Fringer Smart Adapter Pro: Sigma 150-600 on Fujifilm X-T2 PDAF Autofocus Video Demo (Firmware 1.40)

Back in late January, Fringer released the Canon EF to Fujifilm X smart adapter, which sold out within a few hours. They now expect new stock in late March / beginning of April.

But you can pre-order it at fringeradapter now, and the next batch will be delivere on a first comes first basis.

In the meantime, Fringer keeps up demonstrating the capabilities of its adapter.

This time we see how fast the autofocus is with the Sigma 150-600 on the Fujifilm X-T2. Looks really good with the new Firmware 1.40 :)

You can see the video at fringer’s youtube.

A Democratic Gear Travel Choice

This Saturday, it is time to make shameless use of this blog and of your time for a very personal reason: my upcoming trip to Rome!

First: I hope not to get sick, since both my brothers, their wifes and kids and my mother are really sick right now. As the only fit person of the family, in these days I’m taking care of all of them as good as I can. Family first… I can handle Rome also with fever ;).

Second: after cancelling my Christmas holidays as well as my winter holidays in February because of the X-H1 rumors and announcement, I decided to risk it again, and booked a travel after Rome, which, if I don’t have to cancel it again, I will eventually let you know about later.

Anyway, now it’s Rome time, 3 days. And I have already asked the FR-community which lenses and cameras I should take with me on my travel.

The feedback was massive, and there are so many different views and opinions, that I’m somehow still a bit confused.

So I decided to make one thing: for the first time, there will be a 100% democratic camera and lens choice. So you guys vote the poll, and whatever wins, I’ll take it with me to Rome.

Do I have personal favorites? You bet!

There is especially one lens I do hope will make it into the top 3. And I do have a favorite camera. But I won’t say it, because I don’t want to influence your vote. I will respect the poll results and take the gear you decide with me.

I will take only one camera 3 lenses. But in order to make your choice even more difficult, I will allow you to select only 2 lenses ;)

The only thing that comes for sure with me for now, is my lovely and light Sirui T-025x Carbon Fiber Tripod.

Any Other Rome Tips?

Of course, also some photographic tips are welcome in the comments.

Last time when I asked for help to photograph Prague, I was astonished by how kind and helpful the FujiRumors community was. Some even draw maps for me and recommended lenses, locations and time (see image above).

Even tips for restaurants in the city center / Trastevere are highly welcome.

I really feel lucky to be part of this community :) Thanks guys!!!!
