🔵 FUJIFILM GFX50R Best Adapted Lenses! 😃

[@dolittle7593]

Hi glad seeing you're trying on gfx 50r, I couldn’t work it out when adapting vintage lens on this camera - it wouldnt let me fire the shutter? But as soon as i switch back to its original lens its fine. Is there any setting on this camera i should be mindful about when adapting vintage lens please?

[@TylerMcCool]

yes it is in the video.. turn on 'shoot without lens'

[@mlacmi4470]

This is a shot in the dark considering the age of this video, but do these lenses vignette with IBIS activated on the newer GFX cameras?

[@onapersonalnote7045]

I actually experience less vignetting with the 50SII compared to the 50R

[@MikeLikesChannel]

For me, Pentax 645 75mm f/2.8 and 150mm f/3.5. Amazing how affordable, small and capable they are. The only native GF lens I own is the 50mm

[@Necronomicon08]

Hi Ken, has you now tested other adapters ?

[@Massproduce201]

Do you see these bodies going down in price any time soon??

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

they already have, its ON SALE NOW

[@Muchtoobizy]

I recently bought a used, mint condition GFX50R for $2000 USD. Excellent value for a camera with such a large sensor.

[@Massproduce201]

@@Muchtoobizy That’s more along my budget man congrats!!!

[@Muchtoobizy]

@@Massproduce201 I would highly recommend this camera, especially at that price. I was surprised to find that it even has Fuji's Classic Neg Simulation, which gives fabulous results, particularly on wider angle daytime cityscapes etc.

[@Massproduce201]

@@Muchtoobizy You must’ve acquired it locally because I see them going for 3k used??

[@mougabo]

what do you think of Leica M lenses with this system?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

i have and use several with it

[@mougabo]

Theoria Apophasis do you crop a lot in order to avoid the vigneting?

[@jamesclimaco5219]

@@mougabo no need to crop if you change the setting to 35mm mode

[@sloemo4024]

Have you tried the Pentax Takumar 200mm f3.5 on gfx?

[@mautsukuda]

How is the Voigt 58 1.4 on the X-T2? I'm wondering if I should keep it once I switch to FUJI.

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

you SHOULD keep that lens, its excellent on the fuji

[@mautsukuda]

@@KenTheoriaApophasis awesome. Thanks Ken!

[@rm1681]

Have you tested the NIKKOR 60mm 2.8D?

[@elit7538]

Ken if using adapted non medium format lenses will some portions of the medium format sensor not be utilized?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

depends on the lens, on THESE, it covers the whole sensor

[@elit7538]

@@KenTheoriaApophasis thanks for the confirmation Ken..if it is using the whole sensor, will the voigt 58mm have a wider the field of view when used in medium format compared to full frame?

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

yup its capturing MORE of the image circle of projection

[@ovejorro5428]

​@@KenTheoriaApophasis I have tested the Zeiss 135mm F2 on the GFX50SII and I get strong vignetting. Cropping a bit is necessary!!!

[@emofunster]

Thank you Ken, will the zeiss 135 on the 50r on tripod be front heavy or I should not worry?

[@svtk5104]

Zeiss 35mm f2 Distagon is better on D850 or on gfx 50R? After this video I suppose the 58 1.4 Voigt is better on the gfx? I am not 100% sure, but on a first sight I do not like the colours of Fujifilm, even the gfx. Similar to the Sony "magic". Leica seems to be the best, then some Nikons (I have the D700 - generally happiest camper, but I am looking for better micro contrast/ tonality camera wise. Plus some resolution more for some of the images)...

[@tb8025]

Sorry for that unprofessional Question. This Video is from 2018. So, I am interested in the most fast lens for GFX 50s, that is Working very well. So first Question, a original Fuji 110mm F2.0 is in practice the same fast than a Voigtlander 58mm 1.4? Or is a Mitakon 'Speedmaster' 35mm or 50mm f/0.95 the Choice for GFX. Or the Voigtlander 40mm f1.2? I watched so much Videos, but in Fact of the Timeline I can´t make a needful decision. Or is there another option? For me it seems that my 110mm f2.0 is not that fast that it could be. I want to shoot in Low-Light situations. Thank you very much!

[@sternschnupper]

an f2 lens is an f2 lens on every system. so any f1.4 lens will be faster then any f2 lens. simple as that ;)

[@happythec1am]

Great tip on removing the body cap!

[@jkdrake1]

greetings, have you tested any cinema lenses such as the sigma line? Is there a rule of thumb when it comes to adapting lenses such as a focal range to stay above?

[@manuelvelez2540]

I get vignetting on the 58mm and 50r on that same adapter. Wonder if there is something wrong with my adapter.

[@TOShorts]

I get vignetting too. Not sure why he doesn't

[@cryptmaster09]

Have you encountered issues while using focus peaking for adapted lenses ? Any tips around that. Also would love to know what you think about wide angle M mount lenses on GFXs. Thank you !!

[@koryeasterday5164]

Focus peaking is done entirely in the camera body. There shouldn't be an issue using any lens and focus peaking.

[@curtisp471]

I have read that the GFX has a 9 mm sensor filter stack thickness. Therefore I don't think you'll get very good results with most adapted lenses that are even somewhat wide angle.

[@bikegypsy268]

Thanks for this Ken. Any opinion on using a wide angle zoom on the GFX? Like the Nikon 16-35 or the Tamron 15-30?

[@adtiletile]

Ken, what're your thoughts about the Fuji 10-24mm f/4?

[@tonywhitmarsh]

Any image samples from these lenses Ken? Curious about the Nikkor 55mm since I own one.

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

that lens doesnt render good enough on the sensor for optical reasons, not coverage reasons

[@Narsuitus]

Here are my favorite full-frame prime lenses: 14mm f/2.8 Nikkor auto focus 21mm f/1.4 Summilux (M-mount) 28mm f/2 Zeiss Distagon (Nikon F-mount) 35mm f/1.4 Zeiss Distagon (M-mount) 50mm f/1.4 Takumar 8-element (M42-mount) 55mm f/3.5 Nikkor macro 85mm f/1.4 Nikkor auto focus 105mm f/2.8 Nikkor macro 135mm f/2 Zeiss Sonnar (Nikon F-mount) 180mm f/2.8 Nikkor How well do you think these adapted lenses will work on a Fuji GFX 50R?

[@moiaccaunt]

Have you tri3d any of thisnl3nses onngfx? Which one are covering the sensor?

[@Narsuitus]

@moiaccaunt I have the lenses. I do not have the body. Looking for advice to help me decide if the body will work with my lenses.

[@ilovebohol]

Just got my 50R yesterday and took me the whole night finding the menu option to release with adapted lenses. Lol. Wish I show this video first haha. Love my zeiss 135.... too bad my voigtlander is the 50 1.1 which I decided to not adapt for the gfx.

[@doughowell3171]

Ken, could you talk about how big of a print one could print with the Fuji medium format?

[@chloescanlon1107]

That'll be a (I don't talk to the unwashed general public) no then.

[@Jimbojam]

its easy to calculate. photo quality prints typically are 300 dpi. divide the image size by 300 and it will tell you how big of a photo quality print will be. Mine yields image size of 8256 x 6192. so that would be 27 x 20. if you went down to 200 dpi, for viewing at a distance, let's say, on a wall, then you could get a 41 x 31. at 150 dpi you could get a 55 x 41. so the bigger you make it, the further the viewing distance would be, the less dpi you need. I see that you waited 3 years for this answer. I hope you are smiling now.

How easy is to nail the focus at widest aperture with these 2 lenses? -Voigtlander 58 mm f1.4 -Zeiss APO Sonnar 135mm f2 The DOF must be very shallow. Is it easy to do?

[@ilovebohol]

It's easier compared to my a7riii.... although I still have to spend more time with it but initial experience and review tell me it is easier compared to the Sony. Also the focus peaking is also more accurate and detailed compared to the Sony which from time to time missing it. Hope that helps.
