Discussion about shift adapters for the GFX is quite popular in our Fujifilm GFX Owners group, so I checked for developments with the HCam DRS Shift adapter reported earlier and they have been very actively answering questions on their facebook page. They also posted some demonstration photos with the new Canon EF-L 90mm and EF-L 135mm TS-E attached to their adapter. HCam.de elaborated a little about our original post about why they didn’t develop a Nikon adapter.
We took our time and thought about this thoroughly.
There are other products which offer Shift for Nikon or longer flange focal distance mounts,
but that was not what we wanted. Canon EF is our standard interface and we wanted to give a second Y-axis to the TS-E lenses (especially for the new 50,90 and 135mm)so we made a little wonder of 3 movements (2x rotation for lens and camera independently) and shift with bidirectional 2x15mm on a very thin 18mm.
this is only possible because we took all the experiences of the Mirex line, the HCam Master TS V2 and the HCam HDS Doubleshifter and made something touching the limits of precision mechanics and materials. It could not be even a 1/10th of a mm less, or it would not be possible.
Markus Michelberger from Mirex who built this and myself who thought and talked to customers about this for some time have done the barely possible.
Now lets see what the market says.
