I have been using the Fujifilm GFX system for the last 4 years.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the GFX system, medium format cameras were big, and quite heavy, and cumbersome. You wouldn\u2019t really use it to walk long distances, unless you were in a studio environment, where normally a medium format camera could be used.<\/p>\n<p>A Dslr on the other hand was the camera for jobs on the move. When I\u2019m shooting architecture, I\u2019m usually walking several kilometers distance, all around the subject, during the day and during the night, trying to find the best vantage point of that building, and I\u2019m walking while the camera is on me.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/gfx100-morethan_beno-saradzic_02-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/gfx100-morethan_beno-saradzic_02-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">GFX100 &#038; GF32-64mmF4 R LM WR<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>I definitely wouldn\u2019t be walking all that distance if the camera was heavy, and impractical to carry. This is what I see as a huge advantage of the GFX. It is portable, it pretty much feels like having a DSLR in the hand. It allows me to be more adventurous with camera angles, to explore more of them, all while the camera is on me. I find my frame, take the shot and quickly move onto the next one. More angles means I can be more creative. This is vital in my line of work.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/gfx100-morethan_beno-saradzic_03-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/gfx100-morethan_beno-saradzic_03-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">GFX100 &#038; GF32-64mmF4 R LM WR<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>When I\u2019m chasing the light during the periods of light transition, in the morning and during the golden hour to blue hour, I only have a few precious minutes to find a new vantage point before the sun goes away, or before it gets too bright.<\/p>\n<p>I need to move very quickly, mounting and dismounting the system needs to happen in a blink of an eye, so I can take my shot and be done for the day, because I can\u2019t afford to go again the next day to take just one picture.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/gfx100-morethan_beno-saradzic_04-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/gfx100-morethan_beno-saradzic_04-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">GFX100 &#038; GF32-64mmF4 R LM WR<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>Portability plays a huge role here, that\u2019s on top of huge resolution that allows me to crop into the detail. Detail is very important to the architect. Architects take great pride in their work and want everyone to appreciate their problem solving efforts, details and creativity reflected in their creations. If I\u2019m able to give them that out of a master shot at a decent resolution, which they can print or analyze separately, again, it\u2019s a huge benefit. These are the main benefits of a GFX system over a conventional DSLR system which starts at 50 and tops out at 400 megapixels.<\/p>\n<h2>A lens for every occasion. The GF32-64mmF4 R LM WR<\/h2>\n<p>The FUJINON GF32-64mmF4 R LM WR is considered a wide to standard focal range. I believe the majority of my subjects whether interior, or architecture, or cityscapes are covered by that range.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/gfx100-morethan_beno-saradzic_05-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/gfx100-morethan_beno-saradzic_05-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">GFX100 &#038; GF32-64mmF4 R LM WR<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>It\u2019s obviously handy on location because I don\u2019t have to switch the lens every time I need to get a little bit closer, and on top of that I\u2019m getting image quality on par with a prime. The GF32-64mmF4 R LM WR is incredibly sharp. This is one of the sharpest zoom lenses I have ever used. With this particular lens I\u2019ve never felt the need to go back to primes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/gfx100-morethan_beno-saradzic_06-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/gfx100-morethan_beno-saradzic_06-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">GFX100 &#038; GF32-64mmF4 R LM WR<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>I shoot architecture and my subjects contain a lot of straight lines, and horizontal lines that obviously need to be straight.
