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

Sigma CEO Expresses Interest in Fujifilm GFX Support: “If We Want to Master Optics, We Need to Support Medium Format”

In an interview to Petapixel, Sigma’s CEO, Kazuto Yamaki, has expressed personal interest in supporting medium format cameras with the company’s lenses.

While Sigma has focused on building its lens lineup for full-frame mirrorless cameras, Yamaki acknowledges the growing popularity of medium format cameras and the potential for third-party lens manufacturers to enter this market.

Although there are currently no official plans to support medium format, Yamaki stated that it is his personal hope, and he emphasized the need to carefully assess the market and demand.

Here are the relevant quotes from the article:

I [am] personally very much interested in supporting medium format. Again, it’s a small market, but I have some interest.

[…]

So right now we don’t have such plan, but if Sigma wants to be a master of optics, I think we need to support medium format. But that’s just personal hope. But I need to carefully look at the market and demand

Fortunately, the CEO’s personal opinion holds significant influence, perhaps more than any other within the company. These statements indeed inspire optimism.

Additionally, it is now evident that Fujifilm has not restricted the G-mount to third-party manufacturers. If this were the case, Sigma would have publicly expressed their concerns, just as they did previously when they complained about Fujifilm not permitting them to produce X mount lenses.

It’s only an issue of market share. And luckily the Fujifilm GFX (and also Hasselblad X system) market share is growing.
