Fotodiox Unveils First-Ever Mamiya 6 to Fujifilm GFX Lens Adapter with Electronic Communication
Fotodiox has unveiled the Mamiya 6 to Fujifilm GFX Fusion adapter, marking the first solution capable of electronically managing Mamiya 6 lenses.
Traditionally, Mamiya 6 rangefinder lenses relied on the proprietary electronic system of the Mamiya 6 camera, which rendered them incompatible with other platforms—until now. Leveraging Fotodiox’s Fusion technology, the adapter establishes electronic communication with Fujifilm GFX cameras, enabling functionalities such as aperture control.
In short: the adapter unlocks the internal electronic leaf shutter so that you can use the mechanical shutter of the Fujifilm GFX.
The video below will show you exactly how it works and how to set up the adapter to work properly on your GFX camera.

- • Allows for some automated functions such as aperture control with compatible lenses

Built-In FUSION Technology
Sometimes you need more than a simple adapter to mount a lens onto a camera – you need real power. Seize control over the electronic features of your lenses with a FUSION lens adapter. This adapter enables EXIF and aperture data to be transmitted to and controlled by the camera. Different lenses may exhibit different operating characteristics depending on lens age and manufacturer. We recommend testing individual lenses in your setup before critical shoots.
Fotodiox’s Fusion line of adapters now include a micro USB port to allow for firmware updates providing a nearly future proof solution for users by including new lenses and fixing possible bugs through firmware updates.

Restores Automated Functions
The FUSION technology built into the adapter enables electronic communication between mixed lens and camera platforms. This FUSION adapter enable aperture control and more. Although the adapter will allow you to mount any Mamiya6 lens, not all lenses will perform the same. Lens age and condition of lens will all affect the speed, reliability and accuracy of the adapter.
When switching lenses, use the function button to get calibrate the adapter to the lens for correct aperture EXIF Data. Set the Mamiya 6 lens to f/8, install the lens on the FUSION adapter and then press the button to ‘FN’ button calibrate. When the lens shutter is closed, the adapter will beep to let you know, simply turn the blue ring on the adapter to open the lens shutter back up.
