  • Fujifilm GFX 50R with vintage lenses
    The Fujifilm GFX 50R is an expensive medium format camera, with expensive medium format lenses. They're big and cumbersome too. But there are some vintage alternatives thankfully, such as the Tokina 70-210mm and the Minolta 50mm 1.4. Which you might see in this video. Or maybe not. I'll leave that as a surprise for you.

    Thank you for the good laugh, you have a great sense of humor! I bought a GFX 50r yesterday and am looking forward to it’s delivery. I can’t afford any lenses for it yet (really can’t afford the camera either 🫠) but I have a few lenses I can adapt so I’ll put what little money I have left into an adapter or 2. Especially looking forward to trying my Canon 50 1.2 ltm which I have an ltm to M adapter for already so just need an M to GF adapter… I hope this works. But anyway just wanted to say great video and your dry humor made my day!

      Glad you enjoy it mate.
      I love that lens simply because it’s so small for medium format. Got it in a sale early this year too for £400 so it was a no brainer.
      Would’ve made-do with vintage primes otherwise.

    Awesome shots and a fun video, thank you! I use Minolta's MC 58/1.4, MD 45/2 and MD 28/2.8 on GFX without hard vignetting. I started with the 50/1.4 as well but I wasn't happy with cropping away that much of the picture..

    • @adamblack9837
      @adamblack9837  Год назад

      You have exactly the same lenses I do.
      I think the 1.4 was vingetting way harder because of how little light there was. Otherwise I can get away with a smaller crop. The 45mm f2 performs better in this regard though.

    • @MrRoRoWe
      @MrRoRoWe Год назад

      @@adamblack9837 I switched from the 50/1.4 to the older 58/1.4, that one is totally vignette-free.
      I have some more Minolta MC/MD lenses, but they all don't work that well with the GFX sensor.

    Minolta MD 50/1.7, 45/2 both covers 44x33 sensors pretty well. In fact theres a handy list of all full-frame lenses that covers 4433 made by some dude on the forum.

      I’ve got the 45mm f2 so I’ll have to give that a whirl. The 50mm 1.7 is very easy to find too so that’s one to bear in mind, thank you.

    Just came across this video today for some reason. Funnily enough I also use the Tokina 70-210 on my 50R! It's mostly ideal (and SUPER lightweight for its functionality) but is a little soft in the corners when using it uncropped. I have it in a K mount. I got it from a chap on Facebook Marketplace for about $AUD70. I also use an Asahi Pentax Super Takumar 50 1.4, and a Zeiss Flek 35 2.4. The only native lens I use is the GF 35-70. I also occasionally use a Canon 16-35 4 L (only from about 19mm thought as wider than that has mechanical vignetting).

  • @MikeKleinsteuber

    Try Canon EF lenses, particularly the 40mm f2.8. Cheap as chips and beautiful images. But at the end of the day it's the content that counts.

    The sensors on both the Fuji X series, are CMOS, like the GFX, which uses a Bayer filter array.

    Great shots there .I bought the 100s with the 35-70 .I had a samyang 135f2 from my nikon gear (crazy sharp lens) so i bought a second hand adaptor .It is absolutly stunning and on the gfx sensor you effectivle get 135mm X 0.79 and f2 x 0.79 which equates to a105 f1.4 respectivly give or take a .5 mm No vingnetting and you end up with a lens matching and in bokeah outdooing the 110 gf fuji .I have the cine version .It's a heavy ba..t..d but it really gives thet 3d iq and even @f2 it really shines. The cine version is the better option as it's clickless apeture and 250 smoleys cheaper than a used digital slr model used.

    I don't know much about old lenses.. can you do more about them and manual focus with them? have you looked for old medium format lenses?

    • @adamblack9837
      @adamblack9837  Год назад

      Yeah there are some old medium format lenses from companies like Pentax and Mamiya. They’re often just as expensive as a cheap native prime though.
      Ultimately it depends what type of lens you want.
      As for manual focus, you just use focus peaking. The in-focus parts of the image are highlighted in a colour of your choice.

    The Leica R 100mm f2.8 apo macro works as good as the GF120mm f4 macro, and if you want 1:1 macro the Leica is much better, with extension tube or even better with the elpro

  • @andyelement

    The GFX sensor is 4 XT-4 X sensors strapped together. So the Fuji recipes work a charm.
    Try getting some old medium format glass, works a charm

    • @russellbaston974

      No, the GFX sensor is the same as the Pentax 645Z, the sensor uses a Bayer matrix.
