Hello:

Does anyone have a download link for the Gfx100rf user manual?   I’d like to get a head start on learning this camera while on backorder.

I cannot find it anywhere either so it seems like a case of patience while we wait.

OK I guess I will need to be patient. I did download the manual for the closest spec detachable lens version of 100mp sensor camera but there are quite a few operational differences.  I didn’t want to even bother attempting that manual!

For this issue, YouTube has started to become my best friend, through repetitious watching of some specific movie files.  
 

I appreciate your reply.

Fantastic thanks for the link!  Now I need to start reading up on this great camera.  Hope my backorder fills soon.  Ordered the day after my dealer started taking orders so hopefully there are not 500,00 orders ahead of me!  

Also am a bit concerned that my US-based dealer will jack the price because of impending tariffs.  IF yes, my backorder will be a distant memory because I will not pay a cent more than advertised when I placed my order.  Emailed my vendor and they were ambiguous in their reply.   I don't know their policy on price fluctuations for backordered products.

somewhat jealous but DO enjoy your new machine!    I just checked with my retailer here in the States and I'm still on backorder with no other updates.   Our dealer initially thought deliveries should start by the end of April.  Guess I'll have time to read up on the new RF.

I have two niggles. The On/Off switch is very easily put on when camera is put in or out of a bag. The other small niggle is the front cover that clips onto the hood, is similarly easily no longer solidly on, when put into a bag and the sides of the bag touch it!

Apart from those minor irritations, very happy with my choice.

Still looks like a great camera but unfortunately I had to cancel my backorder.

I have slight tremors, not Parkinson’s. Did some testing at 60th of a second at F4 on an A7cr with a 25mm prime mounted. With image stabilization turned off on the cr, the files are mush when viewed at 200%.  With stabilization turned on I can shoot my Sony camera easily add a 15th of a second and the images are tack sharp at the same magnification.

I can’t justify spending $5000 on a camera only  to have some of its capabilities unusable because of that lack of a beneficial feature. 

I hope you enjoy your new machine!

Sorry to hear about that, yes I like the RF very much, the two niggles aside, haven’t taken any images under 1/60th yet, but I like the way it handles, going to be a keeper for sure. I also have a Nikon Z6III with lenses up to 300mm.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
