Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX
Giampaolo Masserano replied to Joeyd's topic in Adapting lenses to Fuji X
I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great. -

The mountain at top left is Monviso, known as the "Stone King." From its 3,841-meter height, it dominates the surrounding valleys and the entire Piedmont plain. -
The only real problem is the file size, which is truly enormous even when using JPEG (superfine). To reduce the amount of data, I skip the 4:3 aspect ratio and shoot in 3:2 or 16:9 (the number of horizontal pixels doesn't change, so sharpness isn't affected). You'll still need a powerful PC and a LOT of patience, especially if you'll be using denoising programs.

I think it also depends on the lens model. I also use a Manfrotto 055 for night photography or with filters: I've had poor results with the 45-100 because it's very biased toward the front and therefore sensitive to even the slightest disturbance. No problems with the 20-35 (not biased) or the lightweight 35-70 kit. A tip: to improve stability, there are accessories that screw onto the base of the camera with a forward-facing bracket that better supports the lens. In any case, camera shake is always a possibility...

I've had problems too, especially with a 45-100mm f/3.5-5.6 that produced a very annoying variable-frequency hissing sound. I sent it for service in Italy and was replaced with a completely silent model... but I had to wait over a month to get the exchange. The camera body can make some noise when using non-FUJI lenses: I sometimes use a Pentax 645 macro, and the noise coming out of the camera is the sensor image stabilization.

Not far from Turin stands the "Stupinigi Hunting Lodge", surrounded by an immense park. Built by the Savoys, it is part of what is known as the "Crown of Delights," meaning all the Savoy residences in Piedmont. -
Anche io ho avuto problemi, soprattutto con un esemplare di 45-100 che produceva un suono sibilante a frequenza variabile molto fastidioso. L'ho inviato in assistenza in Italia ed è stato sostituito con un esemplare completamente silenzioso...ma ho dovuto aspettare più di un mese per ottenere lo scambio. Il corpo macchina può emettere qualche suono quando si montano obiettivi non FUJI: uso talvolta un Pentax 645 macro ed il rumore che esce dalla macchina è lo stabilizzatore sul sensore.

Secondo me dipende dal modello di obiettivo. Anche io uso un Manfrotto 055 per foto notturne o con filtri: con il 45-100 ho avuto risultati scadenti, perchè molto sbilanciato in avanti e quindi sensibile ad ogni minimo disturbo. Nessun problema con 20-35 (non sbilanciato) e con il leggero 35-70kit. Un suggerimento: per migliorare la stabilità esistono accessori da avvitare alla base della fotocamera con una staffa rivolta in avanti che sorregge meglio l'obiettivo. In ogni caso, il micromosso è sempre in agguato...

Ciao l'unico vero problema è la dimensione del file, davvero enorme anche usando il JPEG (superfine). Per ridurre la mole di dati, lascio perdere il 4:3 e faccio foto in 3:2 o 16:9 (il numero di pixel orizzontali non cambia e quindi non si riduce la nitidezza). Dovrai comunque avere un PC potente e avere MOLTA pazienza soprattutto se userai programmi di denoising...

The Sacra di San Michele is one of the oldest monuments in Piedmont. The first chapel dates back to the 4th century AD, and many other spaces were added over the following centuries, culminating in the current structure. It is (along with the Basilica of Superga and the Mole Antonelliana) one of the three symbolic monuments of the province of Turin. A curiosity: If you draw a straight line southeast from Skellig Michael (Skellig Islands, Ireland), you'll intersect with extraordinary precision other places consecrated to the Saint (St. Michael's Mount in Cornwall, Mont-Saint-Michel in France, Sacra di San Michele and Monte Sant'Angelo in Italy, Monastery of St. Michael in Greece), after which the straight line reaches Jerusalem exactly... According to legend, the "Sacred Line of Saint Michael" was traced by the sword thrust the Saint inflicted on the Devil to send him back to hell. The cult of the Saint, of Eastern origin, spread to the West thanks primarily to Emperor Constantine, who in 313 AD built a basilica dedicated to the Archangel in Constantinople. -
