“This product is the 2nd generation adapter for mounting Canon FD mount lens on FUJIFILM X cameras. It is equipped with 4 groups of 4 focal reducer lenses that reduces the focal length to 0.726 times in the adapter, even with cameras adopting the APS-C size image pickup device, it is possible to shoot with the original full frame angle of view of the lens.”
Recently Florian suggested a Fujinon XF400mm F4 for wildlife photography.
As to expect, you guys discussed his idea, and made your own recommendations, which Florian now collected in the poll down below (thanks). Feel free to drop your vote.
DPReview tested the Fujifilm X-T3 capabilities and concludes that the X-T3 “lives ip to its impressive specifications“. You can check out their video related review here. Their key points:
stunning video that lives up to X-T3 impressive specifications
Zebras and magnification during shooting make it easier to capture footage
Video works well enough to be usable for all but the most critical work
Lack of in-body stabilization makes it a tripod or gimbal camera
Video AF: generally holding focus steady unless it finds itself with nothing it can focus on. With a little tuning we generally found we could get the result we wanted for a range of different shooting situations
The Movie Silent Control mode, while fiddly to use, makes the X-T3 one of the most pleasant cameras for shooting both stills and video on
The X-T3’s 4K appears a little more detailed than the 4K output of the Sony A7 III. 1080p output isn’t as impressive, though it’s more detailed than the A7 III’s footage. This advantage is maintained into the 120 fps mode
DPReview also allows you to compare the video stills studio test. Check it out here.

Max Yuryev says the Fujifilm X-T3 a phenomenal camera for video shooters. Some key points of the video we share below (or see directly on youtube here):
it’s handsome
kit lens feels so solid, very good performer
tally light when filming, so you know when it’s recording
eye detection during video is very impressive feature
so many video options
H265 codec needs lots of CPU power when editing on computer
Fringer just upload a video on his youtube channel (video above), showing the Face/Eye detection tracking using the Fujifilm X-T3 with Canon EF600/4L II adapted via Fringer EF-FX AF Autofocus smart adapter with firwmare ver. 2.50.
As you can see, the eye/face AF works really very well in his video demo. He writes:
“To my surprise it works incredibly well on X-T3 when doing AF-C tracking. I set X-T3 to AF-C mode, CH (11 fps) and Face/Eye detection on. The focusing object is a person riding a electric motorcycle moving fast towards the camera.
30 pictures were taken in less than 3 seconds. The focus areas were cropped at 100% scale and combined to the following picture“

“I also tested video mode Face/Eye tracking. Thanks to the great improvements of PDAF performance and coverage of X-Trans IV CMOS, both still and video mode works very well.
The new firmware ver 2.50 for Fringer EF-FX AF smart adapters will be out soon, and it will add support for Canon EF600/4L II.
And since we are speaking of Fringer adapters, check out also the latest reviews about the Fringer EF-FX Pro.

Randall Herrera Youtube – Fuji XT3 Eye AF (Part2) and Fringer adapter on Sigma 18-35 and XF35mmF1.4. Works much better on Fujifilm X-T3 than on Fujifilm X-T2. Sony still a tiny bit better.
The Spanish site Fujistas was at the Fujifilm GFX 50R launch event. They wrote about it on their blog here (translation), and amongst the others, they shared the following tidbits:
Fujifilm claims to be worldwide Nr.2 mirrorless camera manufacturer
they demonstrated the crop capabilities of the Fujifilm GFX 100 Megapixel camera and they were extremely impressed
If Fujifilm’s statement is correct, then Fuji surpassed Panasonic and Olympus, and, considering also DSLRs, they are now 4th behind Sony, Nikon and Canon.
Also, a few days ago we shared some Chinese Fujifilm media slides that showed us the details of the upcoming firmware update for Fujifilm GFX 50S. However, we struggled a bit with the translation.
Now Fujistas shared the English version of the slide (see above). The firmware update for Fujifilm GFX50S will bring the following new functions:
35mm Format Mode with GF lens and Fujinon HC lenses
