First Prototype (and Test Shots) of Fringer’s Contax 645 to Fujifilm GFX 50S Smart Adapter with AF and Electronic Aperture Control
Back at the beginning of March, here on FujiRumors we broke the news, that Fringer is developing an electronic smart adapter that will allow you to use Contax 645 lenses on Fujifilm GFX 50s and have autofocus and electronic aperture control.
Well, there is still nothing official on the Fringer website, but luckily the developer is part of our gigantic Fujifilm GFX facebook group, and shared the first working prototype image on our group here, as well as the first sample images taken with it.
Fringer says: “What you’ve seen is the first prototype and there are still a lot of problems to be solved. […] Although I’ll be working hard on the firmware, it would not be an easy task to make it relatively mature. Thus I can’t tell you when it will be ready for sale.”
As you can imagine, the comments over there are running hot, and Fringer is so kind to interact with the GFX community. Of course I can’t stay here now and copy and paste every comment, so feel free to join the discussions over there.
And of course I will keep you posted here on FujiRumors, with any news regarding this adapter.
