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)

Hi, guys, here you can see one wedding shot with a combo of GFX & Xpro2
You can appreciate the GFX files by the DOF and quality of color rendering, and for the ISO, especially the last ones at Aguascalientes shot at 8000 ISO, the two last one in train station at 12800 ISO.
My style is photojournalistic, but I enjoyed using this camera in many moments, specially good when you have the couple in a controlled space ( getting ready moments, Ceremony, dance, or for the portraits ( outdoors or not )
Yes, I will use this camera in all my weddings this year.
