New to the site and to Fuji, I formily shot with all canon gear (7D, 24-70 F2.8 VC, 70-200 F2.8 VC, 100-400L) but haven't had much time to shoot lately so I sold off all my gear a few months back only to find out last week my wife is pregnant with our first children(having twins!!!) So I'm looking to purchase into a new system. Prior to selling everything I was considering changing over to Fuji so this seemed like a perfect chance to do that.

 

Having never shot with Fuji or a mirrorless camera I'm sure there is going to be a lot I need to learn and get use to but, right now that plan is to start out with an x-e2s and 35 F2.(unless I come across a great deal on a X-T1 due to my budget) From my Canon kit you can see I was much more of a zoom user but I want to explore primes especially with the new borns coming and figure this is a good starting point and I'll likely add the 56mm to my kit at some point then once they get running around I definitely want the 100-400. That was by far my most used lens with Canon.

 

My biggest concern coming from a DSLR is going to be getting use to the auto focus speed of these cameras. Ive been told Sony is faster but the lenses Fuji offers and at a much more affordable price it has me set on them, I just hope I'm not going to end up being disappointed and wishing that I went back to a DSLR (7D II or D7200).

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      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.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      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

      By jerryy · Posted

      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.
