New Fringer Smart Adapter Firmware

New firmware (v2.1) is available for C645-GFX smart adapter at fringerdev:

“With the new firmware (v2.1), 55/3.5 and 210/4 have been added to the AF list. As I said earlier, I changed my mind and decided to open AF functions for all Contax 645 lenses on GFX. The last 2, i.e. 45-90 and 350/4, would also be added to AF list in the near future. Please visit https://www.fringeradapter.com/#service-and-resources to download the new firmware, the release notes and the new manual. Follow the described steps in the manual to upgrade your adapter. […]

I was conservative on AF performance of adapted Contax 645 lenses on CDAF bodies like GFX. However, more and more in field tests made me believe that the AF performance actually is quite good in most cases. And one more option for users should always be better. That’s why I changed my mind. But please don’t be too optimistic. The AF performance is still lower than GF lenses on GFX or C645 lenses on C645 body due to the limitations of the old lens design. Thus, if you find it doesn’t satisfy you, please change to MF. All C645 lens can work under MF mode. And their super fine MF rings are way better than GF lenses‘.

Fujifilm Lens Roadmap Updates to be Announced Soon

Share

September 7 (if that’s really the date) will be a terrific Fuji announcements day :)

In addition to the Fujifilm X-E3, the Fujinon XF80mm Macro and the Fujinon GF45mm, I hear that Fujifilm will also release “lens roadmap updates“.

We already leaked the internal G-mount lens roadmap back in April here, and regarding the X-mount lens roadmap, the hottest rumored lenses are the XF200mmF2, the XF8-16mmF2.8 and the XF18mmF2 MKII.

Fujifilm GFX 50S Vs. Nikon D850 Estimated Dynamic Range Comparison

Share

Fujifilm GFX

Photons to Photos has published their first (estiamted) Dynamic Range chart for the just announced Nikon D850, and we can now compare it to the Fujifilm GFX 50s.

The result, as you can see above, is still clearly in favour of the Medium Format Fujifilm GFX 50s compared to the BSI Full Frame Nikon D850 camera.

Seems like the Fujifilm GFX 50s is still the way to go, if you want the ultimate dynamic range. But let’s wait for the real test, and not just the estimate, before we make any conclusions.

Check it out at Photons to Photos.
