Hi, I have just joined the forum, good to meet you!  I started photography some 40 odd years ago, with a Fujica ST801.  Since then I have dabbled in Olympus and Nikon gear, but have recently come home to Fuji.  Current gear is an XPro1, XPro2, and an X-A3 (converted to infrared photography).  I have the 27mm pancake lens, the 35mm F1.4, the 16-55 F2.8 zoom, and the 50-230 zoom.  Plus quite a few old Olympus Zuiko lenses I use with a couple of adaptors.  I mainly shoot B&W.  I absolutely love the Xpros, they suit me down to the ground.  I'm so glad to be back in Fuji land!

 

Cheers,

Curzie

    • More testing of lenses today.  Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 IF ED VR (same applies to VR II) - dreadful. Heavy vignette at all focal lengths and apertures. Obvioulsy fine in 35mm mode.  Nikon 70-200 f/4 - some vignetting at full frame (similar to 24mm f/1.8 and Sigma 105 f/2.8 so probably correctable or slight crop to 80-90MP). Perfect in 35mm mode.  If weight is an issue for you the kit 35-70 Fuji GFX lens is lightweight and better than you might expect but isn't a fast lens at f/4.5-5.6

    • 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.
    • 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.
