"It implies that 'getting it right in the camera' is somehow inherently superior, like the snobbishness one used to get from the Kodachrome users-'we get it right the first time.' What a load of B.S." (He went on to point out that slide-film shooters were just making a virtue of a necessity-okay, "putting lipstick on the pig" was how he actually phrased it-because with slides you really were stuck with what you got out of the camera. "It's clinical and has a disparaging connotation," Ctein wrote. Stephan: "Given that Capture One still doesn't support compressed RAF (that's one year after the X-Pro2's introduction), I wouldn't hold my breath on that one."ĭave: "I think the Fuji GFX will bring about the democratization of medium format."Ĭtein hates the term "post-processing." It's one of those (unfortunately all too common) terms that grew up twisted and parasitic, like an invasive species in the forest. "While the Hasselblad H camera + Phase One digital back combo is the go-to in my industry, if the rumors of the Fuji GF sensor being the same as the one in the IQ250 and that it will be supported in C1 are true, this may be the camera that revitalizes the industry, as camera upgrades have become more and more lackluster between generations (see Canon 5D Mark III and Mark IV)." In addition, there are not as many XF's in circulation amongst the rental houses, so support for the camera leaves a lot to be desired. Speaking with a smaller rental house I work with quite frequently, the owner was telling me that the cost of investing in the XF (1x digital back, 2x bodies, one or two copies of each lens) couldn't really be justified at this point in time. The cost of investing into a Phase XF system is absolutely ridiculous considering the camera isn't even complete yet (I spent 15 hours testing out the XF for a couple upcoming shoots and concluded that anyone who currently owns the XF is paying them to be a beta tester for it). "I was actually lamenting about this issue earlier today with a client I was teching for and we both agreed that if Phase One continued to exclude other medium format manufacturers, they'd render themselves obsolete. If I can recall correctly, there have been previous instances where the camera is not supported for tethering, but raws are supported (usually in the case of new DSLR releases where tethered support comes in at a later date).

I certainly hope it proves to be true, and would not be too surprised if it was." Given that this information came directly from a Fujifilm GFX product manager, does lend it at least some level of veracity, I would think. Stephen Scharf adds: "There's been some rather nasty back and forth about this at GetDPI, but the person at GPP in Dubai who answered the question by gerald.d to Zach Arias that the GFX would have Capture One support was Francois Koumyoujian, Fujifilm Product Manager, Electronic Imaging Products, Fujifilm Middle East. Regardless, it will be interesting to Fuji folk to see which raw converter will be able to handle GFX raw files earliest. If this turns out to be true it could help the penetration of the GFX among professionals. Here's a video (go to about the 47 minute mark) of Zack Arias asking the Fuji rep and then announcing that Phase One would support the GFX. They said that it would be supported when the camera is released. He said he didn't know whether the GFX would be supported, and looked at the Fuji guys. "At the end of a presentation given by Zack Arias," gerald.d writes, "I asked him whether he would miss Capture One if he moved from Phase One to Fuji. There's been no official announcement, so this is another rumor, but a member of the GetDPI forums, gerald.d, was at the Fuji launch event for the GFX in Dubai, and apparently the Fuji reps indicated that Phase One will be supporting the GFX after all, despite rumors to the contrary that were circulating last December.
