Finally someone did a video everybody was lookin for. 🙏🏼

Exactly what I had been looking for. There isn't enough content on this topic. I hope to see more on this in the future. Good luck mate!

This video doesn't seem popular and consequently is truly valuable. Thank you brother.

Exactly waiting for this content. Including Schneider projection lens brilliant. Thanks so much.

Omg thank you. Ive been searching far and wide!!!

I have known about these lens for a while-- and I gotta agree with you about the character of these legacy lens-- Thank you for telling it like it is.

Thank for the video I was looking for a long time something like this! I can wait to try my Voigtlander 58mm 1.4 on the Fuji! Thanks!!!!!

This is an excellent video! Would love a list of the lenses in the description - and the creative talk about each lens plus a quick example was great. Subbed - thanks man!

Love minolta glass and cameras. Also love fuji. Very interesting video. Cheers!

Thanks for your insights on these lenses! I recommend some Tamron Adaptall lenses, especially the 135/2.5, 24/2.5, 28/2.5 and 90/2.5. They are compact, sharp, inexpensive, looking awsome and have a hughe imagecircle, even bigger than Minolta. And you can buy the adaptalladapter for the GFX adapter you already have (M42, Canon FD, Minolta RC, etc).

Interesting video. I've been an X-Series shooter for years - having moved over from Nikon DSLR system. I got the 50r a few months ago and I have the 32-64mm zoom - which is a great lens and covers most of what I need. However, I've also been a film shooter for 45+ years and currently have an Olympus OM system which seems to have lenses that partner well with the GFX. I bought the K&F OM to GFX adapter and I'm starting to use the GFX with my 21mm/f3.5 (17mm on GFX), 50mm/f1.4 (a quick 40mm on GFX), 85mm/f2 (67mm on GFX) and 135mm/f2.8 (107mm on GFX). So far, there doesn't seem to be much, if any, vignetting evident. I'm hoping to get a 200mm/f4 soon(ish) to get a bit more reach / compression for landscapes, etc.

Thank you for sharing, Corey! I was itching to see if Jonas had shot with the 100 and some of his Minolta or other vintage lens and found you... love what you shared. I shoot the Sony A7R system and have various Minolta, Canon, Nikon and Leica vintage lens... and keep wondering how the Fujifilm system might work for... you know, medium format versus full frame. Anyway, really love what you shared.

Wicked set up Corey! Must be having some good times with that stuff :)

Hi Corey! If you ever get your hands on the 105 f2.5 for Pentax 67 or the Nikkor 105 f2.4 AI-S, I think it would be really interesting to see a video about how those look and perform adapted to the GFX. Great video, enjoyed seeing your photos!

Loved it . Actually i am following your steps😊

for the monilta 58 1.2 , to get a closer focus , they have 55 mm treated Minolta Diopters from hoya i have and they work great , great video , I love your setup ! cheers

Great video brother, keep them coming!

👌🏼 Thank you for the shoutout man!

Thanks so much. Been wanting to get into the gfx but worried about the cost of the native lenses. This opens my eyes

Dude! Your photos with that nifty fifty are awesome 👏🏽

Me ha parecido lo más honesto que he visto en KZfaq nunca. Pensarás que estoy exagerando , pero reconozco en ti un punto de vista que ha intentado llegar a fondo en un asunto sin buscar ningún beneficio. Los comentarios a propósito de Rask han sido gentiles y educados. Estoy muy interesado en conocer más de tu trabajo y de lo que haces. Saludos!

interesting.thank you for useful informations

I love you post processing style :-)

I totally get why you use and experiment with legacy lenses. Personally I owm the XT3 as my main digital camera. Currently I have about £3000 tied up in 4 fujifilm lenses and approximately £500-£1000 in lots of weird legacy lenses. At a guess I shoot 50% of the time on the old lenses to get unique looks and have more fun. If I had to choose between the dedicated and legacy lenses as a desert island choice, it would be legacy without hesitation. 👍🏼 up for the vid and encouraging others to toe dip into the murky waters of old lenses. Ansel Adams did quite well with old lenses 🤔

thank you this was an amazing photo i shot 6x6 medium format on an agga isolette 1 and shoot with a 35 mm canon f1 and have adapter digital and am gonna continue soon and this gives me hope for the future of my 35 mm ñensr collection and how i can use them

Reallly a good video with sincere comments.

Great vid wish I saw it sooner. I highly recommend the Mitakon 85mm f1.2 and 63mm f1.4 for portraits. And converted a Leica R 35mm f2.8 (can find em for less than 5 bills if you look hard enough) slight vignette but usable for landscapes.

I don’t own a Fujifilm GFX50R, nor do I have the intention to buy one. However as a passionate vintage lens user I really enjoyed your video and the photographs you shared. Certainly as you said, these lenses have a supercharged look on medium format.

Really enjoyed this video. I use tons of adapted lenses on my Fuji XT-3 and really prefer older lenses for there character and the beautiful bokah. My favorite lenses include the Zeiss Jena Pancolar 50mm f1.8 and the Auto Revuenon 55mm f1.4. The bokah you get with these lenses is out of this world.The Revuenon is a TOMIOCA lens.He made a 1.2 also, but I always get beat when bidding ! My favorite macro lens is the Tokina 100mm f 2.8 D. I even have the Fuji 80mm macro, but much prefer the Tokina. By the way, it's a wonderful portrait lens as well. I use it a lot. Thanks for the great video and don't fret the professional hater's, they're not as professional as they think, they're just hater's ! LarryMac

Please make more videos if possible. Great information was given :)

Thank you so much for this video Corey! Your affordable alternative to GFX glass is eye opening and definitely relevant these COVID days. We all need to save a buck. As you say they work. Would you know the ideal focal lengths in 35mm format lenses to minimize vignetting on GFX? from this batch here i only heard you mention vignetting on 28mm. Does that mean there's less or no vignetting on say 50mm or 135mm lenses and up? Although from your examples i honestly liked even the 'character' of the dark corners. i don't even see the need to crop it. I've also heard that the larger image circle on the Otus lenses, even Sigma Art series would make a great combo for the GFX. what are your thoughts on this? Thank you in advance and more power.

Interesting video. That's some impressive field curvature magic with the Canon 50 F1.8. The corners are more into focus than the mid part of the frame. It does kinda diminishes the benefit of the larger sensor and smaller dof. Using a full frame sensor and 40mm F0.95 or F1.2 will provide very close to identical type of rendering and dof. I bought the Laowa 35mm F0.95 fullframe lens exactly for that reason. Wide angle and the depth of field of a 50mm F1.2, great combo.

THANK YOU !!!!

Would love to see an article if you have posted one somewhere that just briefly details which of the lenses cover the full sensor on GFX cameras and the specific focal length conversions that result form this adaptation process :)

Sorry to hear about you being scammed on eBay. I have been waiting or this video and glad you have made it. I own the GFX50s which I enjoy since I bought it. I only own one native Fuji lens, GF50mm. I use several Nikon D lenses with Fotodiox adapter. Also, I use other adapted lenses, Leica R, Canon, Minolta and Pentax. I just bought a set of Mamiya 645 lenses, 45mm, 80mm, 135mm and 210mm with the Fotodiox extended adapter.

i like ure editing - looks oldscool. like an old medium format film camera

I'm looking to buy this. Thank you for your feedback. Please more video

Would love to see that Cinelux setup when its ready.

It was useful, thank you. If you want, try someday a Voigtlander or older Nikkor, they are similar to what you use and need.

Nice video I just ordered a Fringer Contax 645 to GFX adapter for my GFX-50R. And a Contax 645 140mm lens. Will get the 1.4x Mutar and maybe the C645 210mm (so cheap $300)

Been looking for this! prefer manual

Man, you should try the Mitakon 65mm 1.4 for gfx system. I bet you gonna love it !

Just ordered the gfx 100s and 80mm f1.7 I also have purchased the speedbooster for the m645 80mm 1.9 35mm 45mm and 110mm can wait until March I was hoping u had another video by now

Is that a Hyperion Strap I see? I have three of these, myself. I also have the SmallRig L-bracket handle on my GFX 50R.

Corey, more vids about these adapted lenses!

So just to be clear....when you adapt full frame lenses to the GFX system does it still have the same "medium format look" or not? I assume you have to use 35mm crop mode when adapting lenses or you will have serious vignetting correct?

I highly recommend the Nikon Series E 50mm 1.8.

What’s the 35mm 0.95 like on the GFX?

I'm thinking about buying a GFX and adapting Minolta lenses to it. Do you have a recommendation for a good adapter? I'm seeing a lot of mixed reviews...

I use vintage lenses on my fuji x series cameras and would love to get my hands on a GFX

Very interesting and enjoyable video. Currently awaiting the arrival of a GFX 50r and I'll hope to be doing similar. Can't afford to splash out on Fuji GFX lenses right now but have lots of quality Nikon, Canon FD, Zuiko and Voigtlander glass which I can't wait to try out on the 50r. I have an x-T1 and was hoping for a Fuji full frame but the 50r seems to be the answer to my prayers judging by what I've seen/read. I had bought a Sony a7 in the hope that would give me full frame but while the image quality is ok the handling is terrible compared to the x-T1. I want and need a fill frame camera with a proper shutter speed dial!! I'm particularly interested in the results I get from the Canon FD 35mm T/S and the 55mm f1.2. Should be interesting! Some great images and thanks for posting :)

Hello : Would you tell me please how do you do for shooting a person that moves quickly , with this old nice lenses, from what I know , they could come out a lot of out of focus images . Thanks .

yes please if you could get the adapter it would be nice but before any of that if you DO get that speedbooster which lens do you THINK you would want to use with the camera and why? just in theory.

Have you had any issues with the Fotodiox adapter? Any opinion on its fit vs the Kipon version? Thanks for posting this!

Thanks for the video Corey, do you know if there is an adapter for Sony E to Fuji GFX? I want to use a couple of Sony lenses on the Fuji GFX 50r. Thanks in advance, greetings Sven.

The Minolta 135mm F2.8 is a very nice lens.

Thanks for the video. How's the Schneider build coming?

Which adapters are needed for the Minolta and Canon lens? Thanks

I use a lot of Canon FD glass, have you used any FD lenses on the GFX system?

Hey! What u think now about the 80mm 1.7 gfx? In compairing it to these lenses?

Couldn’t really find any info about the Cinelux GFX adapters aside from that really expensive option.

what do you think about the new TTartisan 90/1.25? Thank You

Enjoy your video. I have not received my GFX 50 R but I will be very soon. I’m very curious about the adapter that you are using because I am not familiar with adapters. I shoot with Canon ,my Pentax 6 x 7 and sometime my old Nikon F2AS which has my favorite lens the 105mm. In order to use my Pentax 6 x 7 and Canon lens. Do I need one or two adapters and do you have any recommendations? Thank you

Hey man, It started a bit rambly and slow and the video seemed a bit long and t o be honest i was very close to skip it. But when i saw your example images i stayed and i am really glad i did because you have some great informative knowledge to give. In the last years i got overly bored with the wide aperture bokeh hype on instagram, but you use it in a away i really enjoy. It feels homogenic, analog and as a thoughtful part of the composition. You take advantages of the imperfections in a skillfull way. You have a new subscriber.

Dumb question, hope someone can help. I'm looking to purchase the gfx 50r and love it for the 65:24 panorama (closest I'll get to xpan). Does anyone know if i can still shoot 65:24 with Minolta lenses?

"not sponsored by squarespace* LMAO. shit like this is more valuable than 40 videos of the squarespacers

I read a post from Joseph D'Agostino about using a Pentax67 105mm f2. 4 lens on a Fuji GFXR, with the help of a focal reducer (So you get a focal of around 50mm) He praises this set up with great enthusiasm. What would be your opinion on this? Would this be the best set up possible for iq, character and Medium format look?

Thank you very much for the friendly and kindly very interesting video . We want to shoot some video clips with the Gfx , My plan would be to buy only one native Fuji Lense and adapt some old manual Zeissand canon lenses most important for me now is a wide angle lense . The Fuji 23mm f4 is wonderful I test it to film and it was perfect but too expensive for me right now . So if you have some experience Some thing like Zeiss distagon 21mm or 24mm canon 24mm Thank you

I am thinking of Canon 24TSE 40STM 85f1.2L but I really want 24mm fov

I think you might really enjoy a Meyer Optik Gorlitz Oreston 50mm f1.8... Not expensive, great color, sharp, Amazing Bokeh and really close focus (1.1 ft).

Corey, in China there is a guy selling via eBay Cinelux lens with aperture too. Check it out.

Where can I see your photographs? Do you have a site or IG?

Hi, I am currently looking into this GRF 50r. I am a Mamiya 7 user. Do you think that it's good to get an adapter for the Mamiya 7 80mm lens and match it with this 50r body? Have you tried any RF lens before? love to hear your thoughts. Thanks a lot!

11:23 - 11:33 - those are stunning images! I have that lens, so I just need to add that Gfx body :-)

I have install the ISCO Cinelux 2.0/80mm projection lens to a GFX 50R using a standard 62.5mm diameter heliicoid (which I have use it for many other 62mm diameter lens). Can I send some pictures here?

👏🙏🙌👌

Does the canon 50mm 1.8 vignette? And about the minolta 50mm 1.4, vignette? And the Canon 40mm pancake? Do you have an instagram or a place you post your pictures?

Buddy, you need to get a Mamiya 55mm f1.4 in M42 mount. Get back to me after. You'll love it way more than your Canon. Their 35mm line is freaking awesome.

Next year they bring a 80mm 1.7 i think... here the same. i dont have any gf lens for the fuji system. using the canon autofocus adapter with the 85mm 1.2 L lens most of the time... I cant understand why all the big camera companies went all in with full frame (exept fuji and hassleblad). I have the old 6D and could never bring myself to buy a newer DSLR. The Dynamic range of the 6D isnt great, focussing is just focus and recompose, its not extreme high resolution, it has no ibis... all these points are much better in the newer models - for example r6. but will a picture from the r6 look this much different from a picture of my old 6D? i dont think so. its both full frame... perhaps i get more photos in focus and the newer lenses are sharper. but the look of the image wont be that different - and the old lenses are sharp enough for me... what will canon sell in the future? i now can wait until the prices of the r6 drops and buy it in 2-3 years for 1500dollar or less, just to get better dynamic range, autofocus and ibis...after this, there wont be any reason for me to buy a newer canon EOS R full frame camera anymore. they will bring more and more megapixels, but im not that interested in this. A lot of beginners will start with a cheap full frame body (u can buy a Canon RP for 900 dollars, or an old 5D mark II (for 400) or a sony A7 mark 1) and the pros will search for ways to make their images look different and unique. At this point fuji and hassleblad will have a complete system with a lot of lenses and good autofocus, better quality than full frame and a different look. Nikon Canon Panasonic Sigma and Sony do all the same and i dont think they can all survive with this. they didnt really innovate... when sony startet with mirrorless, they were sleeping, Fuji brings first "cheap" mirrorless medium format and they are sleeping again...

22:22 - "It's super, super bright, it helps the GFX see well in low light" - it will still be a 1.2, not a 0.95. Only the field of view and focal length is affected, not the light gathering capabilities.

amazing content, just a bit shaky tho :D

While costly, the 58mm 1.2 isn't close to the most expensive Minolta lens. There are 6 and 7 thousand dollar lenses.

Cam went to the dark side 😂😂😂

A Minolta 85mm 1.7 is just as expensive.

Photography is not always about bokeh

With a crop factor of 1;26x , wouldn’t a 50mm (35mm) lens act as a 63mm rather than 43 ?

Heard bad stories about eBay. Sorry you got scammed.

man use bullet points or something. too much chit chat get to the point of the lenses performance
