-4.5 zoom do when set to 80 mm.
