With the super shallow depth of field from a large sensor, paired with lenses like the GF80mmF1.7 you can create such dreamy images. The separation it provides from such a crisp subject to a beautifully blurry background is something I really admire in these cameras.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/gf50s-ii_justine-milton_01.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/gf50s-ii_justine-milton_01.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>The 4:3 crop, which for me, coming from a film background is so so important. That way shooting digital I don\u2019t have to crop in post, I can shoot in the format that I think in and that is such a relief. I also think its a much more flattering aspect ratio for most images! The grain structure that looks and feels more like film grain than digital noise. And with that, the high ISO capabilities are insanely amazing, barely any noise, and still super clean coloring!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/gf50s-ii_justine-milton_02.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/gf50s-ii_justine-milton_02.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">GFX50S II &amp; GF45mmF2.8 R WR<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>The incredibly crisp large sensor that allows me to crop from horizontal to vertical if I need to! (I hate to admit to doing that, I would love if you all thought I was a genius and shot everything perfectly, but the truth is sometimes in the moment you\u2019re shooting and something happens quickly you want to capture that and you don\u2019t always have time to think about the perfect composition in the moment, but with this censor&#8230;afterwards you can change that and still have a top quality image.)<\/p>\n<p>Super cute moment that happened really quickly. Better composition thought of while editing.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp_flexbox col2\">\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/gf50s-ii_justine-milton_03-300x225.jpg?width=300&#038;height=225\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4195244\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">GFX50S II &amp; GF45mmF2.8 R WR<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/gf50s-ii_justine-milton_04-225x300.jpg?width=225&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4195245\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">GFX50S II &amp; GF45mmF2.8 R WR<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I know editing can make a huge difference and go a long way, but bare with me here, coming from film where I don\u2019t have to edit much, it\u2019s not my strong suit. So the SOOC image coloring is very important to me. The GFX50S II has gorgeous coloring, both the RAWS and fuji\u2019s jpeg\u2019s with the film simulations. So much so, that the back of camera shots look so good I actually show them to clients without even thinking about it!<\/p>\n<p>And the touch screen where I can pinch to zoom to check if eyes are open super quickly or if the focus is tack sharp is a huge bonus. I never thought of how convenient that could be but I use it ALLLL the time!<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp_flexbox col2\">\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/gf50s-ii_justine-milton_05-225x300.jpg?width=225&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4195246\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/gf50s-ii_justine-milton_06-300x225.jpg?width=300&#038;height=225\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4195247\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">GFX50S II &amp; GF45mmF2.8 R WR<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And one thing that\u2019s a huge bonus, is the buffer, not that I rapid fire a lot, but on my old DSLR when I would do that it would fill up the buffer pretty quickly.

(and that\u2019s at least 6 different ones) I can pull an image up but 3-4 full stops in LR (not that i mess up that often! But sometimes you gotta underexpose a lot) and it looks flawless, no added noise, no weird color shifting and it\u2019s a beautiful image, like some of my best, not just passable or a \u201cahh let\u2019s just put it in black and white and pretend that didn\u2019t happen\u201d legit some of my best!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/gf50s-ii_justine-milton_08.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/gf50s-ii_justine-milton_08.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">GFX50S II &amp; GF45mmF2.8 R WR<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>Okay last point I promise, the focus, while It\u2019s not crazy fast like the GFX100S it\u2019s more than adequate for like 99% of things I\u2019m photographing.
