I'm liking this lens! With the right light, it gives nice sunstars too. It is sharp and I like having the zoom. My line up also includes the 38v and 55v and presumably, I have the 35-100 coming today. That may be it as far as the kit goes. I'm thinking maybe the 25v or 28p to give me a three prime set and then the two zoom set. That should cover it.
I have the 28/38/55 and 90, my favorite and the best optically is the 90v. I did portraits with that over the weekend, the look is like nothing I've shot before. The way the subjects pop out of the frame is amazing, totally different look than trying to kill the background with f/1.4 or f/1.8 on my M glass
Alright, you're really tempting me now. Those stars are great, something I'm struggling with on my V lenses. I haven't tried these long exposures handheld on anything but the M11 in the past few years, and maybe Sony/Nikon are much better than last I used, but I could never have done a second or longer before the X2DII
Excellent, I'm jealous of where you're shooting. I don't have anything like this anywhere near me. I love these types of shots. Processing is spot on as well
Thank you. I just took a little road trip around Colorado on county roads and state highways. Found a few pretty cool spots!

The image stabilization is truly like no other. I never could have gotten a 1 second exposure sharp with any camera I ever owned. That includes Sony, Leica, Fuji. Opens up a lot of possibilities . . .
100sii, Mitakon 65 f/1.4 | First walk, downtown Anchorage, Alaska | First impressions: not as heavy as I imagined, balances well for me on the 100sii, need to practice more on critical focus but used higher fps, no hood (I thought hood reversed and flipped?), so far very fun (in pretty flat, winter light)!
Long time no post here. I see a lot post regarding Hasselblad recently and thought about add it but I feel GFX is really fit my personal need better. Around home, I mainly adapt 58G and 80lux or Leica S 70mm, sometimes, contax 645 80mm f2. GFX is really a perfect camera for me once I give myself enough time to set it full fit my need. Its viewfinder is the best I ever used from any system minus maybe Leica S OVF.
I took advantage of US company holiday this week went to Yosemite for a two day solo trip. I brought GFX100II and 3 S glasses (70/100/180) along with GFX100RF and a Fuji Zoom lenses. This is the first time I really used S glasses on GFX with Kipon for photography oriented trip.
Have to say this is the first time I feel I used S glass without any practical limitation of S system. I constantly find myself shooting at 1/30S below to take advantage of ISO80 clean file of Fuji, IBIS allow me manual focus at 180mm without issue. CPL is fine that won't dim my viewfinder, I can shoot f8 f11 with CPL without fight with minimal shutter speed or ISO. I of course miss OVF but it is really a trade off for me. I think I am more incline to pick GFX now for serious 'hobbby' work. 100 II became my favorite Camera body ever used. I sold it first time as I was frustrated with its menu but this time, I give myself long enough time to full understand it. I have to say I love it.
Here is one image with 180S stitched, it is about 180M file The file is incredible. Web display can't do justice for this. I feel this is 2nd time 180S is usable without Tripod, the first one was with SL2. I almost never bring this lens with S system with me for any trip as I know I need at least 1/500S to guarantee a stable shot if I can focus reliable with it on S system.
