I received my GFX 100 “The Second” (pretentious marketing BS - ) and have the firmware update installed with no issues. I agree that it is a real beauty in terms of fit and finish and about as nice as any camera I’ve owned (and I’ve owned a few really nice cameras). The 55 1.7 is SHARP. The body is “too small” for my large hands, and the grip will arrive tomorrow, so that should put it back in the realm of my GFX 100, which suits me fine.

The EVF is a sight to behold (couldn’t resist). It’s HUGE, bright,...Show more →

The joystick on the 100S is really quite dreadful. I find it jumpy and it works very poorly as the OK button. But one lives with these things to get all the other goodness!

Enjoy your new camera Rand. It sounds like a beauty!

Thx. How would you compare this one and a GF45 or a GF50 (in case you have either of them)?

A "self portrait" from yesterday, with a bit of medium format look.
The 55 seems very sharp wide open, even to the corners (at least if you focus there).
Bokeh is generally pleasing but becomes jittery towards the borders at larger focusing distances. Which was expected.

AF is faster in real use than I thought. Also very accurate; better than the 80 I think. It doesn't hunt or hesitate even in very low light. Probably even better with the new camera.

Here's one showing the nasty border bokeh at a few meters (edit: but don't forget that this background has some extreme contrast). Still a nice look though.
Also note the flat field. You won't get that with adapted lenses.

Bokeh at a little bit closer distance, but still pretty far. Now it's getting pleasing, and I love the character.

Makten - Congratulations on the new lens. Thanks for the first observations on the 55mm f/1.7. I wonder how it does in conjunction with the GFX 50R or 50S? I have the 80mm f/1.7 (with the 50R) so I know the limits quite well in conjunction with an older GFX camera. Is it similar with the 55mm f/1.7 or maybe even subjectively better in direct comparison with the 80mm f/1.7? I assume those 55mm f/1.7 pics are with the newer GFX model with PDAF?

The images were shot with the 50S II, and I'd say AF is better and faster than with the 80. Not by a huge margin, but enough so that it isn't bothering me (which is the case with the 80).
The 55 gives lower LoCA but more distortion (that you will never see unless you disable the correction in the raw converter), and interestingly also quite low vignetting. Sharpness at f/1.7 is possibly a bit better, or at least there is less spherical aberration.
Rendering is kind of similar to the 80 actually. Maybe a little bit harsher, especially at a few meters distance.

Thanks! And you’re right about living with “stuff” for the benefits of other stuff. I’ve had the RRS L-plate permanently attached to my GFX 100, because the vertical grip “design feature” is so awful!
