I've looked everywhere and can't find a Canadian distributor who actually has the add-on grip for X-T10 in stock. I placed an order with Camera Canada but the confirmation email said what I feared: They don't actually have it, so effectively what I did was unwittingly pre-order it. 

 

My local store didn't even have it in their system (though they had a stack of half-cases a mile high for the giveaway promotion). 

 

Are stores in the states actually stocking them? Amazon.com seems to have them but even there I'm seeing an awkward "In stock but may require an extra 1-2 days to process." message. 

 

Anyone have a store in Canada that ships and has them in stock?

B&H says they have them in stock - I'm pretty sure they ship to Canada.

Thanks Mike, that's the X-T1 grip though :S

 

That said they do seem to have the X-T10 one in stock:

Unfortunately after including customs service and currency conversion B&H would cost me an extra 42$, which is enough to make me keep waiting.

FWIW Fuji Guys replied to me on YouTube and said there was stock for Canada and it must just be that the store I shop at never tried to order them. 

 

Not sure why Amazon would still not have them but apparently we should be able to order from our stores if we push them to add it to their system.

      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.
