Testing the Fujifilm GFX in Extreme Conditions, Hcam Double Shifter for GFX, and Stunning Fujifilm Medium Format Images
Fujifilm GFX is Tough (Tougher Than Sony ;) )
We already reported here, how the Fujifilm GFX 50S faced an extreme blizzard, and came out with absolutely no problems ;).
And knowing that the Fujifilm GFX it’s so tough, also our fellow GFX owners at the facebook group are not scared to use it under extreme conditions.
John Rourke for example is not afraid to let his Fujifilm GFX in the snow, as you can see here. Here is what he says about his GFX.
“still shooting strong on everyday temperatures of -8 to -17 in Switzerland“.
Another GFX shooter, Graham Welland, took it out in the rain forest. He shares his experience here.
“Weatherproof testing in the rain forest, literally pouring rain and dripping camera.
Only problem area was the EVF. A drop of water blocked the eye sensor enough that the LCD flipped to the EVF. Took a minute to work out what had happened (ie camera hadn’t failed) and once I soaked that up we were back in action.”
Looks like the Fujifilm GFX is tougher than the Sony A7RIII, which failed in a recent weather sealing test made by imaging-resource here on youtube.
Hcam Double Shifter
Our Fujifilm GFX group is also a great resource to find any GFX related news, and inspiration of content not only for FujiRumors ;) .
Today we say thanks to Hcam manager Stefan Steib, who informed us in this GFX facebook post of January 22 about the new Hcam Shifter. Full details in this Hcam facebook post.
“For all the Fuji GFX Users –
here is our proposal for a double shift version with tilt –
using Mamiya 645, Pentax 645/ 67 or Hasselblad V/F lenses.
It´s a combination of our DRS Shifter for GFX
plus the perfectly matching Mirex M645, P645/ 67
or Hasselblad V/F adapters.
The Kitprice for both adapters is 1695,-€ for all versions.
For more infos please PM me at s.steib@hcam.de“
Of course Stefan is actively replying and answering all the questions regarding this adapter, so feel free to join the discussion here.

One of my favourite images captured in Antarctica with the GFX50s partnered with a 150-600mm Tamron. Not an easy task without auto focus but I nailed it after many attempts

Testing out the focus ability on the GFX50s with the 32-64mm at 32mm, got in nice and close to the dead trees in Patagonia for some natural framing.
BTW really enjoying this group, refreshing to find intelligent engagement.
Question, has anyone tested the Techart Canon EF Lens to Fujifilm GFX Autofocus Adapter (EF-GFX) have heard the Canon EF 17–35mm lens is super sharp with almost zero vignetting.
