The Verdict
So it looks like the consensus is that I should try the Fuji GFX 50R with the 50mm ƒ/3.5 or 45mm ƒ/2.8 lens. I ll request one for review. (It doesn t cost me anything to borrow equipment, but thanks to those who expressed concern about that.)
A couple of readers suggested that I should review
all of them. All the medium format digital cameras. That actually would be oddly appropriate. The first involved, long-term brief I was given as a Contributing Editor to a photography magazine (
Darkroom Photography) was to systematically review the options among medium format cameras. Before I was done I had reviewed the Bronica SQ-Ai, Rolleiflex 6002 and 6008 Integral, Fuji GS645S, Fuji GX680, Exacta 66, Mamiya 6, Bronica ETRSi, Bronica RF645, Mamiya RZ67, and probably a few more that aren t coming to mind at the moment. (Favorites: the SQ-Ai and Mamiya 6.) I used some TLRs too, just not sure if I actually wrote about any of them.
