Fringer EF-FX Ultra Canon EF Focal Reducer Now Available From B&H Photo – Make Your Full Frame EF F/2.8 Zooms F/2 Zooms

Fringer EF-FX Ultra: B&H PhotoAmazon

The Fringer EF-FX Ultra was launched and became available via Amazon in April, but B&H Photo is just receiving stock now. You can find the press release from its launch below.

This adapter from Fringer will make your Canon EF24-70mm F/2.8 into an F/2 zoom for X-mount or turn any f/2.8 zoom into an f/2 zoom!

We are pleased to announce that Fringer EF-FX Ultra (FR-FX071) is released!


It is a focal reducer/speed booster version of the well-known Fringer EF-FX series, which adapts EF mount lenses to Fujifilm X cameras while keeping full-frame lenses’ optical performance as much as possible. It features a newly designed 2-group 5-element optic. Unlike some similar products in the market, the priority of the new design is image quality. To achieve this goal, we even sacrificed the magnification ratio a little bit, i.e., to about 0.74x. The new adapter has similar AF performance and compatibility as EF-FX Pro III.


Using this adapter, the focal length will be reduced and the aperture will be wider. For example, a EF24-70mm F/2.8 lens will become approximately 17-51mm F/2.0.

DPR: Fujifilm GFX100RF Review – Silver Award, But Not Quite an X100


Fujifilm GFX100RF:
B&H Photo / Amazon / Moment / Adorama

DRPreview has significantly slowed their review process, so they are only just releasing their review of the Fujifilm GFX100RF, and it has landed at the top of its class alongside the Leica Q3, earning an 89% and securing a Silver Award. You can read the full review here or check out the excerpt below:

What we likeWhat we don’t
  • Superb image quality
  • Plenty of tactile controls
  • Exceptionally compact for a medium format camera
  • Relatively easy to carry around
  • Built-in ND and included weather-sealing filter make it more versatile
  • Incredible battery life
  • Autofocus works well for street and considered photos
  • No stabilization limits the extremely capable sensor
  • Compact lens isn’t the sharpest edge-to-edge that we’ve seen
  • Familiar EVF gives an unremarkable experience
  • Dedicated zoom and aspect ratio controls won’t be useful if you want max IQ
  • Stylish square lens hood adds substantial bulk

PB: Fujinon XF23mm F2.8 R WR Review – The Only Catch Is Waiting Until September 2025

Fujinon XF23mm f/2.8 R WR: B&H Photo / Amazon / Moment / Adorama

Photography Blog published its full review of the Fujinon XF23mm F2.8 R WR that was launched alongside the Fujifilm X-E5. You can read the full review here or check out the excerpt below:

Ratings (out of 5)
Design4.5
Features4
Ease-of-use4
Image quality4
Value for money4.5

Fujifilm 23mm lens is remarkably sharp in the centre of the image virtually throughout the entire aperture range, with only f/16 suffering from diffraction. Sharpness at the edges, however, isn’t so good, requiring the user to stop down to f/8 to get critically sharp results….lovely bokeh effects. Vignetting is practically a non-issue, and chromatic aberrations are present but very well-controlled. There is no barrel distortion and little vignetting even when shooting wide-open.
