I used to love shooting with Velvia back in San Francisco nearly 20 years ago. It’s nice to see that they still make it.

@MartinTransporter have you shot with any of the medium format digital Fuji’s?

ah nice!
Would love to shoot anything at anytime in San Francisco- my #1 city or area I want to visit

You think about the modern Fuji GFX 50s or 50r? Dynamic range monsters :slight_smile:
Not yet. Would love to as I respect Fuji for beeing the worlds best camera manufactorer
They know colours like no one else and listen to customers.
Have you?

I am in contact with such treasures like this one

Absolutely, I shoot all my portrait and advertisement work on the GFX now, and all my event and action sports work on the canon 1DX2 and soon to be 1DX3.

nice! - we understand us

shot a few times the 1dx II with Sigma 200-500 f2.8 or with the Zeiss 21

I like the 1dx II for egonomics and smaller pixel count
It gets out of the way like no other Canon

The 1dx3 is soonish at a good friends company and I will take it to a shoot, if the client pays the on top for the loan fee

If I had a dollar for every PM or email (here, or elsewhere) asking for personalized ultra-specific comparisons between multiple products, half of which is stuff I haven’t heard (or even heard OF) …

I’d have THREE nice boats now.

When your opinions are valued, but never compensated. :laughing:

Is that…more boats than you have now?

@Torq - I read that one review you did on that one thing I like, and was just curious if you could buy a HoloSpring KTE May DAC and Pass Labs HPA-1 and let me know if it’s any better than my Topping D90 > Bottlehead Crack (no speed ball) setup. I have a passing interest in these things and don’t want to pull the trigger on those items until I win the lottery.

Oh, btw, headphones I use are the M50X for classical and modern neogothicblues. I also use a $5 chi-fi iem for my commute to work. I work from home, so I don’t use them much.

Please do double blind comparisons with a large focus group (50 or more people) so we can validate your opinions. For SCIENCE!

KK, thx

Btw - I thought your review on the Magni + was hot garbage, and even though I haven’t heard it myself, I have measurements from someone else that supports my biased and prejudiced notions. I trust your review on the May DAC + HPA-1 will be better than that, and will support my belief that R2R anything is worthless. My ego could use the boost. Please.
