As an addendum, the finger Pentax 645 to gfx adapter is brilliant - it even does autofocus on Pentax lenses. And some of them are excellent. They've gone up in price a bit since the adapter came out in September, but there's some great glass at a significantly lower price than the Fujifilm...

I'd aim for a 50sii if you are going to use legacy glass. The ibis is definitely worth it. Image quality is still excellent for the kind of photography you are describing.

It was FedEx. For that adapter all duties were covered in the price and declared on the paperwork. Don't know if that's always the case (the gfx adapters are expensive)

I got their Pentax to Fuji adapter direct from them when it was released in September. No problems at all, fast shipping, good packaging. Would happily order from them again

That's the monthly cost for letting an existing 20GB plan run on. So looking to save on that!

Anyone know if this new plan stacks ok? I'm due for renewal on the new £15 quid per month price for the 20GB plan, so would like to push off any price increases for as long as possible

Fringer have released an AF adapter for Pentax 645 lenses to GFX. I got mine yesterday and tried it out with a 55mm, 120mm macro and the 150-300mm I've for sale (long story!). It works really well - it has a small motor in it for the screw-drive autofocus that most of the Pentax lenses use, but...

As stated elsewhere, the WCL is what you need here - it's small and doesn't impact image quality. The only difference between the first and second versions of it is the addition of a small magnet to allow the camera to automatically detect when the wide or tele converters are attached, so if you...

Really interesting video - much better idea of what Fuji might have been aiming for with this. Definitely not for me, but I do hope it finds a mark - it would be a real pity if it led to Fuji losing an appetite for trying things out!

The Fuji medium format "rangefinder" has been announced today: https://www.fujifilm-x.com/en-gb/products/cameras/gfx100rf/ It's not for me - for a small travel camera, the X100 series is good enough, and the 35mm (28mm equivalent) lens on the new MF camera is a bit wider than I like. It will be...

It might vignette, but is anyway worth getting the pk adapter - some of the 35mm format Pentax lenses have lovely character on gfx. The 77mm for example has fantastic rendering. Not perfectly sharp on the larger format, but really pleasing images

Happy Christmas all!

I think it really depends on how you want to do things with MF. I'm loving the Fujifilm route - the 50s/100s bodies make a lot of sense coming from the xh2s, so ably a small amount of muscle memory to relearn. Price is just about affordable for me and they are medium format "enough" that I'm...

Not sure what your current lens is, but I've been loving the tamron 17-70 as a standard lens. Sharp enough, light, nice range and f2.8

We had a clear night for the northern lights last night, so went into the park behind our house with the 100sii and the 23mm. The files are so pleasurable to work with - can really make the colours pop and get the details out from the structure in the aurorae. Big lesson learned though - the...
