Hello

I would like introduce myself. My name is Jasse and i life in Sweden, after longer time with Canon i decided to swap systems. My previous gear was Canon 7d Mark ii and few premium lens. Canon is great camera and quality but my shooting style was always fighting with that gear, many precise settings needed go over menu to apply, body itself 900g and lens 400-500g was not a joy for longer period of shooting and carrying.
Checking options in Canons ecosystem, reduce weight of different lens-body (small primes, small body 80d? SL2? 77D? ), customise functions didn't still fully reach to me. Last thing i checked was mirrorless lineup... And here  I slowly start doing some research what i can gain or lose in different systems to improve my joy of photography. 

 

Reading reviews, watching youtube about Sony, Panasonic, Olympus, always between brands Fuji was showing up with nice feedbacks. So i came a cross to Fuji X line. Local i didn't had chance go and try out Fuji systems, my decision was based only on web information. My pick was Fuji X-T2 and 35 f2 lens, i placed order online and i get battery grip for free after xmas. I need to be honest i was bit nervous spend lots of money and when package arrived i didn't opened till next day... i still was looking on web about more info pros and cons with thoughts maybe return and stay with Canon. I found braveness next day in lunch time to unbox and take few shoots, get familiar with menu, controls and EVF.

When i checked image quality and ergonomics i didn't know what to say, i was amazed. Strength, performance in that little body is outstanding. Focus speed/lock on single point is absolutely fast with current lens, comparing to my 7d m2. I still need get used to EVF and accept that some repair may appear in future by fuji ( some people declaring had issues and 2-3 repairs under year usage) but hopefully i will not experience much faults or any. 
I may be next fuji lover, proud of my decision!

Happy new year Ladies and Gentleman's

      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.
