I want to save up some money to buy a GFX 50R (and most likely add some lens), and before I decide I'd love some owner's opinions.
I own a Nikon D700 which is very much loved but in my current life situation, I can't bring it with me with ease, and bringing a camera with me often is how I achieve the most productivity and my best pictures.
I also have a Pentax 645 but at the moment I have no possibility to build my own darkroom, and I don't live in a city where I can exactly "rent" a darkroom for a few hours per week. I have had bad experience sending rolls to companies and I'd like to avoid that in the future.
I'm a hobbyist, leaning more on landscape, portraits and "catching the right moment" than studio. I'm not into modern geartalk and only recently learned what e.g. IBIS is, but I understand basic camera and image quality (thanks dad). I feel and probably am quite oldschool, but now I desperately want to know if the Fujifilm GFX 50r could be it for me. The reasons I want it are: medium format, a relatively small weight for what it does, and price.
My dad collects a massive amount of old russian cameras and lenses, I have a mix of 100% manual russian lenses, some Pentax and a trusty AF Nikkor 50 mm 1.8. How can I know if some of these can be adapted to the GFX 50R? I understand that I'm supposed to get lenses that match the camera in quality (I will!), but for ten years I barely could afford to eat lunch and so have relied on dad, broken-then-fixed lenses and hand-me-downs. For nostalgic and attachment reasons, I'd be so happy if some of these lenses could work, especially my beloved manual Soviet Jupiter 37A 135 mm 3.5.
