Fringer EF-FX Smart Adapter

Fringer just uploaded this video demonstrating the use of the electronic aperture ring on ther Canon EF to Fuji FX smart adapter.

We already reported about Fringers EF-FX smart adapter in the past and we had several videos shared on FR showing for example the AF-C with the Sigma 30/1.4 (see video here), and also the Sigma 18-35mmF1.8 on Fujifilm X-T2 PDAF demo video here.

Just search for “Fringer” on FujiRumors, to see all Fringer related content.

Here is what they write regarding the electronic aperture ring:

Kaizen X-Pro2 Firmware

Ho, ho, ho… :)

Fujifilm just released a new Firmware update for the Fujifilm X-Pro2 (ver.4.00), and it’s well worth to be called a “Kaizen” update.

It adds several features to the X-Pro2, such as 4K video, new AF-tracking, tethered shooting, highglight blinkies, RGB histogram & more. Quite a step up for the 2 years old X-Pro2… and of course it comes for free for all X-Pro2 owners.
