Viltrox EF-FX2 Works Well on Fujifilm X-T4

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 16, 2020

The Fujifilm X-T4 has only been available for a few days now in some regions and weeks in others, but some will wait to see how their accessories work with the new camera system especially lens adapters like the Viltrox EF-FX2 before picking one up. Well, I am happy to report that at least in the video above the affordable Viltrox EF-FX2 seems to be working extremely well.

KIPON Pro ARRI LPL-Mount to GFX is Expensive and KIPON 12mm f/2.8 Super Wide Angle is Still Missing

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 15, 2020

The Kipon Pro ARRI to GFX adapter was first announced last year, but it was not available at that time. Further, there was a general announcement later last year that Kipon was shipping their PRO adapters, but none of them were in stock at that time or even for a while after. Now the KIPON Pro Lens Mount Adapter for ARRI LPL-Mount Lens to FUJIFILM G-Mount Camera is available at B&H Photo as a special order item.

The Kipon 12mm f/2.8 Super Wide Angle was also announced at the same time, but the lens has not become available yet. Maybe Kipon decided to abandon the lens since companies like LAOWA are making great glass at a very affordable price and recent Kipon releases have been expensive.

Fujinon GF50mm f/3.5 vs Fujinon GF63mm f/2.8

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 14, 2020

Fujifilm makes two relatively affordable GF lenses around the same focal range and in my experience, both are a great choice. Above Mattias Burling tries to decide which 50mm would be best to use pair with the GFX50R as a starter lens.

Fujinon GF50mm f/3.5: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

Good build quality
Compact
Internal focus
Fast-focusing
Image Quality is equal
Cheaper

Fujinon GF63mm F2.8 R WR: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

Good build quality
Large with a large hood
The lens moves to focus
Image Quality is equal
f/2.8 aperture with 13mm more reach
Great Bokeh

Mattias thinks that which you pick will depend on the lenses you plan to buy, but for him, the GF50mm is the lens to go with.

Warning Viltrox 23mm, 35mm, 85mm Will Scratch Fujifilm X-Pro3

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 13, 2020

https://www.facebook.com/viltrox.official/photos/a.1352562324880495/1822787647857958/

Viltrox released a statement on their Facebook page about how the Viltrox 23mm, 35mm, 85mm will damage your Fujifilm X-Pro3, because the lens release button is too close to the bayonet. Their statements can be seen above and the text is below:

Kind Reminder for Fujifilm X-Pro3 Users
For the sake of your camera, it would be better not to use Viltrox 23mm, 35mm, or 85mm X-mount lenses onto Fujifilm X-PRO3 model in case it will damage your camera. Due to structural conflict, they will scratch a little bit against each other.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused!
