New GFX Cambo adapter for the Canon 7mm T-SE and 24mm T-SE lenses

 

Today Cambo announced a new lens adapter to fit Canon lenses to the Fujifilm GFX50s.

The CA-GFX will be the third Canon lens adapter that Cambo have manufactured and marketed for camera movement. Having successfully adapted Canon lenses to the Cambo ACTUS (ACB-CA) and more recently the WIDE series camera (WRES-CA.) It was a natural transition to manufacture the adapter as it gives many photographers the option of using their existing lenses with the latest mirrorless, large sensor, Fujifilm GFX50s (CA-GFX.)

The CA-GFX adapter fits directly to the bayonet of the GFX camera body and the lens aperture is controlled electronically when dialling in the required f-stop. As there is no direct connection between lens and body, there is no data received; aperture, auto-focus or EXIF, from the lens.

Why make this lens adapter?

The Fujifilm GFX50s sensor measures 33x44mm and Canon lenses such as the 17mm T-SE and 24mm T-SE have very large image circles, they will cover the sensor size and will enable the photographer to apply movement.

Next Stock of Fuji GFX cameras will ship out on March 30 in Europe

There is still no store in USA and Europe that has the Fuji GFX in Stock (Check: BHphoto, Amazon). The next shipment is due to start on March according to Calumet Germany. I am really surprised to see such a high demand for $6,500 camera. I am now seriously hoping Sony and others will make a medium format camera too. That way price may go down to $4,00 :)

And now some adapter news: Kipon annopunced a total of twenty adpaters for the GFX (Full info here). And this is the video showing the new Fotodiox GFX adapters:

Meyer Optik Görlitz ’Mystery lens’ will be unveiled this Thursday on Kickstarter

Meyer Optik Görlitz just sent me this:

Dear Meyer-Optik supporter,

Get ready – the final jewel of our Trioplan Trilogy of lenses will be unveiled this Thursday at 10 a.m. EST (4 p.m. CET) on Kickstarter.
While we can’t reveal the exact details of this lens, it will bring the Trioplan’s signature “soap bubble bokeh” to a wide angle lens for the first time. We think street and nature photographers will both be excited about the creative potential of this new lens.
Don’t miss your chance to be one of the first in line to get this new Trioplan lens, which will join the Trioplan 100mm f2.8 and Trioplan 50mm f2.9 in the Meyer-Optik lineup of premier, hand-crafted art lenses. Of course early Kickstarter backers will benefit from a groundbreaking price.

Best regards,
Dr. Stefan Immes and the Meyer-Optik Team
