Steelsring Canon EF to Fujifilm GFX and C645-GFX Smart Adapter Firmware 1.2 Available

Today Steelsring released a firmware udpate for its Canon EF to Fujifilm GFX and also 645-GFX smart adapters.

Ver. 1.2 removes Fujifilm’s lens corrections profiles.

“It’s my honor to announce the immediate available of EF/GFX 1.2b and CONTAX645/GFX 1.1b firmware update, both of them have a common feature: Original Lens Correction Profile inherited from FUJI lens emulation was finally removed successfully and completely. For more information, please click here.”

I remind you that also Fringer updated it’s C645-GFX smart adapter yesterday, as reported in the Fujifilm GFX roundup here. Also in this case, Fujifilm lens correction is disabled.

For the range finder camera such as Leica, the M mount interchangeable lens has a relatively shortest shooting distance, but the shortest shooting distance can be shortened by using a helicoid equipped adapter. As SHOTEN LM – FX M ‘s payout width is 6 mm, it can be drastically shortened, making it possible to take’ Leaning ‘with Leica M mount lens.

Fringer Firmware Update

FRINGER Press Release: “V2.3 firmware is avaliable now. It disables in-camera lens correction which let to severe distortion when connecting Contax 645 lenses to GFX50s using Fringer smart adapter. Please download the firmware v2.3 and upgrade your adapter according to the steps in user manual (section 6). […] 

As you know, Fujifilm lenses largely depend on software corrections. Whatever the file format you use, i.e. JPG or RAW, you cannot switch it off. Even in the view finder you can only see the after-correction results. Since currently all the smart adapters in the market are impersonating a G mount lens, the in camera lens correction severely disturbed the adapted lenses’ output.

Now, we totally solved the problem and integrated the solution in the firmware ver2.3. After upgrading your adapter, the Fujifilm’s lens correction would be disabled in the view finder and the JPG or RAW files the camera produces.
