No point in simply "finding a quiet corner and sobbing" Ray - if you REALLY want a GFX, then set yourself a goal and plan towards it. And there is a used market, certainly here in your old country, for the highly-respected GFX cameras.

Use the time to watch and learn from an excellent landscape pro over here who uses the GFX .......

And for interest - GFX lenses are difficult to understand at first for normal full frame and crop sensor users. Here's a good run down on them ......

It's very amusing to me about the crop factor. All formats have a crop factor regardless if it's bigger or smaller than the FF format.

I try to stay away from reading reviews for cameras I know I won't buy because of the price.

Thank you Craggy, that was very thoughtful of you! Actually my friend is a professional landscape photographer, and he's just about to buy one. (so I'm gonna play with that)! But I'm still going to have a look at the links you posted. Thanks again and have a great day!

I've wanted one for a long time! Soo, if you get one let me know. I'll come over about midnight. I'll be the one dressed in black and wearing a full faced mask!

Really, you believe in all that ? Clearly he’s best off finding a quiet corner and sobbing, exactly as he intends.

Remember the wise Chinese proverb:
“Two kidneys twice as better than one”.

LOL, pretty sure I can live with one GFX, and one kidney! (best of both worlds)! And by the way User, thanks for the suggestion, I hadn't thought of that!

No need to find a corner to sob. There are several digital camera's on the market that can match the specs on this camera for thousands less.
All it will take is a little time and effort on your part. So, get yourself out of that corner and start looking.

They really don’t retire. Too busy searching out the perfect goat locker.
