Those images look good Graham. For me I am still having trouble accepting the electronic viewfinder.

I would Love the GFX 100...I know a gent in Argentina who is using that camera with the PC-E Nikkors...19...24...45...albeit on full lens opening only ,as it can n`t control the electric aperture, yet,he still achieves good results tho`, .....and that`s another thing with mating modern gear of different makes , namely Incompatibility Issues !!...

Well I have the GFX50R and for the time being I can be satisfied by it. I wish I could fond a way (hack) that allowed me to directly control the 24mm f3.5 PCe lens aperture as it covers the 44x33 sensor size easily with no vignette visible. Also considering the Laowa 17mm f4 lens.

It depends on what your shooting I found that when using the evf for BIF what I saw in the viewfinder and what I got were ever so slightly different.

I found that true of the Fuji mirrorless cameras I had. The Sony camera I now have (A7 iii) is much better. It's focusing system is also a lot faster and more true. The A1 that Graham is using, has an EVF that is purportedly better than many top DSLR! Sony have also countered the black flashing between exposures even at 30fps. The one thing I haven't gotten used to with mirrorless, is the playback in the viewfinder (not sure if a I can cancel that?). If I pause to preview a captured image on the back screen then suddenly have to lift the camera to the eye to resume shooting, there is an eyeful of that file still in the evf which blanks the view of the next subject... for what seems to be an eternity. I've missed several unexpected bif while the evf playback image clears. I have to try to remember to touch the shutter to clear it while I am lifting to the eye. It may be there's a setting I am missing or I need to get used to a new system...but it does jarr a bit.

There is an 'EVF eye sensor' that switches between TFT screen and EVF so all you need to do is touch the shutter to revert from playback to shooting. It is the same on Nikon D850 but of course with DSLR there is no playback in viewfinder. Playback in viewfinder is not something I like except when it is under very sunny/bright conditions.

If I want to pick up the camera to take a photo after being in playback mode, I HAVE to press the shutter to clear the image in the viewfinder before I can 'locate' the new target. With a DSLR even with the rear screen alight in playback mode you can see immediately the live action through the viewfinder. Sure you need to touch the shutter to get operational just like the mirrorless but you have that extra time to locate and compose before touching the shutter. I found this frustrating yesterday practising bif. Birds were flying erratically overhead....I take a shot, check the exposure on the LCD and go to take another shot, but the bird has moved and I need to find it again in the viewfinder... but there's a frozen picture of the last bird blocking my view. 😡 I haven't found it (if it exists) but it would be so much better if the playback cancelled itself when the eye went up to the viewfinder.

Do you have playback enabled automatically for when you take a shot? I think that is a nightmare so I dont do this but I know people who have this routinely enabled. It would drive me nuts. I think what you are saying is something that is part of the 'way the camera works' with mirrorless. To get away from that you need a Fuji X100V which had an optical and a EVF so you can choose what you view with. Playback only works on back TFT and EVF. The optical is always active for viewing subject. I prefer to shoot with EVF. I guess after 10 years using mirrorless it is all habit for me. It is like somebody with a film camera that is not fitted with a motordrive, wanting to have the film wind on automatically! When you have the motordrive you learn that if you keep the button pressed then you use your 36exposures very quickly!
