I m looking for a low profile L bracket for my XT5.  Any ideas? 

The L brackets listing on eBay are comes with a extended hand grip, which is not for my taste. All I want is a sample quick release bracket with the battery access.

Happy Holidays to you all.

Sunwayfoto makes one https://sunwayfoto-store.com/products/pfl-xt5-l-bracket-for-fujifilm-x-t5-arca-swiss-quick-release-l-plate 

SmallRig also has one and it's available to order from eBay.com https://www.ebay.com/itm/295314548925

Just be aware that both are shipped from China.  The latter has a delivery estimates of March :(  The former might delivered in a more reasonable time, but as SunwayFoto mentions on their web site, the Chinese Spring Festival may delay shipments.

There is also Really Right Stuff, but that is pre-order only and quite expensive at $225.

At some point, I'm sure the SunwayFoto bracket will be available on Amazon.com.  I have a number of rails and pano clamps from them that I ordered on Amazon to build my Pano rig.

Hi All,

I just made a purchase through AliExpress.https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804815855408.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.52dbf19cHWUNSl&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa&_randl_shipto=US

The price is good and it is exactly what I want. I don't feel like to get the extra hand grip to make my camera bigger. That's the point to get an expensive APS-C camera, right? I shoot most landscape and like to pack light to hike.

I m not sure why the seller needs to take WEEKS to ship that little thing... will keep you all posted if I have received it. Fingers crossed.

I purchased one from this guy at :

https://www.ebay.com/itm/SmallRig-Arca-Swiss-L-Bracket-for-FUJIFILM-X-T5-Mirrorless-Camera-Black-4137/125592497931?pageci=d76a2f52-6fe4-4b25-a913-245b402155fe&epid=22057461559&redirect=mobile

He is saying March 4th for delivery, which is about the month it took me to get mine. The New Years festival doesn't help. SmallRig has been saying "Available Soon" since the XT5 release.

I like mine. I think it is well made. Really like the pop-out side bracket.

I have the JJC and Smallrig, have to say Smallrig is much better than JJC (the grip is too thicker ), unless you prefer a hard metal grip. I think Fuji's and Smallrig are best options.

For smallrig plate, you may have to grate the edge where the bottom of your hand rest for it to feel like the camera body edge.

I have the SmallRig that I bought in Dec. and it has been my best L-bracket for any of my cameras. The side bracket has an about one inch movement and it is easy to manipulate it. It enhances the camera and the grip of the camera.

Hi All,

The L-Bracket I brought from Aliexpress is pretty good. The side bracket is adjustable and removable.

I love it.

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      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

      By Trevor R · Posted

      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.
