Fringer was one of the first companies to release an AF adapter for Fujifilm X series cameras, but they have neglected to release an adapter for the Fujifilm GFX until now. If I were in the market for an AF adapter for the GFX I personally would wait for the Fringer AF adapter to be released because Fringer has a track record of supporting its adapters for years to come with updates that add features and lots of tweaking for lots of glass.
The Fringer EF-GFX adapts EF mount lenses to Fujifilm GFX cameras while keeping auto functions such as AF/AE/EXIF.
Key features include:
– Electronic aperture ring
Keep the same usage as native GF lenses. As GFX100s doesn’t have ISO dial, if an adapter doesn’t have an aperture ring, the camera front dial has to be shared by ISO and aperture settings which isn’t convenient at all.
– Support Phase Detection AF (GFX100 and GFX100s only)
You will get high AF performance as well as supports for AF tracking and Eye AF, etc. only if PDAF is fully supported.
– Support In Body Image Stabilization (GFX100 and GFX100s only)
A lot of very good EF mount lenses don’t have IS function. It would be great to leverage the IBIS function of the camera body.
– Lateral Chromatic Aberration correction (optimized lenses only)
We believe JPGs straight out of camera are very useful. Unfortunately, LaCA may severely affect the quality of them. Unlike the raw file, it isn’t easy to be removed for a JPG. Native GF lenses are all embedded with LaCA correction. Now, our adapter has done the same thing for EF mount lenses.
