Venus Optics Announces World’s First Lens Adapter that Enlarges Image Circle of FF Lenses for Vignetting-less Use on Fujifilm GFX 50S

Venus Optics just announced an adapter which allows to use Full Frame Canon EF and Nikon AI lenses on the Fujifilm GFX 50s. But it’s different from the existing products (Fotodiox / Kipon) in the market.

Because of the smaller image circle for DSLR FF lenses, when you use FF on GFX with an adapter, there can be more or less vignetting. However, Venus Optics has included glasses into their adapter which can enlarge the image circle of the FF lenses and so it can be used with GFX even with the wide angle lens without vignetting.

However, keep in mind that “it has a focal length multiplier of 1.4x and reduces the maximum aperture by 1-stop.”… which makes it a teleconverter/adapter.

Their are looking for beta testers… more below in the official press release (dowload RAW files)

​This brief article is to share my Fuji X-T2 settings for wedding photography and I hope you’ll find it useful.

I switched from Canon to Fuji for my wedding work because I was looking for a lighter, more portable alternative to my DSLR’s that wouldn’t wear me and my back out during the marathons that have become wedding shoots. Weight was becoming a serious issue for me with my Canons and thankfully this last generation Fuji APS-C X-Trans sensor seems to perform well enough in terms of resolution, noise (lack of), latitude and high ISO capabilities to output excellent results in a light and compact package: small sensor means small lenses and all that comes with it. Also, with this last iteration Fuji X cameras have gotten a lot better in terms of controls (exposure compensation dial and focus point selection joystick above all), features (double memory slot) and software and have become great tools suitable for professional use during weddings.

What happened then is, I switched for the size and weight and got hooked by the shooting experience. These Fujis are really fun to use and – once you get used to them – they are also practical and quite functional. These cameras are very versatile and offer a lot room for customization. Depending on your style of shooting and type of photography, there’s a lot to work on as far as setting up the cameras to get them to perform in a way that is suitable to you, your work flow and the results you’re after.

Ok, I’ll admit it… sometimes I wake up, in the middle of the night, after having had a crazy dream. I dream I’m selling all my X-gear and buy the X100F with TCL and WCL… and that’s it.

And you know what? The more I think about it, the more I like this idea. I guess that, at this stage, it’s only the Fujifil X-E3 that keeps from doing the switch to the X100F.

The X100F with TCL/WCL would be such a wonderful and light mini system… so should I switch? And which color? I’d get it in silver. I think that rangefinder cameras with OVF look better in silver, whereas those with EVF only (like the X-E line) look better in black.

And now, after this confession… a bunch of X100F links :)
