In this video I take you through a few different vintage lens systems and show you how I adapt them to the Fuji GFX system. We explore Canon EF, Minolta MD / MC as well as enormous 6X7 Mamiya RB67 lenses. If you ever wondered about what the images look like, you're in luck. There are literally dozens of examples of my work in this episode which can give you insight into the results you can get with vintage lenses. I will also show you the adapters that I used to achieve the shots I provided in this episode.

What are your favorite lenses that you like to adapt to the GFX system? Tell us about it in the comments.

Have you played around with Anamorphic lenses yet?

Thanks for the video. The Minolta lenses deliver something special on the GFX. And they are not very expensive. I have most of the ones that are reviewed here. The other lens not mentioned in this video is the Rokkor 58mm F1.2. It is great too. I also use these lenses with my Fuji X-T4 with amazing results. I use Fotodiox adaptors.

@eavilev

I kept some of my old Minolta MD/MC lenses and often put them on my Sony A7RIV. You don't mention which adapter you use. I've been thinking of getting a GFX100S but I don't need the Fuji for street work. I'm more interesting in landscapes. As much as I love my Minolta lenses, I'm not sure they are the best for this type of photography. Comments?

@robertadamlake

Hi there. Have you ever tested the Rollei 6000 series lenses on the Fuji GFX system? I’m thinking to get a GFX and use my Rollei lenses on it.

Kevin, I really enjoyed your video. Just wondering if you have done any comparisons between the GFX100S and any of the GFX models with the 50mp sensor using vintage lenses? I’m interested in knowing if the two sensors render the images differently.

great images. super sharp.

Thank you! It helps... Just got one for my RZ lenses. The 50mm 4.5 Mamiya RB gives out some interesting results. I am waiting to try out the 65mm F4 RZ and your 50mm pictures just throws in the right amount of input as to how the pictures would approximately look.

@splootan

Great video, quick question would yih recommend using a nikkor 50 1.8 kn the GFX !? Thaanks

@tonyfoulkes9289

Very grateful for information. I'm looking at adapting both Olympus OM zuiko and Pentax 645 lenses to my Fujifilm XE1 and XT200. Just for fun shots and make me really think.

@Pentax67

My favourite lens on my GFX 100 and 50S is Mitakon 65mm 1.4. I think it’s the best lens for portrait overall. It has creamy smooth bokeh similar to 4x5/8x10 film, in comparison to super busy bokeh on adapted vintage glass which now isn’t for my taste anymore.

@karstenbirk5302

Very good video, it helps me much ........ , I think i get a used 50r only for my vintage Lenses.

@SD_Alias

Can I enlarge the display on old manual lenses? So a kind of focus magnifier that I can quickly switch on and off?

I have an inventory of vintage Nikon F, Pentax M42, and Leica M full-frame lenses. Most are manual focus prime lenses.

@jimmoss9584

I am a little unclear on something here. I see where people equate a RB67 lens to some other 35mm lens. So, for example a 50mm RB67 to a 50mm RB lens to a 24mm 35mm lens. I am not sure how that is justified. Then others say, it is not a fact.

Weird question... are you an American Tottenham Hotspur fan? On your top shelf to the left hand side there is a white plaque that looks like it has a Spurs logo top centre... 👍
