Or OP can change this thread cross post in Alt forum? Most of people are not aware this thread. There is not lots of activities here as well as Medium format images thread there. Combine them may not be a bad idea.
I would like some feedback from owners on how "hand hold-able" the camera is. Meaning not having to lug a tripod around. Ego's looks fine. All of these images look great!
The camera is easily handheld. Not too heavy. The lenses are not huge either. The macro has image stabilization. The 32-64 is hefty but again easy to hand hold. The 63mm is light. Good ergonomics.

I find the camera super easy to handhold. I have the tilt swivel viewfinder and I shoot most of my hand held shot looking down at the view finder and holding the camera at my chest. I find it a very comfortable way shoot as many who have used MF film cameras will recognize. I find it just the right size and I love the controls, but I have big hands. For me it is my favorite camera ergonomically if I don't have to carry it for more than a few hours.
If you can handle D810 with 24-70/2.8 VR or 105/.14e, 70-200/2.8 (or Canon equivalent) then you should not have any problem with GFX at all.
by the way, does anybody else bother by GFX noise level at iso 1600 and beyond like I do?
I am not sure how it measure against other camera but I feel that A7r ii file looks quite a bit cleaner than GFX at iso 1600 and up or it may be just that noise grain on A7r ii is not as obtrusive or annoying as GFX, perhap? At iso 5000 and up, it can be pretty bad on GFX. I am talking about RAW file and not jpg here.

I think the high ISO is quite good even at ISO 6400 if you can just do a little reduction in size. Reduced to 33 mix or so (5500 pixels on the longest side) I find the noise very acceptable at ISO 6400.
Fujifilm Iceland did lend me a GFX body (and the 63mm lens) over a weekend this summer. I only had time to use it for family snaps. Still enough time to get a feel for it. Still trying to figure out a plan on how I will obtain a GFX.
