Mount Vintage Lenses to Fujifilm G-Mount GFX Cameras
Whether you’re shooting digitally or on film, Fotodiox offers the world’s largest selection of lens adapters. Mix camera/lens platforms or reinvigorate vintage glass; Fotodiox has hundreds of ways to mount lenses onto your DSLR or SLR camera. Our adapters deliver infinity focus, manual aperture control, and a sturdy build for lasting quality.

Built-in Variable Neutral Density 2-8 stops
The Vizelex ND Throttle is well known for having a built-in variable neutral density filter that offers 2 to 8 stops of light reduction. This concept in adapters has been praised by film makers and now Fotodiox has optimized the adapter for that same crowd. The Vizelex ND Throttle reduces light transmission by one stop when at its ‘Min’ position. The adapter helps maintain shallow depth of field in bright conditions while eliminating the tedious process of changing filters every time the exposure changes. With the filter positioned in the rear, image quality is better than if the same filter were mounted on the front of a lens. The variable ND filter is made from optical polycarbonate (CR39) for clarity and durability.

Precise & Solid Connection; No Play Fit
Fotodiox employs Professional Photographers in every aspect of development and design to create products that are built to last. The Pro line of adapters is crafted to withstand the rigors and demands of the professional photographer. Our adapters are manufactured with precise tolerances, providing a solid, gap free, no wiggle connection for stress free use. No adjustments needed! Fotodiox adapters are meant to be taken off and put back on your camera as much as needed while remaining as precise as the day you bought them.

All-Metal Construction; Secure & Solid Fit
Fotodiox Pro adapters feature all-metal, no plastic construction to create a secure connection between your glass and camera that will not degrade over time, keeping the lens-camera connection secure with every use. We use chrome plated brass mounts for enhanced durability and reliability. All Fotodiox products are backed by our 24-month Fotodiox Manufacturer Warranty.

DPRTV: Laowa 19mm f/2.8 Zero-D GFX Review

Laowa 19mm f/2.8 Zero-D GFX:
Venus Optics / B&H Photo / Adorama

The Laowa 19mm f/2.8 Zero-D for GFX was announced at the end of last year and generally. DPRTV posted their review, which you can watch above or check out excerpts from the review below:

  • Fully metal construction
  • Super smooth focus ring with a nice clicky aperture ring
  • Great for doing hyper-focal focusing
  • 77mm filter threat
  • Comes with a metal hood
  • 550g, it is quite compact and lightweight for what it is
  • Fully mechanical lens
  • No electrical contacts
  • Very low distortion, so minimal if any correction needs to be done after
  • 18cm is the close focus distance, so 1:5 magnification
  • Bokeh has nice smooth transitions when things are out of focus
  • 5 bladed aperture
  • Round bokeh balls, but when you stop down, you get pentagons
  • Quite dramatic sunstars even at f/8
  • No major loss of contrast
  • Lots of ghosting
  • The center and corners improve as you stop down to f/5.6, but f/8 and f/11 are pretty ideal
  • Upclose there is almost a bullseye pattern of sharpness
  • The 100MP sensor might want a little too much from the sample they used, but it is great on the 50MP sensor
  • A great option if you only shoot this wide occasionally otherwise, go for the Fujinon 20-35mm or Fujinon 23mm
