    Fun with MF images - ARCHIVED - FOR VIEWING ONLY

    By the way Ed, one of the strengths of this lens is that it actually takes screw on filters. 86mm but I have some 95s from my Phase One days that I just step down to 86. It works well for a single filter but if I stack two it does vignette a bit.

    Fun with MF images - ARCHIVED - FOR VIEWING ONLY

    I used to own that lens with a D810. The Nikon has a lot more linear distortion as that is it's weak point and the strength of pretty much all of the Laowa lenses. The 14-24 is probably a little bit sharper deep though into the corners.

    Fun with MF images - ARCHIVED - FOR VIEWING ONLY

    I don't think that would be possible, at least not without some very complex optics as the flange distance on the 645 is dramatically longer than on the GFX. It's easy adapt from a long flange distance to a short one as the adapter just makes up the difference but going the other way is not at...

    Fun with MF images - ARCHIVED - FOR VIEWING ONLY

    The center is very good and there's a little falloff into the corners but it's better than I expected and better than the 12mm f/2.8 coupled with the Laowa Medium Format converter - that combo has essentially the same optical formula but by eliminating the mount between converter and lens, the...

    My first photo with the widest lens available for the 44x33 medium format sensor size, the Venus Optics Laowa 17mm f/4 (~13.5mm in 35mm full frame terms). This was taken this morning at Yaki Point in Grand Canyon National Park... GFX 50S, 17mm, ISO 100, f/8, 4s

    Laowa 17mm for the GFX review

    Somebody posted a comparison shot and his impressions regarding that on the FB GFX Owners page. His conclusion, the Canon is slightly sharper in the center and the Laowa is significantly sharper as you get towards the edges. That said, the edge sharpness of the Laowa until you get to f/8 isn't...

    the new version of fuji cameras gfx/r 50 II

    Since there is no 50mp sensor other than the one already in use and such a sensor is not on anybody's roadmap, it's unlikely to see something like that. You would need a sensor that has phase detect AF on it, drastically faster read-out capability, 16 bit output channel and A/D converters, etc...

    GFX 100 First Reactions

    He was talking about lens FW which wouldn't have applied to your situation on a tech camera anyway.

    If the upload to GetDPI is greater than 930KB, it automatically compresses it to about 1/3 of that and it looks awful when it does that. The threshold for GetDPI induced compression is 930KB, below that it doesn't touch the file.

    At least it's only the second most common fishing village shot from Lofoten behind the shot of Hamnoy off of the bridge ;) Always a beautiful scene though :)

    Another shot from my evening shoot in Arizona's Kofa Mountains... GFX-50R, 23mm, ISO 100, f/11, 1/30s (focus stacked) - I chose f/11 even though I was focus stacking to make sure that I captured the entire DOF of the foreground flower bush in a single frame due to a light breeze making it easier...

    Venus Optics Laowa makes what they call the Magic Format converter which is essentially a 1.4x teleconverter that expands the image circle from 35mm format to 44x33 format. For about 99% of all Canon and Nikon mount lenses, it allows them to cover the full sensor. In case of the Irix 11mm...
