Steelring Nikon F/GFX: Nikon F Mount For GFX Smart AF Adapter Demoed For The First Time

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 7, 2018

Steelsring is showing off their Steelring Nikon F/GFX adapter for the first time and the performance looks pretty good. Adapting Nikon lenses has always been difficult, but smart adapter companies have made a lot of progress over the past year or two. I am really looking forward to seeing how this adapter matures and I might have to get one myself so I can borrow some Nikon glass from the Nikonrumors admin in the future.

FEATURES:
1) Contrast based AF support to F-mount compatible type G, E and AF-P lenses
2) Auto aperture control for type E lens
3) Manual aperture lever for type G lens, real-time aperture control , nonadjustable from camera body, only the current max aperture is displayed in camera.
4) Full EXIF recording for supported lenses
5) Type D lens is not supported, AF is impossible with this adapter,EXIF is recorded.
6) Lens VR/OIS support
7) Support 35mm format mode of GFX
8) F-mount lenses AF performs better than EF lenses on GFX due to different AF driving mode.

STATUS:
Internal testing now, market available in later August or September.

SLR Magic Anamorphot 65 Works Great With Fujinon MK Lenses

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 5, 2018

SLR Magic has an Anamorphic adapter that works great on Fujifilm’s Fujinon MK lenses. If you simply must have the cinematic look then SLR Magic’s new adapter is probably the most affordable way to achieve it, but you will have to manually focus the lens and the adapter simultaneously, which can be tricky.

Fujifilm X-T100 Electronic Image Stabilization Tested

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 4, 2018

The Fujifilm X-T100 has a very effective EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) feature that is useful when recording video. The above video was shot handheld with the Fujinon XF90 f/2 and Fujifilm’s EIS system seems more than capable of absorbing motion at this focal range. Fujifilm’s EIS system even does a good job of maintaining consistent image quality when activated and recording. Most EIS systems degrade video quality when activated, but Fujifilm’s seems quite good.

Nikon F Mount AF Adapter For FUJIFILM GFX is Almost Here and Steelsring EF/FX and EF/GFX Firmware 2.02/2.04

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 3, 2018


Steelsring announced that their Nikon AF adapter for the Fujifilm GFX is approaching completion and shared a picture of one of their prototype along with its features:

Main features:

  1. Support Nikon AF-S G and E type lens, and AF-P G type lens contrast based AF in GFX 50s body.
  2. Electromagnetic diaphragm of type E Lens can be controlled by GFX 50s body, allows AF in full open ( decided by camera body ) and step down for exposure.
  3. Diaphragm of G type lens was manually controlled by aperture ring of adapter in real-time,  so AF is conducted in real effective aperture as exposure. AF performance may be bad in low light/contrast, benefits are 1) Real aperture priority,  2) and totally no noise of consistent IRIS moving.
  4. Full EXIF info recording. ( For G type lens, only the current max open aperture was displayed and recorded, no way to adjust it ).
  5. Lens VR was support and effective on demand.

FX mount version adapter is in design phase, maybe with better performance of PDAF and auto aperture control version for your choice.

Note:
Support to AF-D type lens will be very limited, EXIF may works, but no AF absolutely.

They also released firmware updates for the Steelsring EF/FX and Steelsring GFX/FX.

For both EF/FX and EF/GFX, followings were updated:

1) Lens Image Stabilizer activation mode change: From always on after camera powered on to effective only when shutter button was half pressed and camera exposing.
2) Solved the problem that sometimes lens was identified as wrong lens.
3) Improve AF accuracy for all lenses, and AF speed for Canon EF 100-400 lenses
4) Disable lens parking in infinity end if an AF lens is set to MF mode during picture reviewing or camera powered off.

Additionally for EF/FX only:

5) PDAF performance update for
EF 35mm f/1.4L II
EF 50mm f/1.2L
EF 50mm f/1.4
EF 85mm f/1.2L II
