thanks for checking out this video. i was genuinely so surprised by the performance of this adapter, especially at the price point. while it has good reviews on amazon, there are next to no other videos on youtube about how the k&f concept adapter performs when it comes to a video first context so hope this helps in some way if you are looking at either one! let me know if you guys have questions down below!
Awesome video once again sir! Just a heads up to viewers, returned my K&F adapter not too long ago. It worked fine with my Canon brand lenses, but some third party EF-S Lenses paired to it literally crash out the X-H2s (in my case, Tamron 17-50 2.8 A16 and Sigma 17-70 2.8-4.5). Found a fringer EF-EF Pro gen 1 used (they sadly do not sell them in my country). So far so good, just sadly isn't optimized for my fastest lenses with autofocus (the tamron above is one), but no crashing out the camera.
interesting! i didn’t experience anything like that but is good to note for others that might use those lenses. so crazy how different adapters can pair well with some lenses and others not so much. i think that is another reason why the fringer is the tried and true hence why i said i can’t speak to more extensive testing. thanks for sharing as someone will probably love to know this 🙏🏽
Hi, I'm just a young boy who is weak in expressing my gratitude, but in general I wanted to tell you, don't stop publishing what you doing!, that it's beneficial for everyone and for me Personally, so man thank you very much,and just keep going. I just tried my best, sorry if it seems cringe or stupid but whatever man, just keep doing it
Thank you for the in-depth review! Randomly just saw the K&F on sale on Amazon with a coupon for $160 and decided to place the order, can't wait to see what it can do on my X-T30 when it finally gets here!
Hey I recently just got my fuji camera with 15-45 mm kit lens and it also didn't have aperatue ring and just got used to it so it is not a problem to me also the fringer didn't available in my country and have to import it which will be taxed 11 percent and more so k&f seems to be the best one for me so thanks.
Oh nice one, would be great to see how it is with long lenses ... as in my case I would love to try 400mm 5.6 or the 100-400mm how they work (as both are something missing on fujifilm)
@@JustJacoBee Not sure the point of observing that XC lenses are consumer lenses, but right you are. I also have 4XF lenses but the conversation is about Fuji lenses with dial only aperture adjustment.
Been watching your channel for some time now and I love the content! Blase, I recently bought a Fringer Pro II and a Sigma 24-70mm. Have you used any Fuji lenses before, have you noticed the adapted lenses to be a little bit darker ? Im under the impression that its a little bit darker and cooler than my Fuji lenses.
Thanks so much! I have not personally noticed the image being darker, however there will always been slight shifts in an image feeling warmer/cooler from lens to lens as each brand or line of lenses often have different coatings. There can even be variations between 2 lenses are exactly the same. My 24-70 leans very subtly warmer than my 18-35. Hope that helps!
Blase, any idea how the fringer EF-FX pro iii compares to this 2nd generation? which one to buy? new doesn’t always mean better. price point is almost the same.
Dude your title isn't using the common logic. You know why it's called EF-FX? Because it's EF lens (Canon) to Fujifilm X-mount body. I was confused AF when thinking X mount to EF or RF body
Good job man beautiful video . I'm a Nikon user but recently I bought a gfx 100 now I'm struggling about adapter . There's not much information on internet about how to use Nikon lens to Fuji . Is fringer is the best one ? Can fully support?
Fringer is the tried and true and the one I am keeping. K&F is great if you are on a budget, don’t care about the aperture ring, and don’t mind the orange color. I have seen used Fringers for around $200-250 so i would lean that way if i was looking to buy one
Yo! IBIS refers to 'in body' image stabilization where the sensor itself is providing the stabilization so it actually does not have anything to do with what lens or adapter you are using
@@blasepivovar i ment with * I've been testing this days the fringer EF XF AF pro II it works with sigma 18-35 But not with Carl Zeiss milvus EF But it works with KeF pro I checked online and seems is a common prob Or just some units work some don't probably
Hey really liked the vibe of that video. I have an xt4 and in my surrounding everyone uses canon cameras and glass so I am thinking about getting an adapter instead of a fuji lens because of that. As Canon glass is mostly full frame do you think it is a good Idea to go for a speedbooster from viltrox? Or do you think an autofocus adapter which I will be able to use with my old apsc glass would be the better idea? kindly a new subscriber
Thanks so much! I’ve heard only bad things about that speedbooster so would prolly lean away from that. I’ve really liked using an AF adapter with my canon glass
the adapter does not change the field of view. but yes since fuji camera's have a 1.5x crop (as compared to full frame) a 50mm lens would be a similar look to a 75mm lens on a full frame camera
I believe so, although I cannot speak to the performance as I do not own an XT4 to test it with. It does work with my XT3 so I assume you would be good. Hope that helps :)
Does the Fringer adapter change aperture as you turn the aperture ring on the adapter or does it only change it to the set aperture at the time of exposure
@@blasepivovar with canon dslr sand dslr sin general the actual aperture adjustment only happens at exposure time. I had an issue with my sigma mf-11 (canon to Sony) only adjusting aperture at exposure so I had to replace it with a metabones which has an advanced mode.
hey josh! thanks for sharing that with me. sorry to hear you don’t like those things. i actually don’t follow much of anyone who uses them so maybe i am less aware of the current youtube trends? i’ll encourage you to keep making videos yourself as you get to add to that breath of fresh air here on the platform. would love to continue to put effort into making my videos unique as the channel grows and i can afford to put more time to these videos to switch up the vibe/format :)

Amazing. So glad I could help!
Thanks for the review straight to the point and has and chapters
chapters always 🙂
Oh nice one, would be great to see how it is with long lenses ... as in my case I would love to try 400mm 5.6 or the 100-400mm how they work (as both are something missing on fujifilm)
im sure either adapter would work great but yeah dont have personal experience using lenses that long on my fuji
No aperture control ring is a deal breaker for me
feel that. yeah definitely odd they didn’t include one
Not all Fuji lenses have the aperture dial on them. For example, the XC 50 - 230mm lens aperture has to be adjusted with the dial.
Good to know. Yeah i figured there are probably some without
XC are Fuji's "budget" lenses
@@JustJacoBee Not sure the point of observing that XC lenses are consumer lenses, but right you are. I also have 4XF lenses but the conversation is about Fuji lenses with dial only aperture adjustment.
@@ricknicholson5894 and I'm say the XC lenses doesn't have aperture dials because it's considered there budget lenses
I dream of a comparison between the "Fringer EF-FX Pro III" and the "Metabones EF-FX CINE Smart Adapter" 🙏🏻
id watch
Beautiful video!

pretty sure the iii is just fully weather sealed. other than that, they are the same in performance
beautiful clips
thank you
Again. Excellent work.
thank you! really appreciate the kind words
Gave you a like, just for pronoucing Fringer correctly!!
hahahaha i appreciate it
Hi, I am thinking of buying Fujifilm X-E4 and want to use Canon EF 24mm 2.8 lens. Can you please tell me if this adaptor will work?
I don’t have an X-E4 to test but my Canon 24mm F2.8 works great with these adapters on my xt3 and xh2s.
Dude your title isn't using the common logic.
You know why it's called EF-FX? Because it's EF lens (Canon) to Fujifilm X-mount body. I was confused AF when thinking X mount to EF or RF body
got that fixed. thanks for catching that. just a typo
do either option work on canon cine lenses? I have an IRIX. Also, do the adaptors work well with Manuel focus? great video!
If they are Canon EF. These adapters will have no affect on manual focus so yes they would work well
Good job man beautiful video . I'm a Nikon user but recently I bought a gfx 100 now I'm struggling about adapter . There's not much information on internet about how to use Nikon lens to Fuji . Is fringer is the best one ? Can fully support?
Thanks so much! I actually know nothing about Nikon but the Fringer adapters have always worked great for me
Hi, can you confirm. The canon 24mm f2.8 you using in the video is the Ef-S lens right ?
It's not EF
But Ef-S.
correct
@@blasepivovar thanks Bro
wich do you prefer of both? I bought a new camera and I need a new adapter because I actually use Canon.
Fringer is the tried and true and the one I am keeping. K&F is great if you are on a budget, don’t care about the aperture ring, and don’t mind the orange color. I have seen used Fringers for around $200-250 so i would lean that way if i was looking to buy one
seems the ibis not working with Fringer
Yo! IBIS refers to 'in body' image stabilization where the sensor itself is providing the stabilization so it actually does not have anything to do with what lens or adapter you are using
@@blasepivovar i ment with *
I've been testing this days the fringer EF XF AF pro II
it works with sigma 18-35
But not with Carl Zeiss milvus EF
But it works with KeF pro
I checked online and seems is a common prob
Or just some units work some don't probably
Hey really liked the vibe of that video.
I have an xt4 and in my surrounding everyone uses canon cameras and glass so I am thinking about getting an adapter instead of a fuji lens because of that.
As Canon glass is mostly full frame do you think it is a good Idea to go for a speedbooster from viltrox? Or do you think an autofocus adapter which I will be able to use with my old apsc glass would be the better idea?
kindly

Thanks so much! I’ve heard only bad things about that speedbooster so would prolly lean away from that. I’ve really liked using an AF adapter with my canon glass
Im a 2yrs fuji speedbooster user, viltrox is terrible, commlite is pretty good, close to the performance of fringer
nice! yeah i've had mixed thoughts about most all of the speed boosters other than the metabones@@RichardWeiSG
I don't get if it changes the field of few. So a 50 mm fullframe canon lens will be like a 75mm on fujifilm?
the adapter does not change the field of view. but yes since fuji camera's have a 1.5x crop (as compared to full frame) a 50mm lens would be a similar look to a 75mm lens on a full frame camera
Hi Blase! Is there AF-C at all for video? I'm reading comments stating there is none.
Yes for sure. AF-C works on both
Does this k&f adapter work with xt-4?
I believe so, although I cannot speak to the performance as I do not own an XT4 to test it with. It does work with my XT3 so I assume you would be good. Hope that helps :)
Great video, which place this this?
thank you! various parts of the oregon coast
Hi! Does adapter like This work on EF lenses that has focus by wire?
It does on my canon 24mm f2.8. incredibly smooth
How did you make the autofocus work in the video? here it only worked in photography
Not sure what would be letting it work for photo only and not video. Double check all your AF settings
@@blasepivovar how crazy. mine is only working for photos and videos, can you help me? What configuration is on yours? please!
not sure what you mean. feel free to check out my xh2s settings video that might show you all the possible settings
What about rolling shutter?
on an adapter?
@@blasepivovar yes, i’ve never used one. So I have this doubt
@saintsrown lenses and adapters I don’t think affect rolling shutter
Does the Fringer adapter change aperture as you turn the aperture ring on the adapter or does it only change it to the set aperture at the time of exposure
as you turn it
@@blasepivovar thank you
@@blasepivovar does the k&F also work the same as in aperture response is immediate?
@@bijosn yes? as you turn the dial on your camera, the aputure responds just like any lens or an adjustment to shutter speed
@@blasepivovar with canon dslr sand dslr sin general the actual aperture adjustment only happens at exposure time. I had an issue with my sigma mf-11 (canon to Sony) only adjusting aperture at exposure so I had to replace it with a metabones which has an advanced mode.
i cant find K&F adapter firmware on official website
does anyone have a clue?
and im going to confirm my adapter is not fake(coz made in china)
To my knowledge there has been no firmware updates released by K&F for this adapter
@@blasepivovar oh i see, i hope it would work cause my len still on the way
Thank you so much buddy
Just pointing out, but K&F Concept is a Chinese company, so don't be surprised if their stuff is made in China...
All RUclipsrs doing the same stuff. Film burn transitions, shutter sounds, plants in the background. Sheesh we need a breath of fresh air.

This critique always comes from people who have laughable work and are high key bitter
Metabones adapter for canon to fuji
why pay more with less pay do trick?
Kef or fringer buy?
fringer if you have the money. k&f if you are on a budget / don’t care about the orange color and lack of aputure ring
