Introduction

 

This  product  is  compatible  with Canon  EF  mount  and  Fujifilm  G  mount  protocols.  It  can  control 

lens’ aperture electronically, auto focus and report lens information for EXIF recording.

 

There  is  a built

-

in  electronic  aperture  ring  just  like  native  GF  lenses.  And  it  employs  contactless 

sensors  so  that  you  don’t  need  to  worry  about  wearing  problems.  In  addition  to  the  electronic 

aperture ring, the adapter supports more unique features including Phase Detection AF (on GFX100 & 

GFX100S  only,  so  far),  IBIS,  Lens  IS  and  In

-

camera  LaCA  (Lateral  Chromatic  Aberration)  Correction, 

etc.

Compatibility

 

This  adapter  works  on  G  mount  cameras.  However,  due  to  capability  differences  of  different 

camera models, its performance may vary.     

 

On  cameras  without  PDAF  support,  such as  GFX50s,  GFX50r  and  GFX50s  II,  adapted  lenses  can 

only  work  in  the  CDAF  mode.  Most  of  lenses  on  the  tested  and  optimized  lens  list  should  work 

normally in the AF

-

S mode. However, as many EF mount lenses are not designed for contrast AF, AF 

speed may be slow. And AF accuracy may not be good, either. Meanwhile, AF

-

C mode is not supported. 

If AF performance can’t satisfy you, MF is recommended.

 

On  cameras  with  PDAF  support,  such  as  GFX100  and  GFX100S,  tested  and  optimized  lenses  AF 

much  faster  and  more  accurate.  In  some  circumstances,  the  experience  of  using  adapted  lenses  on 

these cameras is just like using a DSLR. Thus, if you are about to purchase a new G mount camera to 

use EF lenses, the 102M pixel models are highly recommended.

 

We have tested and optimized over 110 models of EF mount lenses. Compare to lenses not on the 

list, tested and optimized ones work better in both PDAF and CDAF modes. However, the EF mount is a
