In support of milandro, over here in South Africa we have the right to return any product that is either defective or doesn't perform as expected to the shop where it was bought within a period of six months for either repair, replacement or full refund at the discretion of the purchaser.

"The only Chinese lenses should be the 16-50 and the 50-230.

 

The rest of the lenses should be made in Japan." A quote from a post by Milandro.

 

Milandro my 18-135 definitely says made in China !

Meh... who cares about where it is being made if it works well and you don't have any issues with it ?

 

Beside, what else is NOT made in China these days ? Has anything being made locally with the same price range performed any better ?

 

I have seen XF lenses made in Japan failing most QC and I know my XF 18-135 is performing perfectly fine for something that was made in China...

Has anyone had any problems or issues with the XF 27mm hunting for focus? Mine appears to struggle to focus sometimes even when I am taking landscape shots, is that common?

 

Depends a lot if there are enough contrast on the scenery, if it's a complete blue sky and your AF is pointed at it, then yes it will hunt. But the same thing would happen to a lot of lenses.

      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

      By Trevor R · Posted

      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.
