- Image noise performance, shallow depth of field and such are probably a lost case to the mountain of lenses with even larger apertures on FF. The lenses must be really unique for MF or be priced extremely cheap.
Sorry Fuji, but I believe this will be an expensive mistake for you.
The Fuji sensor has the same resolution as the 645z. Does the 645z have a problem competing with the 5DSR?
Fuji makes all the medium format lenses for Hasselblad. It is possible that the new Fuji MF camera will share the same mount as the new Hassy.
Canon sensors are a generation behind Sony. Yes, the 5DSR has the same number of mega pixels, but the quality of the RAW files are not nearly as good as the 645z or even the K-1.
Medium format users typically don't need a huge number of lenses. When I had my Contax 645 I probably used 3 lenses 99% of the time. Fuji has a long history of being successful with medium format, so I expect that they have a good idea what they are doing. The Fuji RF645 and GS6x9 were both very successful in their niche.
If there is anyone who is in a position to launch a new MF mount. It is Fuji.
