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.

Shooting hummingbirds with the Fujifilm GFX 50s at ironcreekphotographyblog – he’s also a Phase One XF user (and ambassador I think), and he compares the GFX to the Phase One XF.

Killer combo: GFX 50s + Capture One Pro 10
I posted this pic 3 months ago. The Super Fine JPG file could show the hairlines of fireworks. With Capture One Pro 10, it can extract even the micro hairlines between hairlines!
Lens: GF32-64 @32mm
[Fujifilm manager says] I want to urgently expand the lens lineup [NOTE: check out the secret GF lens roadmap leaked back in April]
[Fujifilm manager says] I’d like to first use a resource for developing a telephoto lens and developing a teleconverter
[Fujifilm manager says] Regarding the body, I would like to correspond as much as possible to the part that can be solved with firmware, including the speed of AF and shooting function

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
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.

Fujifilm GFX 50S ~ My little Review by Kevin Mullins at f16.click – Great images and honest write up by Kevin Mullins. The GFX is an incredible camera that delivers stunning images, but not the camera that Kevin needs for his style of shooting.
