Dear Friends,

 

Recently I got a present gift , which appeared to be the A7R II , I got many Fuji lenses , 56 1.2 - 10-24 F4 - 18 F2 - 27 F2.8 and the 23 F1.4 ...

 

The question is , where can I get an adapter that will let me able to fix them on the A7R II - (there is a APSC-Super 35 mode in the A7R II)

 

 

 

Thank you

I don’t think that there is any such adapter to use a Fuji lens on a Sony A7RII.

 

There are multiple reasons why there isn’t one and there will never be one...

 

 

 

 

1)  The flange distance of Fuji is smaller than the one of Sony.

 

2) The aperture of fuji lenses is not working on the lens without it being attached to the camera, only lenses such as ones without any electrical contacts ( e.g. Samyang) have operating apertures 

 

furthermore, the focusing of many lenses of the system is also electric and won’t work without electric contacts.

 

Sell the Sony :D !

I saw a few going for 299 a few weeks ago. Cheapest second hand one I found right now is here: http://www.fotokonijnenberg.be/occasions-verhuur/occasions?manufacturer=Fujifilm

 the only lens i got on the sony is Zeiss 55mm F 1.8 - but definitely , i am sticking with the Fuji  :D

 

The FE 1.8/55 is one of the best resolving lenses ever made, while the A7R II is (specs-wise) the best mirrorless body ever made. So that's quite a match there. If I were you, I'd stick with that.

 

Besides the reasons milandro already pointed out (flange focal distance 18mm vs. 17.7 mm, aperture, autofocus), even if the fujinon lenses could be adapted to the sony mount, you probably would not want to, considering that the lens correction is done partially optical and partially via software.

This is one of the most important aspects concerning adaptive photography, together with the fact that lenses made for film were never made to perform well with a system, a digital sensor, which only performs at his best with rays as orthogonal as possible to the surface of the sensor. 

 

I use two lenses that aren’t communicating electrically and electronically ( by means of a chip) with the camera sensor and processor. The Samyanag 8mm f2.8 fish eye I ( the version II has an improved image circle that doesn’t seem to be a significant improvement on the APS-C) and the Samyang 12mm f2.

 

I have been wondering if it wouldn’t be possible to feed the camera with information, albeit general, on the adapted lens used. Originally that’s what I thought it happened when telling the camera which adapted lens is on the camera.

 

There’s a number of focal lengths pre-programmed and two ( why only two?) which one can modify. In reality modifying these only changes the exist data of the camera so that you can, afterwards, recognize the pictures and a program such as lightroom can order the picture under a lens directory.

 

It would be nice if the camera could be programmed to recognize lenses other than the Fuji or Zeiss.

 

Of course Fuji has no interest whatsoever in providing this feature which encourages people not to use Fuji lenses. However my take on this is that, with the exception of very few, most use adaptive photography as a creative extra, not as a total alternative.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Please save me from insanity 23mm f2 vs F1.4r

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!

      I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !

      First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
