Neck strap for Fuji GFX50s


Recommended Posts

For every good shot of course there were several duds, but I am overall pleased with what I have, many fond memories. The greyhounds were rescue dogs seen at a home in Jersey. They were so friendly and easy to handle.

We have a dog track not far from my location, and the greyhounds rescued from the track—in my experience—have been the most friendly and gentle animals.  Takes them awhile to become acclimated to not living in a cage, but they adjust and seem grateful for a chance live a good life.  They make good photographic subjects.

Yes I agree with that. The ones I saw were boisterous when a visitor came but 15 mins later as docile as can be and laid out resting....... lovely animals and so friendly looking. I hate the way some of the them are treated.

Arrived a few mins ago, perfect fit! At last my screen is protected.

Hi Stephan,

Thank you for the photo of the LCD protector.  Does it interfere with the touch screen function of the LCD?

Here are two photos of the Fotostrap for the GFX.  You will notice the Billingham 435 case behind the camera:

Looks good! I don't actually use the touch screen function! But I just now tested it, working perfectly. I hate touch screens normally because of finger marks. However MAS screens seem to have a knack of not collecting finger or any other marks that are not a simple wipe away with a soft dry cloth.

 

Does the strap at the connection point have any spare space or is it a tight fit? It has a nice piece of padding which is important with leather.

Hi Stephan,

I will look into the screen protector.

As for the strap, there is just enough space at the insertion point for the strap to be smoothly slipped through.  Otherwise, there is no extra space and it is a perfect fit for the camera.  It does not tend to get all twisted in the case, as was the situation with the Fuji nylon strap.  And the shoulder pad is fairly wide and comfortable.  It isn't cheap, but I'm happy with it.

Hi Stephan,

I just came across a dual NP-T125 charger for the GFX-50s.  Thought you might be interested:

Good heavens I knew someone somewhere would produce this! I have two of the official chargers now .......... But thanks for pointing this out, it should come with the camera at the price.

I agree.  The dual charger sells for almost half of the price of the single device supplied with the camera.  But my guess is that the camera manufacturers make their profit from selling the accessories, rather than the initial camera purchase.  I ordered one of the dual chargers and will let you know how it works once it arrives.

'Pimp one's camera' so to speak! At half the price of one offical one, it would be fantastic to be 'in the box' of the camera. I would view it as a big plus, but no doubt Fuji or any other manufacturer views it as a 'step-too-far'. After camera-sale chargers don't have a great reputation other than being cheap, but they usually come with a free car adaptor too, which is another thing that a camera user finds convenient - if only the camera manufacturer would give up this wholly oldfashioned view that a camera user does not want convenience!

 

A dual fast charger should be in the box. It makes life a lot easier juggling multi batteries.

Hi Stephan,

Today is the first time that I've had an opportunity to try the dual charger.  It has a high and low charge setting that relates to the speed of charge.  While I've only tried it with one depleted batter, wit the High setting the charge has risen to 90% in 20 minutes—that's really fast. I suspect that it will be slower with two batteries attached, however.

 

I also received my second Jill-E Jack Messenger bag this afternoon and thought you might like to see how it works with the GFX.  I have the camera sitting nose down in the bag with the 120mm OSS attached, and, believe it or not, there is still room for at least another 6 or so lenses and accessories.  The lenses can sit on either side of the camera in two tiers, left and right.  The strap you'll see attached is not the one that comes with the bag but, rather, a Porta Brace strap that I had in the closet, and it is available as an accessory from Porta Brace. It is heavily padded suede.

On first glance, the bag does appear large, however, the illusion is due to its height.  It is only sightly higher than the Billingham 445, and yet it is narrower and less weighty.  Its design allows for the use of any aftermarket carrying strap, which, IMO, is a better solution than those with sewn in straps. And, it falls flat against the body and does not move around, making it a snap to remove items from within and replace them without a struggle.  But, I agree, I would not want to fill the bag, however, the option remains if necessary. That said, considering the much more costly and less functional alternatives, price-wise, nothing even comes close.  And it is supplied with all the inserts/dividers one could ever require.

 

The strap was taken from a Porta Brace video camera case, and the thick, suede pad is the most comfortable I've found, since it is designed for bags that carry considerably more weight.

Ok I have my Tap and Dye Legacy wide Hasselblad strap for my GFX. With this strap I realized that I had to fit the clip locks 50% or so then attach the strap and then push the clip locks fully into place. Once I proceeded like that no problem.

 

The strap was packed beautifully, is of excellent build quality and materials.

I use the Op/Tech Dual Harness, which is modestly priced and easily enables me to carry two camera, one of them a large Medium Format analogue camera, for hours without discomfort.

I review the harness as used with the Pentacon Six here: http://pentaconsix.com/p6straps.htm

I have now added the Op/Tech straps to my GFX 50S, threading the straps through the clips that are supplied with the camera, and this works very well.

The Op/Tech Super Pro B connectors look very similar to the strap holders that come with the camera, but perhaps a few millimetres narrower, but I have not yet tested their fit on the GFX 50S.  The connectors are reviewed here: http://pentaconsix.com/probcon.htm  You may wish to try the connectors in a shop (once we are allowed to go back into shops!) before buying them, but the original Fuji connectors work fine with the Op/Tech webbed straps, even though the slot is a little wider than needed for the Op/Tech straps.

    • Hello dear Fujifolks - I come from 54 years of shooting Nikon cameras, and this is my first Fujifilm experience as I've just sold my Nikon D7200 in exchange for a tiny but endearing X-T20. Very pleased with it as it's so lightweight, but very well built. But takes some getting used to the menus and settings after Nikon's DSLR functional simplicity ! I'm working on it though and slowly coming to terms with the new system. My question for now is this: is there any way to turn OFF the wifi antenna in the camera ? I'm particularly wifi signal sensitive and have no intention of using that function as I do all my editing and printing on my PC. I've checked the wifi menu options but cannot find a simple wifi ON-OFF selector. Thanks for your help and I'll be back with more Q's when needed. Blessings to you all... 
    • Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!
    • Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.
    • Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04
