All your “out of focus” shots have so much character, I think even for clients, unless you are selling an ad campaign for a sunglasses company, the work looks absolutely professional. For fashion editorials all those pictures are more than perfect.

Cam, really, really appreciate this. Have a Mamiya 645 and most of the lenses you show in the video, and have been wondering how those would work in a GFX body... it's such a "niche" thing that I thought nobody would make a video about it, but you did! Thanks!

I love the merging of old and new tech. It feels really good. I’ve been using vintage glass almost exclusively on my Sony for a couple years now and am not looking back. I think the idea for me is there are some things we already got right. Old glass from the 60s and 70s is just something special that we got right. And in the name of perfection or something we have engineered out all the beautiful character, most contemporary glass is just kinda boring and bland from a creative and artistic standpoint. Love to see this stuff! Beautiful photographs!

I watched all your GFX 50R videos before I took the plunge on one 2 months ago...I LOVE that camera and totally understand why you look back at those shoots so fondly! The color and dynamic range is insane, and the shooting experience is so satisfying! Glad you picked up the 50S II and just wanted to say thanks for inspiring me to pick up a GFX 50!

I love the Mamiya 645 Sekor C lenses on GFX. I went crazy during covid and bought soooo many from Japan, in excellent condition. Not the same amount of resolution and perfection as modern GF lenses, but so much character and still excellent quality glass. The 120mm f/4 macro is excellent though, I think the best out of all the ones I have in terms of resolution.

So I talked myself into getting the GFX 50Sii (yes, I'm bummed its not phase detect but another $5k will will get there with the new one). Initially I got the Mitakon 65 and the Mamiya 100 2.8 and I couldn't be happier. I wish Mitakon would make a 120 or or 150 that's as good as the 65mm 1.4. So after watching this video again , I went on ebay and ordered the Mamiya 150 3.5 (they make a 2.8 at 3x the cost) and the 210 4.0. Also cheat code for using focus peaking: use the bright red and set a B&W profile (easier to see) Then you can change it to whatever you want in post, assuming you shoot raw. Still have to nail my color grade, my initial test were just checking out vintage glass both MF and FF. So @Cam , if your offer to do a GFX color grading video still holds, I would certainly watch and give you a thumbs up ! Love the videos, keep on creating my friend !

Cool images, love the look from the vintage glass. I have two I use on my XT-3. One is a Pentax 50mm f1.7, the other is a Canon FD 135mm f3.5. I used the 135 to shoot my nephew's T Ball game. It was fun getting the focus down. I kind of used the zone focus idea and got some really nice shots. I totally laughed when you commented about how after a while you felt like your eyes were shot. I have that same problem. My eyes suck. So, after a while it's sometimes hard to tell when you hit focus. Love this video. The outfits were so cool as well as their colors. She was a really fun model too. I wish more models felt it was ok to smile! Have a great week!

Have shot those len's on a 50r for a few years now mostly for wedding portrait work.... Awesome glass.. One thing I have found that helps a me a ton with the focus peaking is put the screen/in a black and white film sim mode... (your shooting raw saw you still have the raw file to work with post) The focus peaking typically blue or red high... seems to pop off the b/w fv better and its more visiable when creating the shots... the peaking color does not get lost in the rest of the color so much using that tool in the toolbox :) Great shots !

Loved the vid! The helios 44-2 58mm F2 will blow your mind with how well it adapts to GFX. Also, Kipon makes a focal reducer for Mamiya 645 glass to RF. I would love to see you do this same vid with the R5C and that full frame-to-medium format focal reducer! Technically the focal reducer on the R5 (.71x) would give you a wider field of view than any of the fuji sensors (.79x).
