I am not currently an owner of a Fujifilm camera of any kind.  I am seriously considering the XT-20, however.  In terms of quality cameras, I have a very old Nikon D3xxx DSLR, which has been a good camera for me.  However, I noticed during Spring Break that my Pixel 3XL is taking better pictures. It is time for an upgrade.  I have also lost a good deal of weight, and I need to reward myself for that.  A good camera seems appropriate.  The bulk of what I've been using my DSLR for is vacations, including hiking.

At first, I was looking at the Nikon D5600. I even found a good 2 lens kit, both of which are upgrades over the two that I already have. However, I started reading up on mirrorless cameras. The Nikons are out of my price range; I'm a hobbyist, not a pro. I started settling in on either Sony or Fujifilm.  After doing a lot of reading, the XT-20 appears to be a good camera for what I want to do and at a very nice price point.  Unfortunately, I was unable to take advantage of the summer specials.  Hopefully, there will be some new sales.  My goal is to get a new camera by Christmas, as we will be taking a trip to Grand Canyon. I'm a geologist by training (though I do not work in the field), and I've never been.  I want to take outstanding photos.

      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.
