Cambo Lens Adapter for Fujifilm GFX50s

Cambo CA-GFX for fuji gfx50s

Today Cambo announced a new lens adapter to fit Canon lenses to the Fujifilm GFX50s.

The CA-GFX will be the third Canon lens adapter that Cambo have manufactured and marketed for camera movement. Having successfully adapted Canon lenses to the Cambo ACTUS (ACB-CA) and more recently the WIDE series camera (WRES-CA.) It was a natural transition to manufacture the adapter as it gives many photographers the option of using their existing lenses with the latest mirrorless, large sensor, Fujifilm GFX50s (CA-GFX.)

Cambo CA-GFX Adapter

The CA-GFX adapter fits directly to the bayonet of the GFX camera body and the lens aperture is controlled electronically when dialling in the required f-stop. As there is no direct connection between lens and body, there is no data received; aperture, auto-focus or EXIF, from the lens.

Why make this lens adapter?

The Fujifilm GFX50s sensor measures 33x44mm and Canon lenses such as the 17mm T-SE and 24mm T-SE have very large image circles, they will cover the sensor size and will enable the photographer to apply movement.

LEAKED: Fujifilm Instax Square Images (Instax Square SQ10)… with Huge LCD screen on the Back

Share

So guys, these could be the first images of the Instax Square… or at least one of the Instax Square version, the Instax SQ10

Take it with a grain of salt for now, but if you compare it to the Instax Square teaser video that Fujifilm released months ago, where you can see small details of the camera, this leaked image really looks very close to it.

Note the big screen at the back and the six buttons… something seems to be quite different compared to other Instax cameras… are we all having the same thought right now, right? :)

I guess that, like with all instax models, we will see many variations of the Squre Instax cameras and in all possible colors. Instax is a winner, and it’s years now that Instax dominates the sales ranking. As also said in a recent documentary about Fujifilm, the Instax factory can’t keep up with the demand.

The wait seems to be almost over :-)

stay tuned,

New Firmware for Fujifilm X-T2, X-T1, X-Pro2 and EF-X500 Coming (Flash Bug-Fix)

Share

I recently told you that Fujifilm is about to release a new firmware update for several Fujifilm cameras. We all hoped from some nice Kaizen update, but it seems we will have to wait a bit longer, since this will be a mere bug fix update.

According to a trusted source (thanks) the next update will fix the bug on the EF-X500, that caused it to completely turn off erroneously.

To fix this bug, Fujifilm will release a new firmware for the flash. You will be able to perform the upgrade by yourself, using your X-T1, X-T2 or X-Pro2, but you will have to update the firmware on these cameras first, too.
