Yes - not sure if it supports png though. I tested it with a jpeg - easy enough to convert.

Yes, very dependent on what you want to do with it. Personally, I dislike LR and ipads have no functional colour management ;-)

Glad it's of interest.

Most kind ;-)

Availability - Never seen any arches paper I'm afraid

Glad it was of some interest!

I wait until the printer is 'sure' - however, I'll likely not print important prints on the 'dregs' ;-)

@@KeithCooper Thanks for the reply, Keith. A few days ago I was subjected to a scare story about not leaving it too late because "air pockets".

Yes - my leaving the low cart is partly to get any others closer to replacement, since replacing one often has a cascade effect and I've replaced several. This is one aspect of the 200/300 I don't much care for

Actually, virtually no significant improvement [for myself] - yes, the IS might be a tad better and the viewfinder a bit sharper. I'll leave detailed testing to others, but I certainly wouldn't consider any of it a reason to update [YMMV]. Indeed, it makes a used mk1 100S even more enticing for the curious ;-) I only ever use the EVF when handheld - my eyesight makes the screen on the back about as useless as most phones are to me. That and I have not spent years getting a good stance for hand held just to hold the camera out in front of me to see the screen... ;-) If the DR is better, then my casual testing hasn't shown it in any meaningful way - I only have the mk2 here for a while though, so a rather limited set of testing in this case.

No idea - not something I've ever tested. I don't test non standard ink setups

Neither, if you are looking at the sort of printers and inks I test. Likely needs specialist inks and media

I don't have a TS-E45 here, however from my testing of the two previously [see my detailed written reviews], the TS-E50 is a distinctly better lens - bigger image circle and much less CA and distortion. At full shift there is relatively little vignetting on the 50 on the GFX. The TS-E45 wasn't an L lens - the differences were noticeable on my 5Ds and I would expect them to be even more so on the GFX100S. Some initial tests with the 50 on the 100S are very promising - especially when I had a go with the GFX set to a square crop ~75MP and a good field of view. I'll have plenty of examples for an article soon, and do a video to go with it. The only 'better' aspect of the TS-E45 is in the increased focus throw. The 50 needs careful focus at 100MP and it's easier with more focus ring throw at the infinity end - that and the 50 focuses past infinity [which is useful]

@@KeithCooper ​​⁠​​⁠thanks for your input. I own the 4 Nikon TS lenses and after switching to Fuji GFX bodies, I found that the Nikon 45 mm is the lens I use it most on that sensor size, whereas the 24 mm is the 2nd best. I wish my 24 mm would be vignette free than it is my 19 mm f4 but I think it is a matter of size. I not only use shift but also tilt mostly on both lenses, to extend depth of field on my landscape shots, so I get the most of these lenses on my compositions. I would love to buy the new Gf 30 mm f5.6 but it is out of stock and it seems it will continue off stock for a long time.

Yes, the PC-E lenses do suffer in some respects from being in the narrow F mount, but I recall the PC-E45 was good, but not up to the TS-E50

@@KeithCooper yes, Canon TS lenses have the advantage to the Nikon siblings because of their bigger mount size, which is better to prevent vignette issues. Another disadvantage of the Nikon TS lenses, except the 19 mm f4, is that the tilt button comes at 90 degree of the shift one, so in order to align both buttons the lens has to come back to Nikon service for factory rotation , a service that cost me USD 150, plus tax, per each lens, at Nikon USA in NY.

@@KeithCooper Every Canon EF and non-Canon EF mount lenses that I've tried on the GFX 100S with adapter show no vignetting in square, "1:1 Large" (33x33mm), including fisheyes - and in "65:24 Large" XPan panos (44mm wide). [For some very wide angle lenses, the petal shaped hood has to be cut off.] And Fuji's full, "Large" crops can be used to frame the exact composition in these chosen aspect ratios while shooting.

Yes, it is, but I don't have a limit on the size I'm afraid. I'd suggest asking on the printing forum at DPReview

@@KeithCooper Hi Keith, thank you for the answer. I just wanted to know if panoramic were possible without the roll paper device. I'm still not sure what to buy, Canon Pro 1000 (which is a bit old perhaps ?) or Epson P900, I try to compare.

The 1000 is indeed a bit old - likely to be available for at least a few months more...

@@KeithCooper Yes, but it's a good printer, may be we could get it for a good price

Glad to have helped! But... What software? What system? I always suggest initially printing with Epson Print Layout, a basic Epson paper, and a known test image - just to make sure things are working OK. Starting with a third party paper [no matter how good] is, I'd suggest, not optimal - how can you tell if stuff is working? Just too many variables.... so, lots of things could 'go wrong' ;-) See the main review. www.northlight-images.co.uk/epson-sc-p900-printer-review/

@KeithCooper Thank you for getting back to me, Keith. Since I didn't know what info necessary to ask it properly, I just didn't want to load my question with useless info. That's why it had to be a stupid question. I use Lightroom to print on my MacBook Pro (M2) with the most recent Sonoma 14.5 I have ViewSonic monitor but I guess it has nothing to do with it. About the paper, this is what I could find at the local store. I will watch your review again. Thanks...

BTW It's the written review, not the video. The detail is always in my written stuff - the videos are supplements ;-)

I thought you were talking about the 21 min. video! This review is amazing! I need to take my time to do my homework on the review. Thanks again.

Thanks - it's given me excellent service for lots of shots in factories and the like, 'inside' equipment, where the 'all over the place' legs have helped

Thanks

Definitions of unusable do vary widely, and depend a lot on what you want to do ;-) It's the lens choice which most affects my own work, but I still reckon the X1D mk2 is not a bad camera - YMMV ;-)

Good point.

Strangely enough - yes, and they are mentioned in the video :-) The video is about what such lenses can do [adapted or not] as well as pointing out some of the things peopke think they will do but won't...

Nice, but not likely for testing from me - I rarely ever do comparisons between single examples of a lens, but I don't have a 45mm and I got the TS-E50 because it is tilt/shift. Similarly, the Fuji 23mm is very nice [I've looked at it] but once again not relevant for any of my photography. I have a TS-E24 and it works just fine ;-)

@@KeithCooper Yes, that’s right, it’s more universal. For us, who are not picky about autofocus, this is a very worthy replacement from Canon. And they have the same price. If only Fujifilm would think about the price. Now I’m faced with choosing a fixed long lens for GFX, and again in favor of Canon. The small aperture GF TS 30/5,6. $$$$s that won't don't pass into aperture make Fujifilm tilt-shift lenses uncompetitive. We have them on sale.

Having profiled a lot of papers on a variety of printers, I'd say not that often ;-) The problem is that 'custom' media settings don't actually allow you to adjust much. Add to that the utter lack of info from the printer makers about the real differences between media settings, and much of it is guess work. This has been part of my 'feedback' to Canon and Epson for so long that I really ought to have some text ready to cut and paste... :-( The only times where I would make custom one are where there is quite a disparity between the media setting used and some physical characteristics of the paper, so on a larger printer, I might find that a 'lustre paper' setting works for profiling, but that native paper is much thinner than my media [glossy canvas springs to mind]. So, I might want to up the thickness [head height] and maybe change the paper vacuum or other physical settings. From a usability POV, a custom setting may also make it easier for less skilled operators to tend machines - but I don't run a print business...

@@KeithCooper Thanks Keith, it was something i had wondered about for a while. Seeing various people mention custom media setting for different 3rd party papers but not a whole lot of information as to what difference it was making from using the suggested ones. I suppose without knowing exactly what the default setting is doing its difficult to compare them.

Yes - I've written stuff about media settings over the years. Sometimes useful to experiment when profiling a new paper, but actually worth doing? Not that often... I've seen people doing it, because they want 'something' - this is 'something', so they do it... ;-)

Thanks - just going out to test the 50mm a bit. Well, at least I will when the rain stops... ;-)

I'd normally say jump forward then, or read the written article as well... www.northlight-images.co.uk/fujifilm-gf-110mm-ts-f-5-6-review/ However I just noticed that I'd not included the article link in the note - my apologies. My videos are usually supplements to the written articles, not the other way round. Also, I always assume that a not insignificant part of the audience for videos is asking why you would use such a lens...

@@KeithCooper I am not so sure -- and I beg your pardon if my comment eventually was too offensive-(... I would prefer a clear differenciation between fundamental stuff and precise gear reviews ... thank you an for your engagement and efforts

Thanks for replying - my videos are always aimed at a much wider audience than the written stuff, and I've long avoided overly 'technical' lens reviews since I don't have the equipment [and multiple copies of lenses required] for reviews like those by lensrentals, which are what I consider 'proper' technical reviews ;-)

@@KeithCooperin the end: what is the real advantage of the hyper expensive and very slow 110 5.6 vs the Canon ts e lenses? Cornered Sharon? better / lower field future

I've not the Canon ones to test, but from my testing on a 5Ds, they [90 and 135] were exceedingly good, and should have the coverage. At 2.8/4 they might also be more useful in some respects . It needs someone with proper lens testing equipment to find how good the 110 is. I was testing the TS-E50 on my GFX yesterday and it is stunning, with only a tiny bit of vignetting at full diagonal shift on the GFX, very sharp, contrasty and a bit of easily correctable CA. If I wanted longer T/S I think I'd buy a used 90 and 135 for the cost of the 110mm TS ;-)

It could be that there is no proper Mac driver Colour management is effectively broken on Macs for many smaller Canon printers I managed a workaround for a G5/650, but it's not an approach many could take www.northlight-images.co.uk/canon-g550-printer-review/

No more than you should use it for cleaning your hands Epson/Canon - little difference in reality

Yes - support thins out as you go down the line.

@@KeithCooper considering it's age the X-T1 is still a stellar camera for doing tether or other types of photography. Thanks Keith for monitoring the pulse of new developments. I will give this new Fuji app a try this weekend and if it can be used to remotely control the camera that would be very sweet indeed.

Yes, I've been spoilt in some respects, in that every Canon DSLR I've used in the past has had a version of EOS Utility providing tethering [for ~20 years]. I didn't get the GFX for that, but when I did try it I was a bit taken aback by the difficulties - hopefully fixed.

Thanks Yes - a good point. Having a stable white point is important.

Have you accidentally installed the airprint driver? Test with Epson Print Layout See the notes on this in my main written stuff www.northlight-images.co.uk/epson-et-8550-printer-review/

@@KeithCooper It's possible. I will have to go through a learning process as I am not familiar with Apple printing. But I am super happy with the printer. Prints come out great. They look like what I have on the computer and adjusting in Lightroom works in predictable ways, totally unlike cheap printers I have used in the past.

@@KeithCooper Thanks so much, it was on Airprint. I found your video on this problem. I removed printer, redownloaded Mac 14.x and in Add Printer it said Use EPSON ET-8550 Series. But that installed Airprint driver 3.0 again. Next time I went to Select Software and picked EPSON ET-8550 Series and this time it installed correct driver 13.05. I now see that is what the instructions say but I think it's bad programming to use the same name for different things. Thanks again, I will be watching all your videos on this printer!

Yes, there is that. I've seen some pretty impressive grain simulations though. I used DxO Film Pack to create some source patches for 'repairing' some scanned negs and with care the match was very good.

@@KeithCooper Thanks for the reference; I will give a try to DXO when I have the time. Anyway, as I go back to B&W film only from time to time, I think for the same money I will keep on exercising "full film process nostalgia". By the way, in my view, this is also the only reason why it can make sense to shoot film and then scan negatives.

look further! - it's likely you have installed the AirPrint driver by mistake. There is no reason to select A98 as a profile when printing anyway, but that's a whole different issue.. ;-)

@@KeithCooper ok sir When you leave the print, select the photoshop manage color option and enter the color profile as the printer profile to get the best color print.

Yes. Easiest way to avoid AirPrint the driver is to delete the current one and go to Epson.sn and do a full driver install, BUT read the instructions carefully.

Last year I moved to the GFX100S, giving me ~60MP and better pics from the crop mode. I've adapters for my TS-E24/17/90 all of which work in varying degrees with the full 33x44 medium format 100MP. Indeed I've just [yesterday] bought a TS-E50mm [video tomorrow] for both crop and non-crop use [AVR photography for the 35mm crop] Gives me ~40mm equiv on the GFX and goes well with the Fujifilm 30mm TS [~24mm equiv] I still use the 5Ds for some macro and close-up work - it just works. The 5DS R - a masterpiece of Canon marketing... ;-) A friend came up, with a 5DS R and TS-E50mm - we photographed some buildings and stuff with my camera and his... Afterwards, his comment was that he could have saved £200 and not noticed the difference See here www.northlight-images.co.uk/5ds-or-5ds-r-worth-the-extra-cost/ Remember that I only started the videos in mid 2020, after someone from Canon twisted my arm ;-) My written articles go back over 20 years. See here too for my proper [i.e. written] look at the R5 - this video was one of my very early ones! ;-) www.northlight-images.co.uk/looking-at-the-canon-r5-camera/

Thanks - I have covered most aspects... but if you think of anything, let me know!

Thanks - glad it was of interest

Thanks - a good tip

Print quality - with the right paper choices, yes, and some [where the pigment black is in the mix] better Longevity - I simply don't have any data, but I'd say similar

No, I'm afraid not With phones/ipads, good colour is a bit of a lottery - they essentially have no functional colour management in this respect

Looking at images on screen, I can see no significant difference - on print, there would be even less ;-) The viewfinder is nicer, but other changes [for the sort of work I do] are negligible. There are differences obviously, but fundamentally it's the same sensor and I rarely use autofocus ;-)

Thanks - You'll need to check the main [i.e. written] review and videos to see how I printed, it was quite a while ago, but didn't take any specific measures IIRC www.northlight-images.co.uk/canon-g550-printer-review/

Thanks!

Thanks

Thanks

No, but I've never been a printer user at commercial volumes of print

Thanks

The cut sheets of paper [deckle edged]

Yes, if you don't know why you need to clean or touch a bit, best to leave alone. I've seen many a printer broken by assorted incompetence/curiosity ;-)

Thanks

I often keep a stack of scrap/test prints on top to keep out dust For shaking the carts I have a twice yearly diary reminder to take them out and give a gentle shake to

@@KeithCooper thanks for this response.

Yes - I'm trying to keep it general and not specific to any one printer. The video is not really aimed at those wishing to know how a printer works ;-)

Great reply to that idiot trying to show you up Keith. Most people that have printers would just see it as a plastic belt. Thank you for keeping things simple. It's much appreciated be the majority of us. Keep producing these informative and very useful videos.​@KeithCooper

Yes - I've pulled them apart in some reviews, just to show what empty means...

Sorry - no. The printer was lent to me already iniitialised

Thanks - fixes many issues I had with the GFX
