Fuji GFX vs SL

But that’s no problem, almost all older lenses can be adapted to the SL. The problem exists only with newer lenses for mirrorless cameras.  👍

A lens already adapted with a fixed mount type (GFX for instance) requires an adaptor to fit another type of camera (SL being discussed) so it can be used on both cameras..

There are adapters for many mf brands to Nikon or Canon (fotodiox), and there are many adapters from CaNikon to L-mount.

With Fuji G this is not possible, you would need a direct adapter which is currently not available as far as I know. Maybe fotodiox will also develop this, you could write them an e-mail.

We're talking about GFX to SL.  Yes,  maybe a different manufacturer will make one such adapter, Kipon did not AFAIK.

Some of us have third party "analog" MF lenses adapted to the GFX mount and using them on the SL mount bodies would be welcome.

 

I think the problem is that the length of the, for lack of a better word, bayonet part of a GF lens is about the same as the extra flange distance of a GF over an SL lens. That might not be a problem if the throat diameter of the L-mount was larger than that of the GF mount but exactly the opposite is true. Hence there would be zero chance of mounting a GF lens on an SL camera as the adaptor is geometrically impossible to make, if I've got my thinking head on straight. Personally I can't see the point of wanting to mount GF lenses on an SL but I guess that's a whole 'nother ball of cheese. 😀

It's all about curiosity and experimenting, cheese testing. 🙂

I have a 38 Zeiss Biogon adapted to GFX mount, a 37.5 SOM Topogon also, among others. They perform nicely on the GFX 50S, both could fare well on the SL 601 .

For the Hasselblad it is only 18.14 mm, so theoretically possible, but the camera has no shutter ...     😈

They updated their firmware to allow you to use the electronic shutter with non native lenses.

Specifically, the request was made by a couple of review writers regarding using their M lenses on it

To complete this speculation about adapting digital mf lenses.

Hasselblad lenses (XD) can therefore also not be adapted to GFX or SL.

Are you sure? I thought I read that they were able to adapt leaf shutter lenses on the Fuji

I really can't understand the compulsion (and this applies all thread categories) to try and use lenses on a body for which they were never intended ..... and then being surprised by the deficiencies and issues that result. Ok, sometimes they work well and may be a financial necessity, but buying a very expensive camera body and then not getting the appropriately designed lenses to use on it strikes me as daft.

Sometimes it is the opposite. 

I bought the SL for my R lenses and the GFX50R for my XPan lenses.

Hasselblad XD lenses are not the same mount as Hasselblad HC/HCD lenses. The XD lenses are for the X1D, the HC and HCD lenses for the medium format SLR Hasselblad system. The HC and HCD lenses (made by Fujifilm for Hasselblad) work without autofocus on the GFX with Fuji's adapter, and you can use their leaf shutter (or the body's shutter).

How good do the xpan lenses work with the gfx? Which adapter do you use?
