Hi, firstly im in love with my camera , the images that I get are so good that it has sparked up my passion for photography. I was wondering if there was any way of controlling this without having to use the iso dial? If not its not a problem I will get used to it. Also i am debating selling my 5d's to fund getting more lenses for the fuji as currently i have the 35mm 1.4 and the 18mm f2 , i was considering  getting the 16mm 1.4 and also the 23 1.4, and using this setup for professional use. The only reason I wouldn't do this is simply peoples reaction to pro with a small camera... does anyone have any experience with this,, go check out my instagram to see how I use the fuji ,, thanks!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Fujifilm. At the moment it's just the dial that controls ISO. At first I found it a little uncomfortable to use however after a few months of use I now really like it and now don't have to take the camera away from my eye to change ISO. It's probably not as quick as a button push followed by few clicks of another button but it's not far off.

The ISO dial is the only way to control the ISO settings. I think you will like it once you get used to it. I also came from the Canon side and it did take a little time to adjust to using the physical controls compared to the button/dial driven format of the canons, but not I greatly prefer it. I begin to adjust the settings as i am approaching the subject. You can easily look down at the camera and set ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture with the camera off. If you need to make a quick adjustment while shooting or holding the camera to your face, it is easy enough to lift and adjust the ISO dial and see the settings change in the viewfinder. 

 

I checked out you instagram. I like your work. I have not had any one comment on the camera gear, but I don't regularly do professional shoots right now. The only thing I have noticed is that people seem to be a little more relaxed which is a benefit. I am in the process of selling the remaining Canon gear, just two lenses left. If I end up getting back into shooting professionally, I will be all in with Fujifilm.

      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.
