With a release of GFX 50R this combination started to be appealing to me.

Does anyone have experience with using M glass on GFX with Novoflex adapter?  

What M lenses could work well with it?

there are few discussions about 50s which equipped with same sensor mounted with M lenses.  I've my eye on fujifilm for a while too, the 110m f/2 caught my eye very much... drooling...

Slapping less format lens on larger sensor means crop. 

What is the point of buying camera with large sensor and not using it?

Gee. There’s a revelation.

I think I’ve read image cirle of M lenses was bigger so even though you cannot utilise the full size of medium format sensor, you can use much more than with FF sensor, hence my post.

Because most people didn't add tag to their posts, therefore can't be searched efficiently.  I use google and found many from other forum but I don't think I can paste them here.  This one as example was S lenses on GFX but coming from this forum so I won't get admin's warning  lol. https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/280770-leica-s-lens-on-fuji-gfx-50s/

There is a facebook group run by LUF member Jeffo discussing using third party lenses  on GFX50S / R bodies including some M mount lenses:

I find from my experience that the best working lenses in M mount on the GFX 50S in full frame mode are the 50 Summilux M Asph, the 50 Apo Summicron and 50 Summicron Rigid v2. The 75 1.4 Summilux M shows more corner vignetting yet works as well .

Some corner and  edge loss of quality will appear with older LTM lenses which cover the GFX sensor such as the 5cm Elmar 3.5 and the 5cm Hektor 2.5.
