Fotodiox Unveils First-Ever Mamiya 6 to Fujifilm GFX Lens Adapter with Electronic Communication

Share

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.

Key Features

  • • Mounts Mamiya 6 Rangefinder Lenses to Fujifilm G-Mount (GFX) Mirrorless Cameras; infinity focus or beyond guaranteed
  • • Built-in FUSION technology enables electronic communication and control between lens and camera
  • • Allows for some automated functions such as aperture control with compatible lenses
  • • Precise fit and solid all-metal construction with chrome plated brass mounts for secure and solid fit; lens has no play, gap or wiggling when mounted on adapter and no adjustments required

BREAKING: Fujifilm X-E5 Coming in Summer, But Maybe Don’t Sell Your X-E3 or X-E4 Just Yet

Fujifilm X-E5 Coming

Judging from the comments here on FujiRumors, many are still doubting that there will ever be a Fujifilm X-E5.

But trust me guys, it is coming in 2025.

And today we can be more precise.

The Fujifilm X-E5 will come* in summer of 2025.

*NOTE: the source said “come” in summer 2025. So I do not know exactly if this means “announced” or “released”. This means it could be that it will be announced and released in summer, but it could also be announced in late spring and ship in summer, or announced in late summer and ship in autumn. But it won’t come in early 2025, nor in late 2025.

I say this just to be as precise as possible for now.

If I figure out month, day and time of the announcement, you’ll read it here on FujiRumors.

Sell your Current X-E Camera?

The Fujifilm X-E5 will be one of Fujifilm’s most exciting announcements of 2025 and probably another epic failure due to Fujifilm incompetence in production and delivery, just as it happened with the X-E4.

I am sorry guys for this rant at the end of the article, but the Fujifilm X-E4 was the most disastrous announcement I can remember. The camera itself was great, but if you think the X100VI is a shipping disaster, then look at what happened to the X-E4:

  • Fujifilm X-E4 launch in January 2021
  • I found it in stock once October 2021
  • no more stock pretty much anywhere
  • discontinued in March 2023 while tons of people still had one on pre-order, probably to reserve parts to other cameras with higher profit margins

Not even the Fujifilm X100VI has such a bad shipping record as the X-E4.

You know, normally I’d now sell my X-E3 before the X-E5 arrives, and then just buy the X-E5. But looking at Fujifilm’s failure with the X-E4, I think this time I’ll keep my X-E3 until the day I actually own the X-E5. I don’t want to sell it and then find myself without an X-E camera because of Fujifilm’s bad production planing.

Dear Fujifilm: the Fujifilm X-E5 could potentially be a massive best seller for you. Don’t mess it up like with the X-E4. If you bother to announce an X-E5, then please also make sure to produce it in sufficient numbers.

INTRIGUING: Fujifilm GFX100RF Rumored to Feature Unique Aspect Ratio Dial

Share

The fixed-lens Fujifilm GFX is on its way, and it looks like it will introduce a fresh innovation to the Fujifilm X/GFX series that’s bound to catch the attention of manual control enthusiasts like me.

According to new information from my sources the Fujifilm GFX100RF will feature a new dedicated aspect ratio dial on the back of the camera.

Of course it is too early to judge this new feature/dial. We haven’t seen or used it yet. However, for those who appreciate a tactile experience with as many manual controls as possible, this addition has the potential to be quite intriguing.

But for now I suspend my judgment, even though you can call me intrigued by it.
