GFX Buzz
If you are curious about the GFX, well, then I can’t recommend you enough to join us at the Fujifilm GFX facebook group, where 5,700+ GFX fans are having great discussions about Fuji’s new system and GFX beta testers continue to share their images, impressions and interact with the whole community.
I’ll pick out a few more GFX tidbits shared at the group… and let’s start with:
GFX Dynamic Range (JPEG)
I’ve already shared yesterday Keith’s first impressions & image samples at clubsnap. Keith is also interacting and answering the questions of the GFX facebook group in his GFX post here. Amongst the others, he shows how much details you can recover from an underexposed Super-Fine JPEG with the GFX.
GFX facebook group members can see the underexposed image here, and the recovered image here.

First Pictures and Impressions of the GFX with 120mm at the German site fineartprinter (translation) – Via GFX Facebook Group here. A short summary of his findings:
- Sharpness is “convincing“
- the lack of mirror (and hence less camera shakes) allows to achieve sharper handheld pictures at slower shutter speeds. He easly shot perfectly sharp images with the 63mm at 1/80 of a second
- impressive 69,9 x 52,43 cm printings at a 300 dpi resolution and 87,38 x 65,5 cm at 240 dpi
- One Image + Crop shared at fineartprinter (translation)
I would be careful with judging the sharpening for now, since it’s uploaded for the web. However, it can give an idea of how sharp the images are with the GFX, and I especially love the soft out of focus transition.
