mikeodial Posted January 19, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Got notification this am that the Fuji has just been released at the above price. However the real news is the price of the lenses, if they are as good as predicted. Primes starting below $2k! https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/items/ci/34375/N/3574321278?utm_medium=Email%201636092&utm_campaign=NewAnnouncement&utm_source=FujiFilm+Leica%20170118&utm_content=Retail&utm_term=fujifilm-gfx-mfs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmx_2 Posted January 20, 2017 Share #4 Posted January 20, 2017 I'm just curious to how good the EVF is... +1 here. I've played a bit with the X1D and the EVF was not very good in my opinion. On the other hand, I think we all are quite spoiled by the incredible OVF in the Leica S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted February 1, 2017 Share #12 Posted February 1, 2017 OK, this is getting very interesting. Fuji GFX adapters for Leica M, Otus http://www.fujirumors.com/first-images-fujifilm-gfx-adapters-leica-m-zeiss-otus-mamiya-schneider-kreuznach-focal-plane-shutter-advantage/ Cameras being ugly is one thing. Functionality is another and this certainly makes it interesting. 85mm f1.4 Otus on Medium Format is very, VERY interesting. Welcome, dear visitor!

Paul J Posted February 1, 2017 Share #13 Posted February 1, 2017 With this Summilux more vignetting but still very interesting. Welcome, dear visitor!

The ultimate tilt/shift option. The ugly Fuji punim is looking a bit less so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted February 2, 2017 Share #17 Posted February 2, 2017 This Fuji is really starting to make more sense to me for what I need. With Otus lenses you get a 35mm equivalent of: Otus 28 - 21mm f1.1 Otus 55 - 43mm f1.1 Otus 85 - 67mm f1.1 Effectively a short tele, standard and wide Noctilux like lens. The 55 and 28 will need some cropping from vignetting but not much. I am really excited by this because it's everything I have been looking for, for a very long time. on top of that the Noctilux can be used on it too and I'm excited to see how that translates. Then having a system of AF lenses at hand for when it suits is brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georges Posted February 2, 2017 Share #18 Posted February 2, 2017 A Leica S adapter will certainly put a cat amongst the pigeons. Why would you want that? In order to have AF issues with the Fuji? LOL The Otus use is an interesting twist of history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiaubauu2009 Posted February 2, 2017 Share #20 Posted February 2, 2017 Otus image circle is not large enough for the 44x33 sensor. The 28 will have huge vignette. 55 is kind of ok. 85 is perfect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
