Contrast Detect AF is usually slower but is accurate, my GFX50S had it, I must admit I like AF on digital cameras, it suits my workflow. I used a friends Q2M and directly compared it against the GFX50S, very similar but the Q2M edged it on mid distance detail which is what I would expect.

It will be interesting to see how the AF works (hybrid system). Being a BSI sensor, it should have slightly more Dynamic Range than teh Q2 Monochrom, though how thsi will pan out in teh real world only time will tell. I'm quite happy with the mono's out of the colour version so I won't be investing!

It won't just be lens variation, but the backfocus variation as well, due to the tolerances on both the lens mount and film plane, hence one lo-fi camera can produce very different images to the next one.

Gold in 120, ia a bit of a bargain price colour film especially when compared to Portra, the results are far better than they deserve to be! - its become my goto 120 colour filmstock

I've had several 1 x 240 Saloon, 2 x 240 Estate and a 265 Estate, all were really cheap and did their jobs well. Used the 265 to pull out a large overgrwon hedge!! The 240 Saloon got hit on the windscreen pillar by a brick falling off a lorry (65mph on the M1), it just shrugged it off 😀

Good call, because even if a new Q3M does come out, I would expect it to be north of £6500 which means that Q2M's won't take much of a hit. Enjoy your new camera

Interesting, it is difficult to move on from Fujifilm, the tactile feel and handling along with decent optics always have drawn me in (and back in!). After a flirtation with a GFX, I eventually went to the Leica world, not cheap but very satisfying. I hope the SOny works out for you.
