I literally looove your content man, you've inspired me to get in touch with my Spanish routes! My goal is to learn conversational Spanish by my vacation to PR in July. Also I love the cinematic touch you give your videos, absolutely phenomenal!
Thanks for posting. I recently bought the Fringer EF-FX Pro II, and have been using it with my Sigma 150-600C on a Fuji XT-3. So far I’m happy with the results...I do a lot of bird and nature photography. The only downside is the combination isn’t quite as good at picking up birds against a complex background as say, the native Fuji 100-400. The trade off is MUCH longer reach. I have learned to adjust my shots (and expectations) accordingly.
Outstanding video review Jonathan! Using these two lens adapters give me the opportunity to try Sigma are Canon lenses on my xt3 xt2 camera bodies. I am looking forward to buying the Voltex's lens adapter to experience the full frame effect with the Fuji mirrorless camera systems! Thank you so much for your video on these topics!
7:03 a well-balanced footage... nothing is blown out or underexposed... often in videos skies are totally blown out... but you seemed to have done a great job! Greetings from Sweden
Outstanding video, thanks! Is it me or does the Sigma look sharper than the Fuji lens? Heavily considering the XT3 over the A7III for lens size and overall price vs. capability (Pervious Canon & Nikon shooter).
Great review. Really shows off how well the X-T3 performs. I own 4 x Fujifilm X-T3's and a Fringer Pro l and Pro ll and use the Sigma Art 135mm f/1.8 lens on it and am so impressed. Also receivingmy Fotodiox EF to GFX adapter tomorrow and can't wait to check that out as well.
I really want the legendary Sigma 18-35 for filmmaking and that speedbooster is making me think hard about it - especially for that almost full frame look.
Hey man, great video! Was actually looking to buy the XT3 and I'm undecided between getting the 18-35 or the kit lens. I'm shooting music videos and I think the Sigma 18-35 would be nice but I'm also thinking I could just rent that for the event if needed. For vlogs & youtube vids do you find yourself using the 18-55 more? Thx!
Have you? I'm considering it as well, but I find it difficult to part from my glass. Was wondering how the adapters work long term, like using Fuji cameras with only Canon glass.
@@dingdingdingdiiiiing Well, at the moment of this comment I already migrate! And let me tell you, it is worth it! I think the most difficult thing is to get used to new menus and controls but you learn to "approach" your equipment in a different way.
@@dingdingdingdiiiiing didn't try any canon lens yet. I'm using an XF 16-80 and a Meike 35mm. I didn't too much stuff yet. Soon I'll do my comparations
Hey Jonathan...thank you so much for your effort you put into those videos...I'm really glad that the fringer does such a good job! Could you confirm if the Tamron 18-400 or a standard ef 70-200 l usm would also work properly? Thank you so much!!
And you can say that some Canon lenses are performing better with the Fringer on Fufifilm cams as with native Canon DSLRs. We have them all: Fujifilm mirrorless cams, Canon DSLRs, Canon lenses and the Fringer adaptor. Some of our Canon lenses - especially the L series Tele Zoom lenses - are performing better on Fuji as on Canon. The reason is clear: Canon DSLRs have less AF Points and in some modes there are only 27, 9 or at f8.0 at leat one point. The Fujis have in all modes much more AF Points. We also have an old analogue Canon consumer zoom 80-200mm made in the 1990s for cheap beginner cams, Fringer hasn't registered such old lenses to the adaptors software. This old lens works fine with Cams as the Canon EOS77D and 80D. Stepped down to f8.0 to f22.0 this old lens performes very good compared to the newest Canon kit tele zoom leneses, eg. the 50-250mm. Even this dinosaur works fine with Fringer and Fuji. It fails to focus in Fujis auto mode and you have to focus manually. But in Fujis manual mode - this is to set the lever on Fuji cams top at the right side from A to M - and when reducing the Fujis Af points to one center point even this old dinosaur that isn't registered by Fringer works with AF. Not everytime, sometimes we have to take 3 or 5 images to get some in focus and sometimes - esp. in broad daylight every shot is in focus. We've also tried some other very old analogue Canon lenses, eg. the EF 35-70 and the 28-80, and with this lenses the AF fails almost every time.
Hopefully you see this question. I am looking at the xt3 and my question is with investment. I have been learning that buying lenses are important I have seen many videographers buy cinema lenses for canon. They can use these on their eos R or a c500 mkii. So the investment In canon glass is good for canon cameras. Is Fuji worth investing in since they don't make cinema cameras?
It honestly just depends. If you're planning on staying with the Fuji system then its worth investing. Fuji makes excellent lenses and for the most part, they are very affordable.
Good video. It helps me know how the jump to Fuji that I want to do from Canon might work. I use a Tamron SP45 1.8 DI VC. With these adapters I would have all the focus points of XT3 and would the stabilizer work? I want it for photos, no video. I know you may not have this lens on hand but from your experience do you think it would work? Thanks and Excellent Video.
A good insight of the smart adapters. It would be interesting if it works with the Canon 17-55 f2.8.. Or any equivalent lens from sigma/tamron. The only lens that Fuji is lacking (ff eq: 24-70 f2.8 with IS)
I’ll see if I can borrow the 17-55 from B&H and give it a try. From what I have heard it works excellent for stills but for video that lens is rather loud. I remember using it on a C200 and C300 and the autofocus motor was very audible and the focusing wasn’t as smooth as you would expect from Dual Pixel.
Same here, it’s honestly one of my personal favorites out of all of the cameras I’ve used. I find myself reaching for it more than my Sony’s and even my RED.
Hi I have finger pro 2 and ody xt200 when I put lens from canon 50mm f1.8 or tamron my autofocus is crazy,non stop working,engine work,when I make picture everything is okay after autofocus back to work and again is crazy working non stop,where is problem?
Hi man! Great video, thanks for the info. I saw Metabones released an EF-X speedbooster but haven't seen any footage on it yet. Do you know anything about it? I'm seriously considering now the XT4 for video and was looking for a way to adapt my EF and Contax Zeiss lenses...
Hey dude! Yeah, it looks awesome. I haven’t used it personally but I’ve seen a handful of videos on it. I’ve been thinking about picking one up as well. If I do I’ll definitely do a video.
Hey man, thanks for the video. I got a Fuji XE3 and I want to adapt some canon and nikon lenses for Macro video, I won't need autofocus, do you have a recommendation for an adapter? If I use a dummy adapter the focal lenght would be longer? Thanks
Depends if you by the speedbooster version EF-FX2 or the standard adaptor with no corrective glass in it EF-FX1. If you intend to use just crop EF-S lenses then get the cheaper FX1 version with no vignette.
No vignetting from my testing and it works great. IS can be hit or miss. They advertise that it works and it sometimes shoes that it is but then other times I don't get the confirmation on the screen the OIS is working.
Every Fuji OEM lens I have ever seen has a manual aperture dial. This is why they don’t have the controls setup for aperture control directly on the camera initially.
@@OT4Tech Then you've never seen the 16-50 kit lens or any other Fuji OEM XC lens that forces you to control the aperture from the body's command dial.
It sucks that Canon has driven people to this by not making an APS-C camera with IBIS or good video specs. Canon, Nikon, and Sony all need to benchmark the X-T4 and make an APS-C mirrorless camera to compete with that. Even the Sony a6600 lags behind the X-T4 in many respects.
@@Wonton0908 another beast lens is the sigma 17-50 f2.8 awesome lens for both portraits and landscape, street etc awesome value too. What's your budget bro?? Where you based?
there will be vignette. speedbooster is to bring down full frame image circle into as big as apsc. if you put apsc lens to the speed booster, of course the image circle will be smaller and vignatte. what you need is EF to FX adapter not a speedbooster.
I want to buy a Fuji XPro2 second hand. I have a Tamron 24-70 2.8 for Canon, and a Canon 50 1.8, 85 1.8, 20 2.8 and 200 2.8. Which adpater do you recommend to me, please?
I bought the Viltrox Fx1 adapter to mount my Canon EF and EFS lenses on fujifilm xt3. When I turned on the machine, the screen kept flashing and finally the "target error" message came out, making it unusable. So I tried to connect it to the computer to update it, but nothing is as if it did not exist, nothing appears neither on the desktop nor in the Finder. Am I wrong or is it just defective?
From what I can remember you need to use a windows machine to update the viltrox since the software does not support MacOS. This was the case when I updated my firmware at least.
Hey man! Just the vid I was looking for :) quick question so does the viltrox turn the sigma 18-35 into like an f1.0 or something? If so that’s awesome! Cheers man!
