Large Format Is Still Completely Unrivaled: 8×10 Versus Fuji GFX 100 (5DS R & X1D II)

Written by Posted on Less than 0 min read

Previously, we compared a 4×5 film camera to the Canon 5DS R, and the film camera was able to produce incredible results.
In our latest video, Anete and I were testing an 8×10 large format film camera from a company called Intrepid Camera.
Personally, I was really interested to see how the GFX 100 compared against large format.
When it comes to the large format side of things, 8×10 is huge.
Exposure times can run away with you, and this is one of the major issues that can make shooting with large format inconvenient.
