    Cheap lenses on the Fuji GFX 100 / 50R

    In: Cameras

    Posted

    Hi Andrew,

    If you couldn't tell I'm an old stills shooter.
    I have soo many different systems, it's crazy, I don't sell or trade, I just keep buying, shrug.

    Anywho I really need to revisit these, as I haven't used my GFX50R in several months now.
    Earlier this year,  got a great deal on a super low shot count Mamiya DM33 digital back and plate for my Mamiya RZ67.
    Been really diggin' that setup.
    Then I figured, I already have these M645 lenses, might as well get an M645 body to go with the digital back and lenses, no?
    So I have been using my Phase One DF+ and Mamiya DM33 digital back for several months now.

    Oh, and I got into video for my niece and family events, for me starting with the Panasonic GH4.
    My niece now uses that body, as I got the GH5 when released, and still use it today.

    I really have enjoyed learning all of the video stuff.
    Especially from helpful people here on EOSHD, I have learned a LOT, and still learning.

    Thanks to everyone here!

    Cheap lenses on the Fuji GFX 100 / 50R

    Just for information, not showing off, hopefully someone will find it useful?

    My brief run through of my old lenses on my GXF 50R, like discovering old lost treasure.

    I have tried my manual Mamiya 645 lenses on my GFX 50R via Mirex Tilt/Shift EF/M645 adapter, then another adapter for EF/GFX.
    Yes, a round about way, but it seems to works okay.  I may get a simpler adapter in the future?
    - 120/4 macro works great.
    - 35/3.5 N works great.  The 35/3.5 N focuses pretty dang close.
    - 80/1.9 N works great.
    - 55/2.8 N works great.
    - 145/4 Soft Focus works great.

    Quick test of Contax Yashica Ziess lens with a Canon EOS-EF adapter.via the TechArt Pro EF-GFX adapter, 
    - 35/1.4 CYZ - very slight soft vignette,
    this lens is also amazing close focus on the 50R.
    I see this one is going to be another rediscovered treasure gem.
    Sure to be used often.
    - 35-70/3.4 Macro CYZ - Starts vignetting anything lower than 50mm.
    Progresses to total tunnel vision super hard at 35mm.
    However in macro mode, NO vignette, amazing, also amazing close focus in macro mode.
    - 100/2 CYZ - non macro model - imperceptible vignette, if any?

    M mount lenses:
    - Voigtlander Heliar 75mm f/1.8
    works good, just some slight vignetting and dark corners that should be easily corrected.
    - Voigtlander Nokton Classic 40mm f/1.4 SC
    hard vignette in the corners, not much soft vignette, still usable.
    - Canon RF 50mm/0.95 converted to M mount, forgot the vignette.

    Via Fotodiox Minolta (SR/MC/MD) mount adapter.
    A quick test shows all my lenses are vignetting almost exactly the same.
    That's kinda strange, but cool, I'll take it!
    Not too bad, but definitely visible.

    - MC W Rokkor-X 28/2
    - Zoom 35-70/3.5
    - MD Rokkor-X 45/2
    - MC Rokkor-PF 58/1.4
    - MC Rokkor-PG 58/1.2
    - MC Rokkor-PF 85/1.7
    - MC Tele Rokkor-PF 100/2
    - Minolta MC W Rokkor-HH 35/1.8 in Minolta SR mount, it vignettes the same as rest, slight, but noticeable.I

    I have two more adapted to Canon EOS-EF mount.
    28/2
    85/1.7

    The Minolta EOS-EF mounted lenses seem to vignette slightly less than the native Minolta SR mount via Forodiox GFX adapter.
    Oh, and the Minolta 28/2 is super close focusing, I had forgotten about this.
    All of these works great.

    Canon FD/FL mounts, Fotodiox FD/GFX adapter...
    - FL 55/1.2 - heavier vignette than the Minoltas, which were slight but noticeable,
    still should be easily corrected.
    - FD 85/2.8 SF - slight vignette, similar to the Minoltas, maybe a touch more?
    - FD 500/4.5L - similar to the vignette of the FL 55 above. 

     - Konica Hexanon 57/1.2
    Using the GFX - LM adapter, then an LM - AR adapter.
    It seems to vignette more than the Minoltas, similar to the Canon FD 55/1.2

    Canon EOS/EF AF lenses via Techart adapter.
    - 50mm/1.0 AF works, I have forgotten what the vignette was ..
    - 200mm/1.8 AF works, very slight vignette, I have forgotten?

    - Contax N 85/1.4 converted to EOS/EF mount, via Techart adapter, AF did *NOT* work, but manual focus works, can't remember vignette.

    Just for information:

    I have used my manual Mamiya 645 manual focus lenses on my GFX 50R many times, via Mirex Tilt/Shift EF/M645 adapter, then another adapter for EF/GFX.
    Yes, a round about way, but it seems to works okay.  I may get a simpler adapter in the future?
    - 120/4 macro works great.
    - 35/3.5 N works great.  The 35/3.5 N focuses pretty dang close.
    - 80/1.9 N works great.
    - 55/2.8 N works great.
    - 145/4 Soft Focus works great.

    Wished I could afford a GFX100, but being a simple hobbyist, makes it hard...

    Fuji GFX 100 ProRes RAW?

    Andrew,

    Wow, I was going to reply to a thread on dpreview linking this thread for them to read, however they ban EOSHD links?

    I was actually trying to help them, however if they want to continue such highbrow stupidity...:

    My censored reply to a lot of confused dpreview thread entries below:

    >>>  Re: GFX 100 may become a monster video camera ....

    FYI...

    Wow, this website bans EOSHD URL listing.
    Stupid and lame...

    There are a lot more GFX 100 threads in the EOSHD forum.

    I have actually learned a lot from the EOSHD site, as for the past many years shooting videos of my families life events.

    Sigma 17-70 F2.8 on Fuji X-T4

    The other thing I like about the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 is the overall rendering. It is pretty spectacular for such an affordable zoom. Really nice bokeh and focus roll off. Amazing resolution and contrast in the middle.

    I have both the old and new versions of this lens... will see what the difference is.

    I would be interested in this outcome, thanks!

    Anamorphic on medium format

    Wow, really cool!

    Only thing I have close to MF video is my Fuji GFX50R, which isn't that great for movies.
    Though, I have not actually used it for movies.
    Wonder how it would upscale with the Topaz Video app... ?

    Thanks Paul

    I would like to try the Mitakon 65mm F1.4 on medium format, probably has unique look as well. That lens is £600 and probably worth a look for GFX owners.

    Hi Andrew,

    BTW, there is a Mitakon 85mm F1.2, and I think is available also in GFX mount.

    Not much info about it, reviews, etc.

    I always wanted to try one on my GFX 50R, never got to it....

    Cool, I've only used mine in stills.   Mine is converted to LM mount.

    I don't have any FF movie body options that would take this mount, as I don't count my GFX 50R movie capable, never tried it...

    Though, I STILL love my GH5 for the opengate anamorphic mode!

    Help grading HLG (GH5)

    I am still using the following method, I think I got this information from dvxuser forum:

    "You can use HLG natively with Resolve for Rec 709 delivery:
    - In Project Settings, under Color Management, Change to Davinci Color Managed
    - Under Color Management select:
    -- Rec 2020 HLG ARIB STD-B67 for Input Color Space
    -- Rec 2020 HLG ARIB STD-B67 for Timeline Color Space
    -- Rec 709 HLG ARIB STD-B67 for Output Color Space"

    For me, there STILL NEEDS to be some type of focus assist output via HDMI when shooting 6k anamprphic.

    DURING recording internally.

    I still don't know why this cannot be done.

    Looks good. I can see a lot of GH5 users upgrading, unless you need anamorphic.

    What?

    No way, I'll take my GH5 for video over this everytime.  I use anamorphic and 6k all the time.

    I don't see how this is an upgrade from my GH5.

    Though, I do have an X-T2 for stills, now maybe for that...

    Camera owning plans 2020

    No 2020 plans really, all my gear still works great for my needs, Fuji X-T2, Panansonic GH5, Fuji GFX50R, Fuji X-E3, and the ol' Canon 5DMkII still works well, yadda yadda yadda...

    However, an excellent deal to get a very low shot count Mamiya DM33 digital back and adapter for my Mamiya RZ67 II Pro was presented, and I jumped.

    I am having lots of fun with it.

    More infos from Fuji Rumors:

     

    -No Pixel-shift yet.

    -USB PD protocol implemented, as it charged very quickly with a PD 30W USB-C charger. Not so fast with a normal QC charger.

    -IBIS can go up to 6.5 stops with some of the prime lenses.

    -Priced at 1700 USD.

    -Multiple Boost modes including normal / economy / boost AF / boost FPS / boost Res etc.

    Wondering about the meanings of boost modes: boost AF - boost Res

    Agreed. It's just hard to go back to a camcorder :(

    I don't know, I'd be willing to try these, IF they AF during recording.

    Would be good for sideline sports.
