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.

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

Kipon Baveyes EF-FX AF Autofocus “Speedbooster” Adapters Review

Kipon Baveyes EF-FX AF

When I was at photokina 2018, I stopped at the Kipon booth, and checked out the Kipon EF-FX 0.7x focal reducer (the quivalent of Metabones’ Speedbooster). Since I couldn’t test it, all I can say it that it feels very well build.

If you want to know more about it, definitely check out the Kipon Baveyes EF-FX ”Speedbooster” review at Mattias Burling Youtube.

PROS

  • all metal very sturdy build
  • USB port for firmware
  • similar results to Viltrox and Metabones focal reducers, and no so buggy like the Viltrox
  • AF for stills is pretty good

CONS

  • with some lenses swirly bokeh (the reviewers likes it, but some others might not like it)
  • X-H1 IBIS sometimes gives vignetting and ND sometimes creeps into frame
  • AF is not as reliable as native lens
  • not for streets and sports photography
  • Video AF is not great

You can purchase the following Kipon Adapters for Fujifilm:
