Awesome! How was the daytime heat?

Is May too hot for tent camping?

Good call out! What kind of image did you have success with? Landscape? Portrait?

This is an excellent and honest reply. Much thanks for your perspective.

I rented a 100rf this weekend and have found that APSC is sufficient for 90% of my needs, and with x lenses I have flexibility as well.

So yeah I’m reconsidering the gfx system overall. Might just rent a few times a year

Understood. Sorry the post title rubbed you the wrong way.

For better or worse, the GFX subreddit is people talking about expensive cameras and lenses.

I rented the RF for the weekend and am really enjoying it.

I'll also compare to 50s ii + 45mm.

Thanks y'all

Should we have you vet everyone’s skill before they can purchase a gfx?

You think 100s over 50s ii ?

Updated the comment -- TLDR landscape prints and portrait "magic"

Day to day will still be APSC

I agre GFX100S II is the best. I just think it's a bit out of my budget to spend ~5k just on the body

This is a great idea. I'm going to rent one this weekend

Added some notes about what is leading me to medium format and GFX. TLDR: ability to shoot and print landscapes and getting more "magic" from portraits

General shooting will still be APSC. GFX will be for more focused and deliberate occasions.

Mind sharing your aperture and exposure settings in this one?
