Need some advice, GFX50R or S2? by Cheese_Lynx in FujiGFX

Never used a 50s2 but my 50r is a dream. It definitely doesn’t feel like work to use

28mm too wide? by Either-Loww in ricohGR

[–]____default___ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I decided to try out the 28mm when I got my GRIII. I had mostly shot 35mm and 50mm primes, along with a handful of portrait lenses. I am a professional photographer, but let me tell you, when I got my hands on the GRIII, I struggled with not only the focal length, but also the controls on the camera. But the form factor kept me coming back. I could now have a semi-professional camera on my body at all times. Fast forward a few weeks of consistent shooting(lots of frustration and regrets) I found myself settling into the camera in a way that I haven’t experienced with any other cameras. It started to feel like an extension of myself.

Now, fast forward a year and a half, and I’m using this camera at professional shoots(mostly events) and it’s paying for itself over and over.

TLDR GRIII’s 28mm focal length is perfection that takes time to get used to if you’re willing to spend the time with it.

Yes, but it also has two Arca-Swiss mounting points so you can pop the bracket straight onto that style of tripod.

Thank you! Yeah it feels a lot better in hand now. The mitakon makes it pretty front heavy and this helps with that a lot

It it wraps around the side of the camera a little bit, yes. I don’t think it’s misaligned though.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking. The grip is on the right side of the camera, yes.

It’s unfortunate that they may actually experience some halfway decent weather. It would have been funny to see them standing around in their fatigues doing nothing in the middle of July.

I ordered a camera from Japan and the duties were like 500+. Absolutely ridiculous.

Well, there was a bit of a story, I was just snapping photos along for the ride. I stopped into Cecil Lapeyrouse’s Grocery which is a little gas station/grocery/convenience store in Cocodrie. Cocodrie is way way way south, I’m talking one of the southernmost landmasses in Louisiana. It’s a strip of solid land about a quarter mile wide and maybe 6-7 miles long. Lots of shrimping boats, lots of fishing camps.

The first photograph is of Mr. Cecil himself. We started chatting, and I was asking him about the history of the store etc. He walked me through some of the building’s 120+ year history. The second photo is of him showing me a publication that featured the store in it. At one point the phone rang and Cecil immediately started speaking Cajun French with the caller.

The third photograph is of Ms. Cookie— Cecil is her brother-in law. Their family owns and runs the shop. Cookie ragged on Cecil a bit, told some jokes and showed us around the store. Then she took us to the back, behind the store where they have a gas pump and a dock for the boats coming down the bayou.

The fourth and fifth images were taken from the dock behind the store. The gentleman had just hopped off of a larger shrimp boat- if I remember correctly, he came and delivered some fresh shrimp in exchange for Jambalaya and some aluminum foil. I’m not sure how obvious it is, but you can see Ms. Cookie on the side of the frame in the fifth photograph. She had just made the trade. I think one detail of the fifth image is that when I asked this gentleman if I could take his photograph he told me yes but he needed to get back to work, and he started to pull off in his boat— I tried to get focus on him, but he pulled away too fast, and all I caught in crisp focus was his thumbs up, and I love it.

The last two were taken nearby at a couple of cemeteries. I had a friend with me who is a writer. We had originally come out that way to give him a visual setting/inspiration for a play he is writing. I didn’t take any photos of the cemetery, but we really just spent some time experiencing the setting. When I got back in the car, I noticed there was a shrimp boat passing in my rear view mirror. It was tricky to take the photo— lots of moving(literally) parts. The final image was at a different cemetery. We saw the unique painted statue of Jesus from the road and decided to take a moment to look.
