Steelsring Canon EF to Fujifilm GFX/C645-GFX Smart Adapter Frimware 1.2b/1.1b Update

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 31, 2017


Steelsring just released a firmware update that is very similar to Fringer’s update from the other day. It removes lens corrections applied by the camera which could cause distortion since they weren’t designed for adapted lenses.

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 30, 2017

A helicoid equipped with a payout amount of 6 mm

Fringer C645-GFX Smart Adapter Frimware 2.3 Update

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 30, 2017


Fringer released firmware v2.3 today and it disables lens correction, which distorts the Contax 645 glass attached to the GFX. Above you can see crops of before (Left) and after (Right) the firmware is applied from Fringers site and below is the press release and links for the firmware.

V2.3 firmware is available now. It disables in-camera lens correction which let to severe distortion when connecting Contax 645 lenses to GFX50s using Fringer smart adapter.

Please download the firmware v2.3 and upgrade your adapter according to the steps in user manual(section 6). Or you can order a new Fringer Contax645-GFX smart adapter with the new firmware.

Fringer C645-GFX smart adapter is the world’s first smart adapter for Fujifilm mirrorless and medium frame cameras. Now it become world’s first again. As you know, Fujifilm lenses largely depend on software corrections. Whatever the file format you use, i.e. JPG or RAW, you cannot switch it off. Even in the view finder you can only see the after-correction results. Since currently all the smart adapters in the market are impersonating a G mount lens, the in camera lens correction severely disturbed the adapted lenses’ output.

Now, we totally solved the problem and integrated the solution in the firmware ver2.3. After upgrading your adapter, the Fujifilm’s lens correction would be disabled in the view finder and the JPG or RAW files the camera produces.

Fujinon GF 45mm F2.8 R WR Shipping November 16th According to Amazon and Additional Coverage

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 29, 2017

Amazon published the shipping date for the Fujinon GF 45mm, November 16th. It is a little odd that Fujifilm is launching a lens on sale, but they are pushing the GFX system hard right now with the current sale. If I didn’t have the GF 63mm already this lens would be hard for me to resist.

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 29, 2017

A reader contacted me to let me know Amazon USA listed November 30th as the shipment date for the Fujinon XF 80mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR. The Fujinon XF80 being their first 1:1 macro lens is an exciting lens for macro photography fans, but I am going to wait for a similar lens for the Fujifilm GFX.
