Fringer released a new update for the popular Fringer EF-FX Smart Adapter and if you missed out on the first batch a new one will be coming very soon. They expect to have stock of the Fringer EF-FX in late March or early April according to the FringerDev Blog. You can download the update here and see the details below.
We found a new way to improve EF lenses’ phase detection AF accuracy on X mount cameras. Integrated in the new firmware (v1.30), the following lenses has been re-optimized according to the new method.
The new firmware is the most important upgrade since the adapter being released and is recommended for all Fringer EF-FX Pro adapter users. The newly introduced lens data will let all the phase detection AF points, e.g. the green ones on a X-T2 as shown below, locking on targets not only fast but also more accurately. And that’s the key for AF performance of AF-C and video recording, too. Other lenses may also be re-optimized in the future if necessary.
Meanwhile, the new firmware (v1.30) has following improvements.
