R Lenses on the Fuji GFX 50R

Not all of them you understand but examples of a few I have tried.

I recently had the good luck to pick up a GFX 50R at a VERY good price, and having tried it with a native GF 63mm, I thought about how my my R lenses would perform in 35mm mode.  One cheap Chinese adapter later I can say it works very well.  Also surprisingly, in medium format mode, of the ones I have tried some work without any and others with only minimal vignetting.

Examples below.

Vario Elmar-R 70-210 at 210, there is vignetting at 70 but this resolves at about 100mm.

I've also tried the

50 Summicron and there is no obvious vignetting.

Vario Elmar 1:4/35-70 has vignetting at 35mm but is ok from about 50mm

Telyt 1:4.8/350 does vignette unfortunately. 

 

Hope that's of interest to those that may be considering this camera in the future.

Thanks a lot to your input  !

I've bought a 21-35 R lens and am very pleased with its behaviour on the GFX50s .

Did manage to pull off some shots with minimum fall off and correct corner quality at the 24mm and 25mm focal lengths when focussing at not too far distances .

And it delivers in low light as well 🙂

2 questions:

Has anyone tried a noctilux on the GFX or the M 75  1.4 or R 80 1.4?

For a short while I had the Hb x1D and the noctilux vignetted a lot, but the R 80 1.4 was just fine.  Frame-It's shots with the 50 summilux look terrific on the GFX. 

Thanks, Rob

Yes Rob, tried  both the 80 and 75 1.4 lenses and they're great, will try remember to share some pics next week when back at home . 

X1D and GFX share the same sensor I believe.

Best, JM.

thanks! 

I'll be using my M and R lenses on the Hasselblad 907x when it arrives. I'm not so concerned with the full-frame coverage, more with the square crop to 33x33mm. They should all cover that reasonably well. It'll be amusing to test and experiment, I'm sure. :D

Hi ,

I have a couple of 4X3 uncropped shots taken with the 75 Summilux on the GFX50S:

A clean image without dark corners requires a 4X5 crop.

Will be able to test the 80 Summilux only, hopefully soon. 

Best, JM.

I have always enjoyed viewing images taken with R lenses on other brands, as I have a few of them, they are still close to my heart.

Using my R lenses on Canon and Fuji X have given me very good results.

So with mirrorless bodies  in the likes of Fuji, Canon, Nikon Panasonic and Sony we have so many options,....... who needs Leica?

cheers.
