SPB

Small and very light is coming in November in Switzerland GF 35-70. Albeit with no aperture ring, so I have to see if that feels good in my hand and performs as well as the 30mm. If so I shall be buying the zoom.

Great review, very interesting and thoughtful.

Thank you for this link! Never seen yellow or red on a cable before.

Interesting I was expecting a drive icon to appear on Desktop for camera. Nothing, but opening the Mac app Image Capture, allows the downloads and recognises both cameras and allows me to download to Mac to a folder named after the camera. So now I bet all my cables work! Learn something new every day!

Neither 100S or 50R, will transfer images with any of my cables. They both transfer the camera settings with all cables! Strange. I only find this out after many happy months of GFX ownership because I always remove card to download through a reader!

Interesting reply thank you. I wasn't aware of the blue/white so checked my cables one of the is black inside the USB-A end which I have used to transfer images from 50R to Mac. I always have SD-Card out and into a reader so I never checked my cables. However I just loaded Fujifilm Acquire and Backed up the 50 Settings to desktop. So I know the cable works but I cannot get it to download the image files. Using the cable with blue on the USB-A end.

I would hazard a guess that the X-T4 that you all have received is made no longer in Japan, hence the lower quality. The one I picked up was made in China, and it felt nothing like a Japanese made Fujifilm camera! I have also owned the X-Pro3, X-T3 and X100F before I went GFX. If I was to buy back into the X camera line I would only buy a Japanese made camera. I thinks in this case it matters where it is made and quality control. I hope this is not a sign of things to come, up to now I have had zero issues and thought the quality of Fujifilm is high.

Oh yes I would like that. a 100R with IBIS, a tad smaller than the 50R, NO PASM, only physical dials - great companion to a 100S.

So I guess this means on my GFX 50R the 50mm is Contrast only and on my 100S it can use both.

Solved: "The format menu can also be displayed by pressing the centre of the rear command dial while pressing and holding the trash button." . there must be files on the cards I think for this to work.

On my 100S when I use the Menu button and say change a shooting setting, go back to take some images and press the menu button again, I return to the last used menu option. Does this work for the GFX 50R????

I would add that if you only have one lens like the 50mm which I do have as well as some others - the 50R is great for some cropping of any image. Not as much naturally as the 100S, but that is expected. I will second what jlmphotos says about differences between FF and MF.

Have you seen also the Ars-Imago Lab box? Developing film with NO darkroom! I have not bought one yet but that is very tempting. Ars Imago Lab box

The Godox triggers work with all the Fuji cameras that I have had X-Pro/X-T and GFX including GFX 50R. No problem.

You will not be disappointed with either of these lenses I can assure you of that!

It seems all other lenses have been updated to accept Phase Detection AF EXCEPT for the FUJINON GF50mmF3.5 R LM WR. I presume from this that this lens is not this enabled? Or am I making a wrong assumption?

This is a consistent issue I have also. There are options in the menu to switch slots. I do that and then it happens again. I think it may be my fault. I always remove card one from the camera to a reader. Sometimes I may switch the camera on and my Nr 1 card is still in my reader, then the camera thinks oh no nr 1, I revert to slot 2. Then I put back the card into slot 1, but the focus is still on slot 2. It is annoying sometimes, but was consistent on all Fuji cameras I have owned with 2 slots.

Herco, Thanks "When you want to see the pure RAW image in Capture One you should select LINEAR as a curve, You can default this in the import dialogue" - I was not aware of that! Thank you for a useful tip.

The big advantage on the Fuji is the screen can be hidden or if you prefer 'protected', but at least one has the screen when one is convenient. A screen-less digital camera? No thanks. A digital camera without an EVF or OVF AND a screen - no thanks. Give me both anytime.

I believe X-T4 is made in China. The one I picked up at a demo day was, and it felt cheap and looked not good in comparison to the XT-3 definitely not Japanese quality. I did not buy instead at that time I bought a XPRO-3.
