The OEM charger is bonkers, mine's DoA from its first owner but I fixed it by buying some third party charger which don't have that ridiculous plastic holder and they are doing just fine after 2 years of use. If it's available to you, get the wasabi ones, all the reviews have been saying they're the best ones.

what happened to the original charger?

 

I have had some OEM battery, one swell up, the others worked until I sold them with a camera. I now have two original batteries and one charger I‘ve never run out of juice. I shoot as if it was film and don’t go on the rampage shooting thousands of shots all almost the same.

 

I have going through thousands of shots to pick on picture. I guess that shooting large format ( 4” x 5”  and 8” x 10”) sheet film taught me to get an image with 4 shots available, tops.

eccentro, milandro....

 

Thank you kindly for your help.

The OEM chargers stopped charging..I changed sockets, cleaned-contacts, changed batteries. No avail.

 

Let's see if I can get a Wasabi charger sent to me.

 

Best regards.

 Sorry, I meant the original charger that came with the camera.

 

The OEM charger might have been stopping for many reasons to charge your batteries, especially if the batteries stopped being capable to be charged ( when they reach the end of the lives, they no longer charge).

 

Anyway, why don’t you revert to a Fuji charger, there muct be some around? I have used several for 3 years and everything works perfectly  B)

Tom, that begs the question why didn't you send them back for replacements from Fuji?

 

If indeed you didn't of course!

First one got replaced. And the replacement died too within the year. After that, I didn't even bother anymore. I usually make it through the day on one battery anyway...

      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.
