Metabones Smart Expander for Fujifilm GFX https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/24773/metabones-smart-expander-for-fujifilm-gfx Mon, 23 Nov 2020 21:29:51 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 24773@/talks/discussions

image

Will this full-frame EF mount lens sufficiently cover the medium format sensor of Fujifilm GFX cameras? With Metabones® EF-GFX Smart Expander™, the answer is always "yes".

Multiplying the focal length by 1.26x and the F-number by the same amount, Metabones EF-GFX Smart Expander perfectly matches the image circle of full-frame EF mount lenses to the medium-format sensor of the GFX series cameras, with the diagonal field-of-view (FoV) remaining exactly the same.

The optical design consists of 5 elements in 3 groups, incorporating ultra-high index Lanthanum-based optical glass as well as one element made of fused silica, resulting in extremely good performances with professional-grade zoom lenses. For example, a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens becomes a 30-88mm f/3.5 zoom, and a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens becomes an 88-252mm f/3.5 zoom.  And perhaps most exciting of all, the 11-24mm f/4 Canon becomes an extremely sharp 13.8-30.2mm f/5 without any disturbing vignetting or corner aberrations. Due to the nature of focal extenders, the aperture values decrease by 2/3 of a stop; f/2.8 becomes f/3.5 and f/2 becomes f/2.5. High-speed fixed focal length lenses such as the 50mm f/1.4 will be transformed into a very fast 63mm f/1.8 standard lens for the GFX system.

Electronic Features

The EF GFX mount Smart Expander features Metabones' electronic integration, including phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) and in-body image stabilization (IBIS) on GFX 100, optical image stabilization (called IS/OS/VC by various lens manufacturers), and smooth iris.

To the best of our knowledge, Metabones makes the only Fujifilm adapters, which support IBIS with every EF mount lens, including long telephotos and zoom lenses. There is no need to wait or hope for other adapter vendors to add IBIS support for your lenses at their next firmware update. With Metabones, IBIS support is general and across-the-board.

When a recent lens that supports smooth iris is used, Metabones makes aperture changes quiet and creates smooth transitions by slowing down the electronically-controlled aperture diaphragm. The button on the Smart Expander toggles between auto aperture (programmed exposure or shutter priority) and manual aperture (aperture priority or manual exposure). If a manual lens with no electronics is attached, the button brings up the manual lens selection on the camera body so that focal length can be chosen for correct IBIS operation and EXIF.

EF-GFX Smart Adapter

Without Caldwell Photographic's optics but otherwise, with the same electronic integration, EF-GFX Smart Adapter™ is an alternative for the adventurous. In many cases, there will be vignetting and degradation in corner performance. However, tilt-shift lenses will work perfectly fine from corner to corner, and most zoom lenses will nicely cover the large sensor in the middle and long end of the zoom range. A nifty feature is added where the user may configure the Smart Adapter and it will remember which lenses need to be in 35mm crop mode and which ones cover medium format. This saves time by not having to navigate the camera's menus for a 35mm crop after a lens change.

Limitations and Issues

Disclosure of known limitations and issues with the initial release:

  1. In some rare cases, lens hoods designed for 3:2 may need to be removed for 4:3 use with Smart Expander.
  2. Each lens needs to go through a calibration procedure when first used. Refer to the online user manual on Metabones' web site for instructions.
  3. Autofocus may have unsatisfactory performance and may not work at all with some lenses
  4. For video autofocus, increasing FOCUS SENSITIVITY and decreasing AF SPEED are required under the AF-C CUSTOM SETTING (MOVIE) menu.
  5. AF+MF and lens aberration correction are not supported.
  6. Some film-era lenses may not be able to achieve the sufficient AF accuracy required for digital cameras. Worn lenses with faulty sensors may lead to AF problems on a mirrorless camera even though the lens may appear to function normally on a DSLR.
  7. Aperture diaphragm makes frequent noises with older lenses. Use aperture priority and manual exposure modes, or use a lens that supports smooth iris.
  8. With IS/OS/VC lenses the IS MODE setting is ignored and both SHOOTING ONLY and CONTINUOUS modes behave in the same way which is similar to a Canon camera but different from what Fujifilm OIS lenses do. This is done to maximize IS effectiveness. A negative consequence of this is that there may be no OIS during focus check.
  9. MF Distance Display does not work (although AF Distance Display does if the lens transmits distance information).

Since Metabones has a track record of releasing new firmware updates that significantly improve the features, performance, compatibility, and reliability of existing products, these limitations are subject to change in the future. Please refer to the product pages on Metabones' web site for the most up-to-date disclosure. To update firmware, download Metabones App™ from Metabones' web site on a Mac or a Windows PC and connect the Metabones product to the computer with a micro-USB cable. The same Metabones App upgrades firmware for all Metabones products.

MonsterAdapter proudly announced the LA-KE1 electronic adapter, the first of its kind in the world. It's to adapt the Pentax K Mount KAF lenses to Sony E Mount mirrorless bodies with the features including auto-focus, aperture control and EXIF recording etc.

The main features of the MonsterAdapter LA-KE1 include:

  1. The world's first AF adapter for K Mount. It's equipped with dual motors for screw-drive AF and iris control from the body.*1
  2. Designed for full frame, offering options of more than 10 e mount camera bodies for KAF lens users.
  3. Unleash full potentials of KAF lenses with the most advanced PDAF capability from mirrorless bodies. With the reliable AF accuracy, you may be surprised by the sharpness of your old lenses like never before.
  4. Allows the bodies' powerful PDAF capabilities*2 to work with KAF lenses, opening a whole new world for users with
    • much larger AF points coverage across the frame;
    • human & animal eye-focusing;
    • AI-assisted continuous auto focus (AF-C) with high frame rates like 10-30 fps, whatever is offered by the mirrorless body;
  5. Compatible with KAF、KAF2、KAF3、KAF4 lenses.*3
  6. Build in contacts, it can recognize the lens and transfer EXIF to the body.

Note: Because of the limits of the old screw-drive lenses like AF noise and power consumption, LA-KE1 is designed for still shooting only and its most features are not available when shooting videos.

The LA-KE1 is planned to hit the market within this year. The detailed information such as the lens support list, pricing and availability will be officially revealed later on our pages on Facebook and Sina Weibo.

  1. If the lens is with the aperture ring, it needs to be put on "A" mode to allow the adapter to work properly with AF, otherwise the adapter will only allow MF.
  2. What exactly the PDAF related capabilities are available will depend on the body being used with the adapter. Please refer to the camera manual for detailed information.
  3. The adapter will support the screw-drive AF and mechanic lever aperture control lenses (F, FA, DA, DFA series) first, and through firmware updates, it will later support the motorized AF lenses (SDM, DC) and the electromagnetic aperture lenses. And, the older A and M series lenses will not be supported.

The new system, which allows users to switch filters using a handy tool, (provided) arrives as a gamechanger for image-makers keen to use the best quality filters in the most economical manner.

Users familiar with STC’s clip filters will know that mounting and removal is fast and simple and safe. Designed to sit in the camera mount, between the lens and sensor, the new interchangeable clip filters, which are constructed with Aerospace grade 6061 aluminium alloy and processed with precision CNC machining, will sit completely flush within the camera with no chance of touching the sensor. Compatible with the Canon EOS R, Ra and RP, every filter comes complete with double-sided NANO anti-smudge coating, making them completely waterproof, grease-proof and easy to clean.

The new STC Interchangeable Clip Filter’s patented design keeps the glass completely fixed and steady within the frame, meaning zero distortion from pressure, thermal expansion or contraction. This ensures sharp images even at long focal lengths.

Ultimate Versatility

All STC Clip Filters can be combined with the brand’s traditional circular filters to give photographers and videographers an extensive palette of artistic and practical possibilities.

William Wu, CEO and Lead Design Engineer, STC, said: “The team at STC has been working tirelessly to produce this new type of clip filter. Building on the ‘one filter - any lens’ message, known by so many photographers and videographers across the globe with our existing clip filter systems, the new interchangeable version goes even further by giving ultimate ability to expand filter types within minutes. Our market-leading glass and nano filter coating technology carry through with the new system, meaning users can expect the same imaging excellence that STC is renowned for. We will be introducing this system for a number of popular brands, so watch this space as we make further announcements.”
