Video

Your friend was trying to tell you politely stop obsessing over the equipment. Sorry but these images are extremely mundane, start looking at the world, not the pixels.

👏🙌Eres un genio!!!

Leider eine recht sperrige und kosten intensive Anlage, habe aber mehrere RZ Objektive per Hartblei Adapter, leider nicht günstig, im gelegentlichen Einsatz. Würde mir lieber dafürhalten Fujinon 25-30mm kaufen, leider auch recht teuer.

R U Serious, this is Gem of the video. thanks for making such great content. MAESTRO

I'm curious if you have a good alternative recommendation to that hard-to-find lens? Its on ebay right now for 7-8k, but that is hard to justify.

I just bought this lens and th GFX50s for 2000 dollars. What a camera. I am so happy and will be leaving the X mount all together. This is all I need for now.

Your website isn't working.

Very interesting and helping video, thanks for that. I plan to buy the GF 80 f/1,7. Would it have a sense to use this lens with the tubes for macro ? or the GF 110 is a better solution ? Thank You.

Thank you for these comparisons. Very instructive. 👍

Awesome idea... they'll never do it even though it so simple

Great! waht is that tuner?

Hello Christofer. I want to ask your opinion, do you think a move from 45mp FF to GFX 100s for architecture/int. design is a good move? I mean I know it' s ~stop more in DD and more mp, but probably my clients will not notice the difference. What is your opinion on that?

Welcome to the world of photography. C1 enables one to take better control of the the broad spectrum of you RAW image ranges, but LR is more user friendly (my opinion) and with certain techniques, one can, in the end, achieve the same results.

Does Capture One still have this problem? I'm just starting to get into photography and not sure what program to learn.

Imagine a pair of glasses that did that.

is it dumb to do panoramas of interiors? (with a parallax tripod adapter (or what's it called)) , without a tilt shift lens? or is it a waste of time? I m kind of sick of all the renders looking like they were made with a 80mm lens with a 20mm field of view.. and the pictures look, well like 23mm looks on a gfx sensor. ( i don't care about the advantages of resolution, not yet at least :) just as a look. )

Thank you for the video Christopher. I am very interested in the shift lens. To be used in my coming GFX100 ii. Question: did you purchase your Mamiya lenses from Japan, on eBay? Or elsewhere? I tend to buy mostly from Japan, as I get cleaner lenses in better condition.

What a sausage!

Das ist ja ein gefummel mit den vielen Adaptern und sehr teuer noch dazu.

The result is really underwhelming. I expected more sharpness for a 400MP Image with Focus stack.

have a vitorex. happy

You have however pretty much swung me over to fuji as its been my top three digital systems Ive been following for some time …any advice would be most appreciated thanks. ( from UK)

I have been following at least a dozen photographers on utube for a few years and wished I had come across your website sooner…afternoon years I now want to get out and buy some gear, but am poor and desperately want to get into pano/architectural genre ….BEING AN OLD PENTAX LOVER AND OLYMPUS 35MM should I start there again or just get straight into medium format and take time to learn of course the post production software not to mention the expensive computer accessories !? I hope you dont find my question silly….I tend to over analyse things and just cannot decide what to buy having binge-watched too many videos/vloggs

Christen-her you are a genius at your craft/work …mesmerising ,unique and super inspiring🎶🌈 thank you.

one observation, isn't tilting to the ceiling technically a "reverse_ schiemflug" meaning that the tilt creates a minature effect, like looking from a high bridge onto a buisy street below, and ONLY tilting Downwards affects focus, ONLY not image proportions.

one adaptor you missed, the one from Sinar LF monorail cameras to fuji GFX an adaptor board which fits onto the standard, in place of the ground glass, this makes a fully featured f2 or P2 system available to the fuji, making it a macro camera, plus fully capable movements, as if you were using sheet film.

Loving you for "chemical cameras".

You could do a panorama for each set of exposures and then do a HDR? Or create HDRs and then combine the outcome into panorama? Manual (though can be scripted easily). Does Lightroom do the "scripting" internally? Or is the panorama creation HDR aware? It could deal with the overlaps differently - though that would be very complex.

E stands for Electronic aperture as you already found out.

gf120+ canon 500D close up 72mm lens.

... very nice video, very informative ! I have got a question : how would you evaluate this GF50 lens when speed of auto-focus is concerned? I have watched a ton of videos here on CZcams, and some say, that it is somehow slow or slower ... compared to other GF lenses (auto-focus speed average), like in the slower area of all the lenses from Fujifilm available, where (not my own experience), the GF80 is extremely slow here and GF 45-100 is pretty fast. What do YOU think about it?

Why not the Fuji 120 macro??

Fuji HFD 100 has pixel shift 400 megs

Enjoyable video and explanation. As you know a lot about lenses I’m curious to pick your brain. I have the GFX 100s as well. I’d really like to have a 35mm focal length prime lens for the GFX (because I like the look of 28mm on full frame). Would be great to have tilt/shift and low barrel distortion. Any suggestions from you? Even if nothing T/S comes to mind, what would be your top recommendations?

Never seen a pro sharing his/her knowledge in such depth. Your channel is well deserved to recommend serious photographer around the world.

Diese ganze Prozedur würde mich in den Wahnsinn treiben - ganz zu schweigen von dem enormen Gewicht, das man mit herumschleppen müßte. Nein danke!

Yes You are correct , Photo is having fun . I will try your suggestion . Thank you to make me having Fun , I will take time to have it all and this is the deal .

I have a desire to buy this brand in the future,I think it will be nice for street photography.

You are mad, brilliant, but utterly mad. (That was meant as a compliment)

I tried the aperture thing but all my E lenses just come off the camera with their aperture at f32 etc.

I have several notes but the main one is that when you did the shifting, you moved the lens instead of the camera body thus creating a small change in your lens position for each of the 9 frames meant to be stitched. Of course the software would have problems with that because you, as the user, created small differences in the stitching points for each shot. I’ve watched some of your other videos and you typically move the camera body which is the proper way to stitch. This is why if you stitch images with cameras such as the Alpa field cameras you always move the back and not the lens. I feel like this was a pretty unscientific and lazy video on your part and not particularly helpful for people who don’t know what I’m talking about.

Christopher, you have me believing I wasted my money buying RRS panning clamps and nodal slides for doing panos. Is it a waste of time using such gear to eliminate parallax and the like?

This video proves how ignorant people are. How can this have less than a thousand views when it is so extraordinarily valuable?

Use the Fuji app on your phone and get a decent phone like the Samsung Fold with proper screen real estate

Thinking of getting this adapted for my Fuji GFX SII. Are there any issues with vignetting?

I watched an astrophotography video recently where the guy (Cuiv the lazy guy) pointed out the torque exerted by his autofocus rig onto the lens mount could affect lens alignment due to the single point of rotation. It’s an interesting observation I never thought about but it makes sense. I suppose the ideal follow focus would utilise a planetary gear train in order to better counter this. Thanks for sharing this !

Excellent as usual , but for me prefer the easiest , That is Fuji the result are close and my time worth more .

Thank you so much Christopher - really much and deep knowledge you share with us! I wonder if you ever stich and use flash or available light only..... Z9 and 19 is excellent combo - what would you use for more wide angle without too much distortion? Not sure, got the GFX 100 and wait for a TS Fuji lens since years....
