Fuji GFX- leaf shutter??

[aztwang]

Has there ever been any talk from Fuji about producing a leaf shutter lens for GFX? And would the GFX/GFXs be capable with only firmware updates?
It would be such a plus for the GFX system.

The GFX can already use the leaf shutter in the Hasselblad .HC lenses via Fuji’s adapter. Works brilliant. The HC lenses are made by Fuji anyway. So I am sure they are fully capable.

Is there a specific lens firmware requirement that the HC lenses have to have to work with the Fuji adapter?

 

[P. Chong]

all my lenses are quite old, and all work flawlessly. I have the 28, 80, 50-110 and 120.

The HC adapter's firmware must be updated too.

My HC lenses are from 2007'ish and work without issues.

I believe the H lenses are manual focus only when adapted to the GFX.

 

[P. Chong]

yes, they are manual focus only. But focus peaking works well, as does the zoom in feature to enable critical focusing.

so how to adjust the aperture when using an H lens on GFX?

 

[P. Chong]

You can adjust on the camera. All the modes work - M, P, A, S.

Just note that when the GFX adjusts the aperture as requested via a command dial, it does it THEN, not automatically at the time of exposure (as does the X series with H lenses). It's stop-down metering, etc., but you can just program a back button for preview in manual focus to twitch preview on/off as desired when focusing and composing.

The H series lenses are strong performers on the GFX and the ability at the push of a button to go from leaf shutter with 1/800 sync or body shutter at 1/4000 max and (if able with your lights) use HSS is nice. Also means you can save activations of the leaf shutter when sync at 1/125 (say in studio) is fine.
