well, of course you have the LCD to help you with that.

 

I am not sure whether that is accurate but some products claim they have adapter plates for Fuji although they mean the older S series.

It might be possible to buy use the original eyecup of the camera as an “ adapter” to use one of those 90 degrees viewfinder ( and buy yourself an extended one) or to have the adapter bit 3D printed for you.

From what I am finding so far, you are correct in that the adapter only fits the S series.

 

 

LCD is not the best to use outdoors in clumsy low positions,  Old body you know!!  Even with the Hoodman Loupe it is not as easy to critical focus with the LCD.  The other problem is that it does not swing in a direction to be useful when the camera is in a vertical (portrait) orientation

Cheers, I feel your pain... unfortunately I too understand that shooting in certain positions is painful.

 

Maybe some third party maker could have made it but if they thought there was any money to be made with this they would have done so already.

 

I also think that it is unlikely that Fuji will ever come up with a right angle viewfinder attachment themselves for the same reason so, unless you are going to do some DIY, I don’t see predicament having any solution.

 

In a way I see the X-T1 as a camera somehow inspired to the Pentax LX, that camera had many a beautiful solutions for this problem.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
