New Kipon Leica S to Fujifilm GFX Autofocus Lens Adapter Announced

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 28, 2025

Just the other day we learned that there was an AF adapter coming for Leica S to Fujifilm GFX and now today Leicarumors is announcing that a Kipon Leica S to Fujifilm GFX autofocus lens adapter is being launched. You can currently preorder the adapter from their website or you can wait for a retailer like B&H Photo or Amazon to get them in stock.

KIPON Leica S-GFX AF allows you to use the Leica S medium format (45*30mm) lens on the Fujifilm GFX medium format (44*33mm) camera, and realizes autofocus function. The adapter is compatible with a wide range of Leica S-series lenses, including zoom lenses.

Leica S-GFX AF is equipped with the new generation MCU (Microcontroller Unit) which delivers accurate autofocus with stable performance. Taking into consideration that Leica S lenses are equipped with traditional motors, we optimized the software algorithm during the development to ensure the lens can focus as fast as possible, maximized the usability.

Leica S-GFX AF supports Eye-AF, EXIF information transmisssion, PDAF, etc. The adapter comes with a Type-C port for firmware update. We will supply firmware upgrade if necessary.

We start to deliver from Jan 20, 2025. 

● Features
1. Durable, high quality
2. Made of Alum or Brass, with perfect surface finishing and super precise design
3. Fast and accurate autofocus
4. Support Eye-AF, EXIF information transmisssion, PDAF, etc.

Leica S Mount AF Lens Adapter For Fujifilm GFX Teased

It is being reported that a Chinese manufacturer is preparing an AF adapter. The adapter has no identifying marks at this time and it is probably catering to a very niche market, but the adapter will give Leica S owners a path to using Fujifilm GFX and give Fujifilm GFX shooters the ability to utilize some of Leica’s more unique medium format lenses, which might include leaf shutter lenses if we are lucky.

Someone showed me a prototype adapter
(you can even see the original color of the metal)
Leica S to GFX. He says it will be AF.

As this is a prototype, it is still very early in the overall product development and we cannot confirm whether the AF will work in the end, so we may have to wait and see on this issue.
