So, a few days ago I got the amazing FUJIFILM GFX 50S medium-format camera system for a little test. I think it’s been 9 years since I’ve first heard the term medium-format and for me it was like science-fiction.
For those who are less familiar with this type, it’s what you would call a camera system which sensor is larger than 35 mm (Full-Frame). The advantages of having a lager sensor are having a broader dynamic-range, larger amount of details and larger image dimensions in pixels.

About two years ago FUJIFILM launched the GFX 50S which is their first digital medium-format system and about several months, they launched it’s sibling, the GFX 50R, which has a more of a range-finder style to it.
From my short experience with the 50S, it’s amazing. It’s the first time ever with a medium-format camera and I was not disappointed. The 50 plus megapixels sensor does the job. So, when shooting the lovely Michal Barzovsky, I was able to pull every freckle she had with astonishing details.

It’s not for everyone though. The extremely high price-tag makes these cameras less appeal to general photographers, but rather high professional would appreciate.
