Tirpitz666 Posted November 7, 2024 Share #41 Posted November 7, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) I bought a 70 F2.5 but I'm still on the fence deciding between the 006 and 007, maybe worth to wait a bit more before taking the plunge since I happen to have a GF body around... 🙂 Let's hope the guy will soon release a video of the actual thing in action 🤞 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 7, 2024 Posted November 7, 2024 Hi Tirpitz666, Take a look here Leica S lens on Fuji GFX 50s. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Sarnian Posted November 7, 2024 Share #42 Posted November 7, 2024 The finished product will be anodized and will be black in colour. 👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 007 you get a fairly modern - but also a more standard - sensor, also usable at high ISO. The first will help making (some) images in good light that stand out compared to what we otherwise see, the second is more of an allrounder. On GFX, with IBIS and no mirror movement/shake, I particularly recommended the S120 and S180. 25 minutes ago, Sarnian said: The finished product will be anodized and will be black in colour. 👍 Goodie.

Tirpitz666 Posted November 7, 2024 Share #46 Posted November 7, 2024 Thank you for the camera pointers Helged, that was precisely the point, old "CCD magic" vs " more modern look/usability. But now guess worth to wait to check price/availability and actual performance to this adapter, before taking any decision, especially if it will support GFX 100's PDAF 🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kipon are currently testing the adapter with every S lens to ensure that the autofocus isn't too 'keen' (a feeling that I've relayed to Xiaoming Zhang on the forum's behalf). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tirpitz666 Posted November 17, 2024 Share #49 Posted November 17, 2024 (edited) After quite a lot of filing and tinkering, I finally managed to have that damn Fotodiox adapter to allow my 70 F2.5 to reach infinity 🥳 Until the elusive Kipon AF adapter will be finally available, it will do I guess 🙂 Welcome, dear visitor!

I guess a number of gfx-users look forward to the Kipon adapter. Being able to adjust aperture is clearly an "added bonus" relative to a non-electronic adapter... AF is less 'critical' since gfx's magnify option works fairly well. We will shortly (?) see/know, I presume...

Tirpitz666 Posted November 18, 2024 Share #52 Posted November 18, 2024 Thank you, at some point I was really about to throw everything out of the window in desperation (also thanks to the flimsy screws but basically welded in that Fotodiox used for the adapter, which made impossible to remove the rear silver mount to file the adapter from the easier side, so have to do it from the much trickier front part), but at the end it became almost personal so I marched on 🙂 I'm fine to use the 70 wide open for now, curious to see how it performs (also in terms of rendereing) versus my Mamiya 80 F1.9@2.8, which so far has proven a quite nice lens to adapt to the GFX.

Tirpitz666 Posted December 3, 2024 Share #58 Posted December 3, 2024 Well, at least at the end it's real, but almost 1000 Euro.. Considering that for now I only have the 70 F2.5 to use with it, guess I'll take a pass for the time being.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnian Posted December 3, 2024 Share #59 Posted December 3, 2024 I'll probably wait until next Spring before I get one as it probably wouldn't get much use over the wintertime in any case (we don't get a lovely covering of snow here). That will also give time for reports to filter back on how it performs (which should be just fine as Kipon did very thorough testing with all of the S lenses). All being well, I can then sell my S2-P to fund the adapter purchase. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not criticizing your decision, but oh how the giants have fallen! Selling a 25,000 dollar camera to pay for a third party lens adapter. Time is cruel. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
