Originally posted by barondla I've seen reports of lens motors that don't have enough grunt to focus with a Lee filter holder and filter attached!
That may be with the 63mm lens, because all other GF lenses are internal focus.
Originally posted by barondla There are also reports of Fuji lenses having focus creep. The lenses won't stay where they are manually focused from shot to shot.
That, yeah, better keep the lens horizontal or refocus for every new shot, it should work that way.
Originally posted by barondla It is possible the Fuji are more advanced amateur creations than professional.
I agree, Fuji MF target is consumer having the money (e.g. upgrade path for X series owners), their approach is similar to Sony, good paper specifications, lots of marketing and frequent firmware fixes, physical implementation in cameras is rather basic for the price. I've tried the GFX50R (after the GFX50S), and I couldn't believe such bad ergonomics and build quality at the price point, clearly below Pentax 645D/Z series. Having handled the 645Z, I can confirm my impression of the 645Z being the Rolls Royce of cameras. A lot of things I can do simply with my Pentax K1, that are not even possible with a Fuji MF camera. If I buy an MF system, my natural choice would be a Pentax 645z but that system looks already dead, unfortunately, no sign of life from Ricoh on the 645 front. Fuji would be the only affordable alternative for my budget, where I can hope to get some after sales service if something breaks.
