Hi all,
Ok...even in the midst of looking forward to the R5...this weekend I got side tracked watching YouTube videos about the GFX 50 and even the 100.
I then got wind that with various adapters, you could use EF lenses (and even some Hasselblad V system lenses and others ) on the digital MF sized sensors on the GFX cameras.
I see comments that "not all EF FF lenses' image circles will cover the GFX's larger sensor....but some will".
I cannot for the life of me find a list of EF lenses that will cover the sensor.
Looking for a little help if anyone knows how to find such a list, or how to find the specs and calculate if it would or not for a given lens.
Anyone?
Also, I"ve been starting to see various adapters...to allow mounting the EF lenses to the GFX mount. I see mostly from Fotodiox and Techart.....both seem to claim they will work well with EF lenses to allow auto focus, and aperture control, and so far videos I've seen seem to show them to work fairly well, even autofocus didn't seem too bad from the demos I saw.
I'm wondering which would be the best to work with EF glass?
The only lenses I've seen that seem to have an image circle large enough for sure to cover the digital MF sensor were the EF TS lenses...the 90mm seemed to cover it even when fully tilted or shifted....with some slight vignetting on the 24, 17 and 45, but even some of those weren't bad.
Anyway...I know it's mostly an exercise in agonizing over money I can't and don't need to spend...BUT, I've got the itch in my brain to research this and who knows...what happens if a deal comes along.
At this point, I think I'd start saving for the GFX100....as that it seems to offer the most difference than any FF camera out there...but at $10K body only that's really $$$$.
Some of that pain might be alleviated if I could start right off to bat...using some of the many EF lenses I have.....
I also have some Hassy V system lenses too....which would take another adapter, but would add to the stash of lenses I could use right off to bat if I were to somehow come up with the scratch to buy the camera body.
And yes, I know I need another hole in my head too....
Thanks in advance,
cayenne
