Fringer NF-GFX Smart Adapter Almost Ready and Video Demo

The development of Fringer NF-GFX smart autofocus adapter is almost complete. Now it’s in the beta stage and will be released soon.

Fringer also shared a video showing the Finger NF-GFX at work.

Here are the key features:

  1. Built-in aperture motor. Support electronic aperture control for both mechanical and magnetoelectric aperture lenses (AF, D, G, E lenses).
  2. Autofocus (AF-S & AF-P lenses only). Support phase detection AF (on GFX100/100S and optimized lenses only).
  3. Build-in lens profiles. Support LaCA correction (optimized lenses only). Support vignetting and distortion correction (selected lenses only).
  4. Support lens VR or IBIS (not at the same time). User selectable.

Fringer adapters can be ordered at B&H Photo, AmazonUS and Adorama.

New Images of Fujinon GF30mm f/5.6 Tilt Shift and GF110mm f/5.6 Tilt Shift Macro

At the very end of the last Fujifilm X Summit, there was that “one more thing” moment, and this time Fujifilm decided to show us mockups of the Fujinon GF30mmF5.6 Tilt shift lens and Fujinon GF110mmF5.6 Tilt Shift Macro lens.

We reported about it here already.

One might remember that already back in September 2021 Fujifilm showed us the mock up of one of those lenses, but at that time it was still an f/4 lens, the Fujinon GF30mmF4 tilt shift.

That mockup showed a was rather hefty lens, so I guess that in order to save size and weight (and to make it more affordable), Fujinon redesigned it to be an f/5.6 lens.

A good decision in my eyes, as the new hands on images that now appeared (see them below) over at digitalcameraworld, show a definitely smaller lens.

The Fujinon GF30mmF5.6 T/S lens will appeal particularly to architecture and inferior design photographers whereas the GF110mmF5.6 T/S Macro to food and product photographers.

Fujifilm X-H2, X-H2S and X-T4 Autofocus Performance Comparison Sheet (and X-H2 Beats X-H2S in One Aspect)

Fujifilm has shared a data sheet with a rough autofocus comparison between the Fujifilm X-H2, Fujifilm X-H2s and Fujifilm X-T4.

It does not really tell us much, but it is interesting to note that at its best, all cameras can focus at 0.02 sec. A limitation that is given by hardware (moving the lens elements etc). And of course the X-T4 of course lacks of subject and animal tracking features.

Other than that, whenever something is moving, the Fujifilm X-H2S has the upper hand due to its stacked sensor design.

However, there is one aspect, where the Fujifilm X-H2 beats the Fujifilm X-H2S, and that’s “high frequency subject“. The reason for that is simple and Fujifilm explains it below.

X-H2’s higher pixel count increases the number of phase detection pixels, which improves AF-S focusing accuracy on subjects including landscapes and portraits. The camera also incorporates an improved AF prediction algorithm, newly developed for the X-H2S, enabling stable focusing even when using AF-C. The X-H2S excels in moving object tracking utilizing the performance of the stacked sensor, while the X-H2 excels in accurate AF for static subjects.

So there is an advantage also in having many more phase detection pixels packed closer together into a higher megapixel camera.

Fujifilm Updates List of Recommended CFexpress Cards for Fujifilm X-H2 and X-H2S

With the announcement of the 8K capable Fujifilm X-H2, Fujifilm has updated the list of compatible and best recommended CFExpress Type B Cards.

But attention, not all CFexpress Cards are made equal:

  • Some CFexpress Type B Cards can’t record 6K/4K
  • Some can record 6K/4K but not in ProResHQ
  • Some can record all video formats, but when used for bursts don’t last as long as others
  • Only 11 Card Models can do it all and can do it best

Out of all the cards mentioned above, these are the cards without any compromise in performance at all:
