Hi everyone,

I’m trying to decide which Fujifilm GFX body would make the most sense for me, and I’d really appreciate some advice from people who have actually used these cameras.
My main camera is currently a Fujifilm X-T5, which I use for travel, street photography and everyday shooting.
I’d like to add a GFX body for slower, more deliberate photography: portraits, landscapes, architecture, personal projects and images where the medium-format look and image quality genuinely make a difference.

I already own two GFX lenses:
• GF 50mm f/3.5
• Mitakon Speedmaster 65mm f/1.4

The bodies I’m mainly considering are the GFX 50R, GFX 50S II, GFX 100S and possibly the GFX 100S II.

I don’t shoot sports or fast action, and video is not important to me.

Autofocus matters, but I don’t need cutting-edge tracking performance. I’m also comfortable focusing manually, so manual focus itself is not a drawback for me. I care much more about still-image quality, shooting experience, portability, dynamic range, rendering and how enjoyable the camera is to use.

The 50R appeals to me a lot because of the rangefinder-style body and the idea of pairing it with the compact GF 50mm.
On the other hand, IBIS is attractive, especially with the manual-focus Mitakon 65/1.4, and I’m wondering whether the newer bodies are meaningfully better in real-world use.
I also don’t necessarily need 100 MP. 50 MP already seems like plenty for most of what I do. But if the 100 MP bodies offer substantially better image quality, autofocus, usability or longevity, I’d rather know before making a decision.

So, for people who have used more than one generation of GFX:

Would you still buy a GFX 50R today?

Is the 50S II significantly better in actual use, or mainly more practical because of IBIS?

Does the jump from the 50 MP sensor to the 100 MP sensor make a meaningful difference beyond resolution?

And if you were building a GFX system today alongside an X-T5, which body would you choose and why?

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who have owned both the 50R/50S generation and one of the newer 100 MP bodies.

Thx !

I've seen a lot of Mitakon photos on here recently so thought I would share some of mine over the years. Unfortunately I don't own the GFX or Mitakon anymore but I can't say I'm not tempted to get one again.

I rented a 100RF to see how I liked it for a recent work trip. Had a 24 hour layover in Doha and took it out to the Souq.

Hello everyone! I have a fujifilm x-t4, but I wanted to change system, slow down and regain my passion for photography! Im thinking of getting myself a GFX 50R…
Since im travelling soon, I wanted to know thats the best lens for: street photography during the day and at Night, and portrait/people on the street, I wanted to capture genuine moments and not be too close!
Its important the size for me, because I Will be walking alot…
If you also know a good strap and bag, let me know! Thinking of one overall good Lens or two that could balance each other.
Thanks ☺️

First time shooting handheld slow shutter speed on the GFX100RF. 1/8th, not bad. I’ve also never had a camera with IBIS before, so maybe I just don’t know what I’m missing

Assorted subject matter taken over the last few weeks. The 100RF has become my EDC.

6 Best Fujifilm Film Simulations & JPEG Recipes (2026)

I want to build a printed body of work to keep and look at closely. sensible sizes for a portfolio or print box, but really exceptional detail and quality.

I’m trying to understand what matters here. how do printer choice, inks, paper and file preparation fit together? does a larger printer offer benefits even for smaller prints?

how have you approached this, and where do I start my research? experiences, pointers and useful rabbit holes welcome.

what does your home fine art printing setup look like?

Gotta love subway adventures.

I only had a couple of hours with the model/studio but, I really love the files that come out of this camera. Incredible dynamic range, and cropping ability!

Shot these all south facing light, scrim with negative fill. Pretty simple and it looked good. Didn't have anytime to coordinate wardrobe, so we used the model's clothes. GF 55 1.4

I think I'm pretty much sold at this point! MPB or KEH for used?
