If I had to resume my travel to India and Nepal in one word, it would be intense... 

 

The purpose of the trip was simple: On one hand, I wanted to meet those amazing countries, discover their most beautiful places, and learn about their cultures. On the other hand, I wanted to carry out a personal photography project. Yes, I had been cooking a project in my mind for a couple of months: I wanted to take pictures of scenes from everyday life of local people.

 

The great photojournalist STEVE MCCURRY has been a great inspiration for me. I coincide with his perspective and style of shooting pictures. I like to observe unknowns walking on the streets while I am composing a photograph in my mind. I normally have a previous idea of what I want to do, so I just have to find the location of the right place, and then just wait for picturesque people to carry out my plan.

 

Before departing to Asia from Spain, I had to choose the photography gear for this trip. Fortunately, I was already aware about not taking too much weight as I would be backpacking Asia alone for a month, and believe me or not, when you are backpacking it’s very important to feel comfortable and agile. So I finally decided to pick up my two favorite Fuji lenses for traveling: the XF16MM F1.4 R WR and the XF35MM F1.4 R. Both lenses attached are my favorite combo to cover all the photography needs and face any photography challenge a long this trip. My camera is the FUJI XT-1, so I already knew that all my photography needs would be totally covered.

      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

      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.
