A Look at the Fujifilm GFX100 II Medium Format Mirrorless Camera and GF 55mm f/1.7R WR Lens

The Fujifilm GFX100 II is one of the most respected cameras on the market, offering medium format image quality in tandem with advanced, modern features at a very competitive price. When paired with the GF 55mm f/1.7R WR lens, it makes for a formidable combo that can tackle a wide range of scenarios and produce jaw-dropping photos. This great video review takes a look at the camera and lens and what you can accomplish with them. 

Coming to you from bigheadtaco, this excellent video review takes a look at the Fujifilm GFX100 II medium format mirrorless camera and GF 55mm f/1.7R WR lens. The GFX100 II continues to be respected as one of the most capable cameras available today, but the GF 55mm f/1.7 should not be overlooked either. It features an unusually large maximum aperture for a medium format lens, and comes it at under two pounds and around four inches, making it rather compact as well. Add in 11 diaphragm blades for extra-smooth bokeh, 14 elements in 10 groups for improved image quality, and weather-resistant construction for working in inclement conditions. Altogether, the pairs looks quite impressive for anyone who wants top-quality shots. Check out the video above for the full rundown.

Nice review, thank you. Where is the tilt shift lens? One wonders; it was supposed to be out in the Fall and now in the first quarter of 2024 it's still missing in action. I sure wish Fuji would get that out for us.

The GF30/5.6 T/S is readily available in Europe, delivery time 1-3 days. And people have been working with it for a long time ...

I have not bought a GFX series camera, still using X series, but worried about the regular YT reviews comparing the colour science of the GFX unfavourably with the Hasselblad X2D. Anyone here used both ?
