Amid all the talk about full-frame digital photography, we seem to have lost track of the fact that 35mm (36x24mm) film used to be called ‘small format,’ and medium format cameras accepted exactly the same film emulsions but with much larger frames.
In 2023, a medium format mirrorless camera such as the Fujifilm GFX100 II has a sensor that measures 43.8x32.9mm – that means its sensor is around 1.7x the size of a full-frame sensor, which brings many benefits.
As the images from the GFX100 II consist of up to 11648x8736 pixels, they can make prints of just under an impressive 1 metre
