Recommended Adapted Lenses

[TopDownDriver]

So, which lenses are adapting best to the GFX?  What are people using?

 

Are the Contax lenses worth playing with?  Mamiya?

 

Looking for some "real-world" feedback.

 

Thanks

I have the Mamiya 645 80mm f2.8N, 120mm f4N Apo, 150mm f3.5N, 150mm f2.8 Apo, and the older 105-210mm f4.5 UD lenses, and all are remarkably good.

 

Here's a shot from the 80mm f2.8N, wide open, along with a crop from the centre of the first image:

Hey @Izak would you have any samples of the Sigma 35 1.4? I'm getting a GFX this week and when I shot FF the Sigma 35 was my favorite lens and I'm really interested in adapting one for my new GFX.

I have recently upgraded from the Pentax 645Z to the GFX100S. Still getting to know the camera but the Pentax 645 lenses seem to work very well with the GFX. They are stunning quality and very cheap for that quality, even more so if you get the early "A" manual focus versions rather than the later FA autofocus ones. In particular the 200mm and 300mm lenses are a very cost effective solution for a long lens and as you are effectively using the "sweet spot" from the middle of the image circle are perhaps a better alternative than the FF 35mm lenses.
