Fringer Contax 645-GFX Smart Adapter Upgraded

There is a welcome Firmware upgrade for the Fringer Contax 645-GFX Smart adapter.

In short: you don’t need the GF 63mm anymore for the activation. All lens model recognized. Correct aperture/focal length info. Full EXIF support.

Fringer worked on the upgrade based from feedback he got from our (wonderful and gigantic) Fujifilm GFX facebook group. And remember: if all you want are fast news and rumors about Fujifilm GFX, then make sure to follow the Fujifilm GFX facebook page.

You can get the latest firmware at fingeradapter here and purchase the adapter here.

Matt Granger Reviews Fujifilm GFX 50s :: Leica M10 vs. X-T2 vs. GFX (High ISO) :: GF 110 + GF 23 Reviews and Shipping

Matt Granger GFX Review

Matt Granger just launched a new series of travel videos, where he reviews gear on the field (mattgranger.com/fieldtested). The opening episode features the Fujifilm GFX 50s (with GF 63 and GF 120) in Bhutan.

So he’s giving you nice mix between backround information and travel impressions about Bhutan and feedback about the Fujifilm GFX 50s. About the Fujifilm GFX 50s he says amongst the others:

  • hugely detailed files and lovely colors
  • Great showdow recovery
  • The current GF lenses might not seems ultra fast, especially if you are used to DSLR and you are used to F1.4 or F1.8. However, if you would get the GF lenses for portrait work, the lenses are actually great. Many FF lenses used at F1.4 tend to be not that sharp, have vignetting, not particulary contrasty (except there very top line and expensive ones) and due to the very shallow DOF it’s easy to misfocus the eye. The GF lenses Matt used (GF 63 and GF 120) seem to be designed for headshots. From the tip of the nose to the eye everything will be in focus, and then the lovely fall-off. Wide open GF lenses have no vignetting and sharpness is outstanding.
  • Weather sealing tested under rain. No moisture intruded. Works totally fine.
  • Low Light AF can take up to a full second, so he has missed some shots (NOTE: Fujifilm recently released a new firmware that improved AF speed in low light)
  • at 3 fps and with the huge files, it’s no speed monster
  • Currently limited lens selection

Check out the full video at Matt Granger Youtube and here are the sample images.

Fujifilm GFX 50s (Ken Wheeler) Vs. Sony A9 (Jason Lanier) Shootout :: Kevin Mullins GFX Review :: GFX Problem :: Fringer Adapter Available (GFX zone)

Ok… this is probably the first real life shootout between the Fujifilm GFX 50s and the Sony A9. And the guys engaged is this (friendly) battle are Ken Wheeler (the angry photographer) and Jason Lanier (a well known Sony Artisan). You can check out the shootout at Jason Lanier Youtube.

A quick note before I share the usual GFX roundup. Fringer Zhao notified us all here at the GFX facebook group, that his Contax 645 – GFX Smart Adapter is now available at fringeradapter. I already told you last week here, that it will come this week.

Latest FUJIFILM Earnings Report Says X-series, Lenses and Fujifilm GFX 50s Sell Strong. Imaging Solution “Substantial Increase in Income”

The full Fujifilm earnings report is finally out. And there are good news for X-series as well as GFX lovers. Here some excerpts.

The business of electronic imaging achieved a sales growth due to positive sales of the X Series of mirrorless digital cameras such as FUJIFILM X-T2 and FUJIFILM X-T20 as well as their interchangeable lenses, and strong sales of the FUJIFILM GFX 50S, a medium-format mirrorless digital camera equipped with a large sized sensor, released in February.”

The sales of the Imaging Solutions segment decreased, due to the negative effect of the appreciation of the Japanese yen in the foreign exchange market However its income grew thanks to the sales expansion of instant photo systems and digital cameras which are high-end models as well as improved profitability in various business categories. On the operation base, the segment enjoyed increased sales and substantial increase in income.”

In another report, they also mention the Fujifilm X100F and X-A3, as well as the MK Cine lenses

“In the electronic imaging field of the optical device and electronic imaging business, overall sales increased due to strong sales in FUJIFILM X-T2 launched in September 2016, FUJIFILM X-A3 and interchangeable lenses.

In addition, FUJIFILM GFX 50S, a medium format mirrorless digital camera, adopting a big sensor (43.8mm by 32.9mm) which was released in February 2017, together with FUJIFILM X100F and FUJIFILM X-T20 as the latest models of X Series which enables the prominent photograph image quality through its unique technology in re-generating original colors, led the sales increase.

In the optical device field, though the sales of camera modules for use in smartphones decreased, the Group is seeking to expand global market share of the cinema lenses with FUJINON MK18-55mm T2.9 , relesased in Februaly 2017, which has gained high reputation from the market for its advanced optical performance, ultra-compact and lightweight design, and excellent cost performance.”

The latest accounting errors do not seem to have a particulary huge negative impact, as we already reported earlier today here.

The Fujifilm GFX 50s High ISO is So Good that it’s Not Funny

guest post by Josselin C. // instagram: untitledshot

(Note : not sponsored by Fuji, just an honest opinion. I am coming from the Sony world, and still own a A7r2)

I took this 80MP composition last friday with the Fujifilm GFX 50s:

I am so impressed by the low light capabilities of this camera that I even did an how-to video explaining how this photograph was created :

Photographers that ever tried to catch the milky way in a middle of a city would know the challenges of capturing it in environment with high light pollution. It is one of those impossible shots that need really specific conditions to be obtainable. Lookup for “milky way Sydney” on Google and mostly all shots you will see are composite (e.g. milky way shot in one location added in Sydney) – well not in this case here.

I recently setup – after discussing with @apoapsisphotography and @clement_breuillea challenge to get the milky way in the middle of an highly populated city – during a light festival. Turns out, this place had to be Vivid Sydney (if you are in Sydney, go pay a visit, this is awesome).

When I acquired this camera, I didn’t know what to expect, or even, if I would keep it. I already own a marvel of engineering: the Sony A7r2. This camera never failed to deliver, even in some of the harshest and remotest places of this world. It also helped me win the french national awards of the Sony World Photo Organization and to be nominated Top 5 Travel Photographer by Australian Photography. I couldn’t be happier.
