Blackrapid or Sun-sniper. The latter actually has a lock on the camera connector that prevents it from coming loose unintentionally. I particularly like using them to hold a long lens by the lens foot. Then I can swap out to a wide angle lens and leave the telephoto hanging for easy access.
But all of these introduce extra points of failure, and I don't trust them without a hand on the camera at all times.

How official is that? I've heard many rumors from inside sources that are all over the map. For every "the S is dead" there's a "the S4 is coming with all new lenses". I personally believe the former, but I'm curious what your source is.
Quote from: o2mpx on May 18, 2024, 05:01:12 AMClearly there's no comparison in terms of build and user experience, but for practicality, many new buyers might opt for Fuji now?Not as far as I am concerned. Build, user experience and practicality are what attracted me in the HB system in the first place. Within my budget, I much prefer an X2d + 1-2 lenses (I have a 45P and 65) rather than a Fuji GFX with more lenses. GFX are certainly very capable tools, but I could not find any pleasure in using something as big, ugly, clunky and uninspiring. (You guessed- I shoot for fun, not for work.)
Quote from: Paul2660 on May 17, 2024, 08:03:07 AMThey all use the same base 100mp sensor as there has not been a new announced for years. Same sensor just different color filter arrays. A lot has been written on Jim Kassons site as to what Fuji really did with the sensor in the GFX100II. Boils down to not that much difference between it and other versions with the same sensor. Much was also written when the GFX100II was released that Fuji had had a completely new 100mp sensor made by Sony. Nothing has ever shown that to be the case and Sony has not mentioned a newer sensor in any of their sensor announcements.
Same with Hasselblad as their color filter array gives a base ISO of 64 inline Fuji's 80.
Sensor itself is excellent but it's been more than likely pushed to its max.
