Olaf_ZG Posted March 21 Share #101 Posted March 21 Advertisement (gone after registration) I like what Fuji did. I used to have the 50r, and this is a great successor. Having now a Q, I would not change. But, if I have today make a decision, it would be tough. I do like certain things from fuji: their panoramic formats, their jpg color abilities f.e. A second hand xpan will set you back 4500 euro. For some more, the fuji could be yours. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 21 Posted March 21 Hi Olaf_ZG, Take a look here Leica Q3 or Fujifilm GFX 100RF. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Nothing to do with the GFX100RF... Much wisdom in this. Unless you’re buying a tool for a job, the only reason to buy any kit that actually matters is that you enjoy it and it makes you want to create. The specs, the badge and the price point are ultimately irrelevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God someone said that. because if we look just at plain spec sheet, 5k no ibis MF 100mp camera with f4.0 lens is just crazy stupid. people who said that Leica q3 was overpriced are now in bad spot, as Q3 on comparison is just more versatile 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bingboong Posted March 22 Share #105 Posted March 22 Do you choose Leica Q3 or the new release Fujifilm GFX 100RF? https://cameradecision.com/compare/Fujifilm-GFX-100RF-vs-Leica-Q3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of Q3 photos are dull too without some work, I know because I have one. it's the nature of digital, but those focus/out of focus transitions... are ok on my 90 grams Panny 20mm 1.7 (which I love), not on a lens that is supposed to make shine such a sensor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my monochrom, but my Panny GX1 took me to places of my mind that, yes, I can re-visit with my Leicas, but only because I've already been there.

Chris W Posted March 22 Share #109 Posted March 22 I honestly find the Fuji underwhelming. I would probably go with the Q3 43 personally. I am not a fan of 28mm lenses. Also, I own a Hasselblad X1D2 which is very portable and ergonomic to use. The cheapest X Series lens is the 45p, a 35mm equivalent at f4 and I found it OK but too slow for dim light.

FrozenInTime Posted March 22 Share #110 Posted March 22 Still would choose the X100VI over the GFX100RF, but that is a bias towards compactness and IBIS for low light - over large print image quality for images taken in ideal conditions. The Q3-43 would be top pick if I was forced to abandon the M system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M11 for me Posted March 22 Share #111 Posted March 22 When you need a fast lens plus OIS and still a very high resolving sensor then take Q2 28mm If you need very high resolution in the first place and the speed of the lens is less important nor is OIS or IBIS then go to Fuji. I did not go into very deep research yet but I inagine that the Q is the more versatile product. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simone_DF Posted March 22 Share #112 Posted March 22 That entirely depends on your needs, both cameras are excellent, but I'd definitely pick a Leica Q3 for myself, because I find the larger aperture and OIS more useful. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzajl Posted March 22 Share #113 Posted March 22 Being the oddball, naturally, for a daily carry all in one camera I’d want the original Q or the X100T. The look of the files from that era just suit me more. Or perhaps the D-Lux 8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbyshire Man Posted March 22 Share #114 Posted March 22 I suspect that if I felt I really needed MF (which with 60MP on the M11P/D/M that I have I don't) then I'd save some more and get the Blad. Vs Q2/3? I've got rid of my Q2M as I went M11M instead and if I'm in the mood for something with AF etc I'm going out with the R5M2 if action based and X100VI if low key/stealth/feel based. For me there's a balance between photographic utility and size/weight. There will be people however that this really suits. There's a youtube video of Blad vs M11 vs Sony and to be honest, no one is really going to criticise the output of any of them and 99% of people unable to tell the difference on blind testing of a single printed image at the same aspect ratio.

Well they are all using the same sensor (and the Fuji) and all have great optics available, so it’s really about which package feels right to you. In the end, if you can’t get shots you like with any modern camera system, it’s not because of the kit you’re using. We are totally spoiled by the options available at all price points and it’s fabulous. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are very much spoiled for choice with modern day cameras, failure to get a sharp, well exposed image is more likely going to be down to the soft mushy bit of tissue a few inches behind the viewfinder not the camera.

The version in the GFX and Hasselblad cameras is just a larger slice of chip. The construction and pixel density are equal. When Sony make and supply such great tech, there’s little point in the smaller companies trying to match it on their own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly there is the lens, then there is the way the software handles the sensor. The Hasselblad is noted for it's amazing colour. Between the Hassy X system (which I own) and this Fuji, I would definitely choose the Hassy. It's just as ergonomic and the colours are fabulous. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
