I'm not too familiar with his style. Are you saying it's just making stuff up to get hits? Sounds very Ken Rockwell of him.

He had a point? Still trying to work it out. He was just joking around? Trying to please his sponsor?
If he's making a joke, then I just don't get the humour I suppose. Then again, I think American humour is basically variations of fart jokes and seeing who can act the most stupid.

Does that mean I've mastered American humour?
That was surprisingly easy.
McBeth Photography wrote: I think that there were several points being made here.
1. Digital technology is getting better all the time.
2. Zack started using Fuji for fun and personal work, this led to a paying gig for him.
3. In Zack's view, his APS-C sensor camera of choice is a professional camera for serious work. A game changer.
4. Zack owns a Phase One medium format camera that can give him very large files so between the Phase One kit and the Fuji kit he feels covered.
5. Zack is not afraid to admit that large format film kinda turns him on and likes to see other shooters working with large format film.
I probably missed a few other things but I'm out of time.
I guess if it needs to be explained, then here it is. Here you have a working pro that is choosing a smaller format to shoot and publish professional work with. This is in direct opposition to what the camera manufacturers are trying tell us when they market their FX cameras, particularly their high end models. Make no mistake about it, this discussion will continue around the photography global market.KCook wrote:

I suppose it's cool that Zack is sharing all that with his fans. But I still fail to see what it has to do with the rest of the universe.

I think this is this guy's personal experience from his personal useage points... sounds a lot, actually, like he's trying to justify his choice.

Fair enough, Zack appears to be a passionate guy. We're all human and we love our toys!
Stealthy Ninja wrote: BTW my friend who owns the X-T1 would never say it's a replacement for a FF camera. It's very good, but you just can't get around the physics. Sensor technology can make high ISO noise better, but it can't magically improve the bokeh. Even Zack had to freelense and give special conditions to make the Fuji have "better" bokeh than a FF camera. Even then, his comparisons were just bokeh balls... interesting, but bokeh isn't just "bokeh balls".
BTW I'm not against crop cameras for certain situations. Like perhaps telephoto use or when you want a lot of DOF or something. I'll probably get a 7D II when it comes out (specs depending).
