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)

Photokina Will Take Place Every Year Starting From 2018!

Good news everybody!

Starting from 2018, the Photokina will take place every year (currently it’s every 2 years). The imaging world is changing quickly, and so it’s a good thing that the most important photography fair, the Photokina, keeps up with the rapidly innovating market by offering yearly events.

However, it will be shorter (from Wednesday to Saturday).

I have been to Photokina 2016, and it was definitely my “blogger-photographer highlight” of 2016 (but I had also bad moments, as you can read here).

Sadly, my school principal didn’t allow me more than 2 days off, so I was stressed like a penguin at the equator to run around and check out all the photographic goodness in such a shot time… but it was worth everything! In fact, I had serious problems to teach again, after these wonderful 2 days.

I want to be there also in 2018… again anonymous… but if somebody organizes a Fuji photowalk, I’ll be there.

I will also pass you the email of my principal, so you can Spam her and tell her you won’t stop it, until I get all days off for photokina :)
