The kit Eleanor used
FujifilmGFX 50S The Fujifilm GFX 50S is the brand's flagship medium format, mirrorless camera, which features a 51.4 megapixel sensor, 14-stop dynamic range and the Fujifilm Film Simulation modes, allowing you to reproduce colours and tones from Fujifilm’s photographic film manufacturing days.
GF45mm f/2.8 RWR Weighing just 490g, this wide-angle lens provides a maximum aperture of f/2.8 and features a Nano GI coating to reduce ghosting and flare. It’s also weather and dust resistant.
GF110mm F2 This medium telephoto lens is ideal for portraits and features a fast and quiet AF thanks to its linear motor. It’s also dust and weather resistant and delivers beautiful bokeh thanks to its f/2 aperture.

camera that can keep up. However, an extra battery or a battery grip would easily solve this problem. My final job was to shoot rock band, Papa Roach, and by then the GFX 50S felt like an extension of myself. I could easily alter the settings using the shutter speed and ISO dials on the top, which was much quicker than what I’m used to, even in the darkness of O2 Academy Birmingham’s photo pit. It was an effortless shoot, where the camera does most of the work. I didn’t second guess any of my shots – I could enjoy the
show, while working. Once you’re used to the different layout, its design is ergonomic and practical. By the end of the twoweeks, I’msaddened to be sending the GFX 50S back. A move to a mirrorless camera now seems imminent, and although the price tag is slightly eye watering (does anyone have a spare few grand they’d like to lend me?), it’s justifiable for a camera this good.
