Fringer EF-FX AF Adapter Eye Tracking tested on Fujifilm X-T3 with Canon 600mm F4 and Sigma 18-35mm F1.8

Fringer EF-FX AF

Fringer just upload a video on his youtube channel (video above), showing the Face/Eye detection tracking using the Fujifilm X-T3 with Canon EF600/4L II adapted via Fringer EF-FX AF Autofocus smart adapter with firwmare ver. 2.50.

As you can see, the eye/face AF works really very well in his video demo. He writes:

“To my surprise it works incredibly well on X-T3 when doing AF-C tracking. I set X-T3 to AF-C mode, CH (11 fps) and Face/Eye detection on. The focusing object is a person riding a electric motorcycle moving fast towards the camera.

30 pictures were taken in less than 3 seconds. The focus areas were cropped at 100% scale and combined to the following picture“

“I also tested video mode Face/Eye tracking. Thanks to the great improvements of PDAF performance and coverage of X-Trans IV CMOS, both still and video mode works very well.

The new firmware ver 2.50 for Fringer EF-FX AF smart adapters will be out soon, and it will add support for Canon EF600/4L II.

Kipon: “IBELUX 40mmF0.85 Performs Better on Fujifilm than Sony, We Don’t know Why” Kipon 40mmF0.85 Reviews

Kipon Ibelux 40mm F0.85

Kai was at the Kipon booth at photokina, and noticed the pink Ibelux 40mm F0.85 MK II, which was announced back in September 2017.

You can check out Kai’s hands on video here, but I’d like to highlight on curious sentence the Kipon manager said, while Kai was trying to figure out if he’d like to test the Sony APS-C or the Fujifilm APS-C version of the lens. Kipon says:

“The performance of Ibelux 40mm F0.85 is better on Fujifilm cameras than on Sony, we don’t know why.”

Kai’s impressions when shot at F0.85 on the Fujifilm X-T3:

  • lot’s of color fringing
  • soft
  • nice smooth bokeh

You can find another Kipon IBELUX 40mm F0.85 review at alikgriffin here (with lots of sample images). His Pros and Cons:

  • Pros: Extremely shallow DOF, very creamy puffy bokeh, nice corner and edge performance when stopped down, sharp in the center, great bokeh at all apertures.
  • Cons: CA wide open, tendency for highlights to bloom wide open, vignetting at f0.85-f1, big, heavy.
