FujiFilm GFX 50s: I Didn't Expect it Be Compelling - But It Is (to me)

I toyed with the purchase of a Contax 645 once; more recently I tested the Hasselblad X1D. Still, I left the world of full frame when I sold my Canon 5D II to step DOWN to an APS-C Sony a6300 and Micro Four Thirds Panasonic GH5, so I was pretty sure I'd find the GFX 50s unappealing. Especially since late last year I named the Sony a7R III - with full knowledge of the heresy I was committing -- my 2017 "medium format" camera of the year.

The GFX 50s surprised me.
