FUJIFILM medium format bodies have attracted quite the cult following and for good reason. Their latest flagship model in the GFX range is available for purchase, but how does it hold up in street photography?

The FUJIFILM GFX100 II is the latest in the GFX line-up and it has some Fuji disciples drooling over it. Ever since the launch of the original GFX100, I have been enamored with the range and I shoot with my GFX 50R regularly. The 50R was the second medium format body I bought after an old Hasselblad, but I love the look and feel of shooting with that large sensor size. So, why did I say “how does it hold up in street photography?”

Well, medium format shooting (and I’ll leave the debate of whether the GFX is “true” medium format for the comments) is generally a much slower workflow. Medium format bodies are rarely intended for use as a sports photography camera, but rather studio work, architectural, and landscape. Street photography can be slow and considered, but often, you need to snap quickly and be on the move. So, this video by Tyler Stalman puts the GFX100 II through its paces more than you might expect of a street photography test shoot!
