New Steelsring EF/GFX PRO Edition

Steelsring is introducing a new Pro GFX AF adapter that will be available soon. The adapter adds a multifunction button and aperture a/c switch that adds similar controls to those found on the aperture ring of GF glass.

About Manual Focus Ring (PRO edition only, not available for I/II/III adapters)
When lens mode switch simulation is in C or A mode, aperture control is done via camera body dial, then we use the control ring to simulate a manual focus ring, it is more like power focusing of curtain EF lenses. To be effective, lens body AF/MF mode switch must be set to AF, and camera body focus mode dial set to MF. Turning control ring, it will activate camera’s MF assistant automatically.

About Automatic Focus Bracketing (PRO edition only, not available for I/II/III adapters)
When PRO adapter’s control ring can function as manual focus ring, it is able to set the begin and end positions of auto focusing bracketing depth now. So before entering Auto Focusing bracketing setting in camera body menus, please make sure adapter’s lens mode switch simulation is in C or A mode, and set Lens body AF/MF mode to AF, then turn the adapter’s control ring to set the position accordingly. Please do not turn lens body’s manual focus ring, it is useless because lens won’t report any distance change after focusing position changed, but FUJI’s algorithm need that value.

After finishing automatic focus bracketing positioning setting, control ring can be set to aperture dial simulation again.

Fujinon GF80mm f/1.7 Review – Exactly What You Expect From Fujifilm GFX

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 1, 2022

Damian Brown posted his Fujinon GF 80mm f/1.7 review. You can watch the video above or check out the bullet points below:

3rd stops that are solid and audible up to f/22
70cm is the close focus distance
weighs 795g
Nice lens hood that fits well
12 elements in 9 groups 1 ASPH and 2 Super ED
The 35mm equivalent of 63mm in 35mm with an angle of view of 37.7 degrees
Great short portrait/tele lens
Excellent first-class build quality
Fastest AF lens in the GFX system
The 110mm f/2 set the bar very high
The 80mm f/1.7 is more standard
Good compression
DC Motors so there is room for AF speed improvement
Face and eye detection is only fairly fast and reliable
Doesn’t really hunt in low light
Testing was done on GFX100S
Image quality is excellent with plenty of sharpness where it counts
Corner sharpness falls off, but the lens is designed for portraits so that is fine
MTF charts back up what he is seeing
Lens has some character that works well for portraits
f/1.7 is great on the GFX
Great faithful colors
Chromatic aberration is minimal
Flaring is low
Great subject separation with lots of pop and appeal
Torn between this and the GF110mm but he prefers the 110mm even though the 80mm is more versatile
The GFX performs super well with the GF80mm but it can get better via firmware updates in the future

WD My Passport Wireless SSD Savings

By Louis Ferreira | Published: December 31, 2021

I reviewed the WD My Passport Wireless SSD in 2018 and was really impressed with the portable backup solution from WD that also doubles as a decent external SSD. Since then my 1TB model has worked flawlessly and it is great for backing up SD media when I am out in the everglades shooting time-lapses and/or star trails. If you’re interested in picking one up yourself it looks like B&H Photo is closing out the 2TB models with $400 in savings. The price has never been better and with all the great features of the WD My Passport Wireless SSD, they shouldn’t last long. B&H Photo’s holiday savings won’t last long also, but there are still a lot of deals from Fujifilm that you can check out here.
