By now, you would have heard about the newest camera that Fujifilm has announced<\/p>\n

Yes, its the GFX 50 R<\/p>\n

Thanks to Fujifilm Singapore, I was given the opportunity to bring this camera to Photokina 2018
\nIn the short few days that I had the camera, I was able to take some images when in Cologne<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just some simple specs about the camera<\/p>\n

GFX 50R, the \u2018R\u2019 representing Rangefinder
\nGFX 50R is 145g (0.32lb) lighter than the 50S, and is 25mm (0.98\u2033) thinner
\nThe camera have similar specs with the GFX 50 s in general
\nBut will have some differences
\nIt will not have a battery grip
\nprice will be lower at usd$4500 (which is a great price for those who want a medium format camera)
\nIt does not have a top LCD view
\nTHe LCD screen on GFX 50 R can only tilt up and down unlike those of the GFX 50 s, or the XT3
\nButtons layout is different
\nThe viewfinder is located at the left corner
\nbattery is the same as the one with GFX 50 s
\nThe diopter mechanism on the side of the camera has the same push-pull locking mechanism as the one found on the X-T3 which works really well. No more \u201cturning that when pulling the camera from your bag<\/p>\n

Frankly, being a GFX 50 s user, I was not too excited about this camera
\nBut after using it for a few days, i have to say I love it more and more<\/p>\n

Its a great camera for street photography
\nIt is not as big as the GFX50s, so it does not draw much attention to the photographer.
\nI used mainly the GF 63 mm lens when I was in cologne
\nFujiflm has also announced a new lens, the GF 50mm f3.5 , which i think will work great with the GFX 50 R<\/p>\n

And of cos image quality in the GFX50R is as good as the GFX50S
\nAt a lower price this time,
\nconsumers who are itching to get a medium format, will find this the answer to their wants.<\/p>\n

THe grip though is different from the GFX50S, its not as deep
\nSo I am not sure how comfy it would be to use it with big lens like the GF 250 mm
\nIt might not be as comfortable.. but I am not too sure, as I did not try it with the lens<\/p>\n

Finally, I really enjoyed shooting with it.. so much so that I cant bear to let it go :p<\/p>\n

AMyway, some images here to share .. taken in between breaks when in Photokina 2018
\n( I used the face detection alot for this .. and am glad to say it works extremely well) <\/p>\n
