Fujifilm GFX REVENGE: Medium Format Look - GFX vs. Sony A7IV & 50/1.2

sony 14bit color no good

What you should do is a scientific comparison with equivalent native lenses. Not an adapted 35mm lens. Or at least use the same lens on the Sony. Surely?

The skin tones of the Fuji just look so pleasing when next to Sony.

Clean the damn focus ring! You guys are dirty

engga mencoba untuk di zoom secara maksimal kawan

Would've been cool to put the A7IV in 4:3 mode and match the compositions.

Sorry dude, if you arent using equivalent focal length lenses and compensate by changing subject distance, you are comparing apples to oranges, because your perspectives FOV/distortions dont match. So all these comparisons are basically dominated by which is the more appropriate focal length to use, regardless of which camera it is. Congrats on messing that up.

I feel like the Sony should be underexposed 1/3 stops to protect the highlights

Differences i see? Sony exposure is higher, you can see more of the shadows and the highlights are slightly more blown out.

The Fuji looks consistently better

Let me give you a hint that others gived away ... to understand why gfx and sony are so close ...fuji uses a sony sensor ...😂

Are these adapted lenses for FE mount or EF?

Which should I choose between GFX50SII and A7RV?
I usually shoot people, group activities, and landscapes.

Have you tried the Pentax 645z? It's a few years old now but works well with the old 645 lenses. It's the closest medium format look in digital I can get.

Your Sony photos are just too overexposed, it’s impossible to compare

Thanks for this helpful video. I've been contemplating the purchase of the GFX50SII not the GFX100S but it is the format size and resulting IQ that I want to see. I do not find the outcomes shown here as persuasive to make me think the GFX50SII or large format camera has the necessary step up in IQ to justify such a move. Yet, I'm still attracted to the GFX format. I reckon the best way to find out is to buy and try but the risk of rejection and therefore financial loss seems very high in my estimation.

Would you go a7iv or A7rv

Why the lens looks dirty?

Automatic like for the cleverness of the title alone : ) I liked a lot the photos with the Fujifilm. In part the colors that, maybe is placebo effect, look deeper or denser, and in part because 4:3 aspect ratio looks more professional, like made for magazine.

Differences don't really matter.

to my eye the gfx is noticeably more 3-dimensional with much smoother tonality

Yeah i think a more accurate comparison would be to put the 35mm f1.2 sigma on the Sony. That to me makes more sense comparing a 50mm on the GFX

GFX highlight roll-off is smooth and soft, which is very pleasing to the eye. After enjoying GFX images, Sony looks like shot on iPhone - they have a more digital look and less life In them.

To be honest you are not using the sensor in it’s maximum capabilities by using a sigma lenses on a “medium format sensor”. I’d rather applaud your effort if you use a medium format manual lenses on this camera. I’ve seen the other channel using medium format lenses and it came out way better than your shots.

1.4 on GFX will be close to 1.2 full frame equivalent ....hence separation and bokeh is practically identical

What camera and lens are you filming with in those pov shots?

Sony’s pictures is much better.. but if your talking about the bokeh and wideness of the picture Fuji is better. The look on Sony is more pleasing however

Love the comparison - and honestly, I strongly prefer images from the Sony when compared side by side and can't see much of a difference in terms of any effect from sensor size. 645 format film is a bit larger than the GFX, which is probably, in part, why.

hehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, medium format still have color in highlight or shadow, why you cant see ittt????????????????????????????????? compare medium with full frame, waste time

You guys are missing out on the Mitakon 65mm 1.4 for the gfx. Try also 105 2.4 Pentax, 80 1.9 Mamiya and 85mm old contax 1.4.

Compared 50R / 100s with Nikon Z7 II with Sigma and Nikkor Lenses: tonal richness is THE unbeatable feature of medium format. There's no way back, once you came down to "paint" pictures with sky colors and grab the abundance of colorful nature or technical structures with tons of shades and smooth transitions. NO way back.

Awesome video! Which adapter did you use on the Fuji?

Terrific video! Subtle differences between the two but the great thing there are options for different photographers. I love the camera strap on the Fuji. Do you happen to know the brand? It’s exactly what I’ve been searching for. Thanks!

When compared side by side like this, the highlights from the full frame look blindingly bright. Can't beat that smoothness of the medium format.

Starting a video with 'What's up everyone' just sounds dumb. We are not all Americans, and asking a question that is not meant to be answered, just because every other sheep starts their video that way, is well, like just being a sheep really. Think about why you are saying it, what purpose and value it has and then ask yourself is it appropriate and would there be many other better options for welcoming your viewers and introducing yourself. Like the Sesame Street t-shirt, it is a lame attempt to come across as a modern version of cool and interesting, yet your viewers generally will not perceive them that way and often such gimmicks become negatives, rather than positives that the content creator is aiming for. Be more real and authentic would be my top tip, and just speak to people naturally. Don't show subscription or ads unless they only appear in the last quater of the video and only when you have earned the privilege of interrupting your viewers with content they did not click on and choose to watch.

I shoot Nikon, so I am unbiased. Liking the Sony for so many reasons. I shoot weddings, seeing the difference it is negligible. For my purpose GFX is overkill with loss of speed and from these images colour.

Fuji has a more natural look while the sony has a exaggerated look, like everything looks overly done

What strap is on the gfx?

its hard to see a difference unless we go 1/1.2 /1.4 lenses with the GFX . The 1.8/2.0 GFX lenses would generally look the same as fullframe 1.4/1.2 . SO the only real advantage of GFX would be clean and crisp 100mp images. Maybe if you crop the Sony images to a 4:3 ratio - the difference will be bigger. ANd it al comes down to preference - if you like 4:3 go with GFX. If prefer 2:3 , save the money and go with a fullframe.

good video! I hope you can make another gfx video with mitakon 65mm 1.4 lens and ofc compare it to other lens . It should be interesting. Love your video and I enjoy watch it !

The Sony's 50GM images pops more, with better skintones and oof renderings

what mic u use for this videos?

The not mentioned joke is that all these cameras nowadays could long ago allready offer free configurable viewfinder cropping. "Full frame" sensor really should be 40 x 40 mm or so, allowing square 33x33 square or so instead of stupid 24x24, and "narrow" panorama, also same aspect ratio as "medium format" (also a BS nomenclatura), etc, and allow options how to switch horizontal to vertical without turning the camrra, even swiveling autolevelling -without having to redesign the lense's covering.

BTW I see no reason for saying that fuji has to be taken for it's better image quality. none. Because it is not. And is less practical and has less lenses and is slower. But if someone prefers it's handling and the above is of. no concern, then yes. Sadly, competition is necessary.

This sigma on the GFX is manual and without electronics?

I like sony fullframe vs gfx comparison, but when i see GFX with fullframe lens it’s not appropriate i think, so we can’t see the true differences


Sony 50 gm vs 63mm GF lense
Thank you for your review, i am always ejoy watching it!

a very interesting comparison - I didn’t know that you can put full-frame lenses on Fuji
