One charm of this camera is surely its beauty, so much so that it's keeping up with the beauty of Barbora herself, and they look a perfect match together.
But what is really important is under the skin (I'm talking about the camera now), and I will explain on Monday in more detail.

This photo was shot with the Fujifilm GFX 50S II + "Martin" (the Zeiss T* 1,4/85mm Planar ZF named after the Patron that sponsored part of the purchase), and you can appreciate an amazing level of detail at ISO 200.
Zoom in on 3 areas in particular:
- the nearest eye of Barbora with the blue color, the small veins, the blond eyelashes;
- the camera, especially the details in perfect focus, and see if you can identify it;
- the fabric on the chair GRADUALLY fading out of focus.
And this is the signature of a great lens, contrary to what is currently demanded by ignorant influencer.
Modern lenses, also the very expensive and sought after, tend to shift in and out of focus abruptly, as demanded by the market rules, to isolate the subject and even sharper than necessary.

The Mysterious Camera is going to face a tough comparison, but might have a unique selling point to her advantage...

Great shot. Not the camera I was thinking of. The camera I was thinking of, the Sony a7C II, I just learned is more geared toward videographers than photographers, if I'm not mistaken.

The font on the ISO and shutter speed dials are a giveaway that it is a Leica (or trying to look like one). A rangefinder, no less - M11-P?

My first Sony (first A7) was such a disappointment, that it is unlikely I will ever buy another one, even if lately I have reassessed it's merits as a compact beater camera...

Good guess, and an exclusive Leica in it's own right, but the model I've selected is even more absurd and nonsensical, for most people. Appointment for tomorrow with the final reply.
