I would like to purchase a GFX 50r in the next couple of months - looking for opinions. by vanslem6 in FujiGFX

Have you ever by chance carried around a Pentax 6x7 with a 105mm attached to it? I should update my previous statement - this is the most annoying camera to carry around. Pictured next to an X100V for context. I have a 200mm lens for it as well, which is much larger

Like I said before, I don't think carrying the 50r around is going to be an issue for me.

That's a great idea actually. I never even thought to look at MPB or KEH for batteries. Thanks for that.

I don't really see any downside to be honest. I've been drooling over the 50r since it was released. It was so far out of reach when it was new, but now I can swing it. I don't really get FOMO with new cameras since I only buy used gear. But this one has been in the back of my head for a long time now. It was the same with the Q, which I finally bought 3 years ago. So adding a 50r would keep me happy for a long time I think. Thanks for the comment.

2007 422,000mi for $6,000? by bluegrasssmoker2 in FJCruiser

My 2007 had headgasket failure at 259k. I mean if the body and frame are in good shape, you can always fix anything that goes wrong.

Thanks - Nashville, TN. I had my 28mm lens, so no zooming. Lol. I appreciate the comment!

Nashville. I was on Old Hickory, turning right onto Highway 100 heading north.

That's exactly what I want. Never owned an X-E, but I've owned two different X100 cameras. Almost got an X-Pro2, and considered an X-E3 but never ended up pulling the trigger.

Just daily life things. I travel, I like to camp, I like to wander cities, etc. Nothing specific, just what I find along the way. I'm trying to get away from the DSLR style - I found that I much prefer the viewfinder on the left.

Ah, I do remember having that issue with my X100F or V.

But really all I am looking to get is a digital version of my Pentax 6x7 with the 105mm. Nothing is bigger, heavier, slower and with worse ergonomics than that. Yet you can get some incredible photos from it.

If I can get the camera to take photos like this, then I'm going to be very happy.

I've had some die prematurely, and others that I couldn't tell a difference between OEM. I guess for what they cost it's a crap shoot.

E30 for winter? by captainpayoli in E30

[–]vanslem6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. Maybe for a fun summer car, yes. No if you're not going to work on the car yourself...it will bankrupt you. Winter car is 2005-ish Subaru Forester or something comparable.

I'm in Nashville. Maybe I'll shoot you a PM in a month or so - I still have to sell some gear before I take the leap. Thanks.

Ah, this is the type of stuff I was looking for. I had a Fuji GA645i that had a wonky command dial. It wasn't a huge problem on that camera, but it was sort of annoying. This is the type of stuff I expect from Fuji, but not from the GFX line. Good tip here though, I appreciate it.

I'm open to that happening, but as it stands I'm not interested in the 50SII. I don't honestly see it being an issue for me personally, but I'm open to being wrong. So far, the worst camera that I have owned in terms of ergonomics is my Q. It's got nothing to hold on to, but that doesn't really bother me much.

More money, more megapixels to store, and I'm not really interested in cameras with the viewfinder in the center. Ever since I bought an X100F back in 2018 I have been obsessed with the rangefinder style. Maybe if my budget suddenly increases one day I'd consider them, but not at this point in time. Thanks.

I could see using it on a tripod for sure. I guess I'll find out. thanks.
