Using a vintage lens on a digital medium format camera - Fujifilm GFX 50S II + Mamiya RB67 🎞️ 📸 

Less than 1,000 subscribers? I hope you plan on a youtube career, because I think the content, editing and awareness in this video alone warrants it!

Great video! Would love to see more of your post production process. I love the look you achieved with the digital photo.

Great video mate! I’m thinking about getting an adapter to use my Mamiya 7 lenses on my gfx 50s. Watching this has been really helpful

Excellent video dude, I like those hybrid camera experiments

Incredible video! This is such an interesting concept. I didn't realize you had less than 300 subs until I went to the comments. You earned my follow. I'm confident your channel will catch some traction soon with this high quality content.

Absolutely phenomenal video! I managed to get my hands on the 55mm and I’ll be pairing it with the same camera. So it’s nice to see a video of these two things working together with good explanation behind it.

James, great content and love your style - exact replica of you in person. Thanks for today and will be back! Mash

Beautiful work man

The video I was looking for exactly! I’m sold for getting a Fotodiox and use my RB’s lenses on my GFX. Thanks a lot!

You deserve so many more subscribers!!! Keep up your hard work!

Great vid! Wonderful to see our adapter in action!

Everyone’s dream photography teacher ✨ Also. The Lanes tee. Bristol ✊🏽

That lens is a BEAST!

Oh my god, I’ve been trying to get this adapted for this exact lens for AGES to use with my 50s!

how the hell do you only have 233 subscribers?! awesome video man

VERY good video, should u advice 50 S II for slow wedding shooting?

This is super cool! Curious what your favorite stocks were to shoot on you RB67

Used a friend's gfx50r on a trip. The shot I took was pretty much pitch black we edited it and it was fully recovered. That blew me away lol

Thats a beast tho. Tnx for the video. I have a handful of GFX lenses that I really need. But there are always special lenses you do not use a lot. Adapting would be better for those.

Hi James, so glad I came across this video! As I fitted Pentax 6x7 lens onto my Fujifim gfx 50r, the camera just wouldn't let me fire the shutter (viewing is fine), however as soon as I switch back to its original lens it works fine - is there any setting on the camera I should be careful with when adapting a vintage lens? Also, liked your explanation on dynamic range 👍

is the IBIS working on 3rd party lens?

great video

Hi, thanks for this video. Just one question ...do you get vignetting using the RZ lens on Fuji GFX? Thank you

Hi ! I have a question for you , I have the same adaptater for my rz lenses and my GFX 50s but I can’t change the aperture … I can only change iso and speed. Is it normal ? Thank you

I think I am now ready to buy these.. stocks are back. Just a couple of questions, if I may,-- how much light do you lose with this adapter in between the body and the lens? A stop and a half perhaps because it is a long tube, sort of..

How do you focus? Does the adapter have a helicoid or something? Cheers

Wow... You Sold me on this Fujifilm Camera, and this Idea, as I have an RB 67 sitting here in a Bag, that I haven't used in Years... (I have used my M645 1000s though more recently) I wonder how Those Lenses from the M645 would work on this Camera... It might be closer to the Sensor size. Do you know if they make an Adapter? I have 3 lenses for the RB67, but 5 lenses for the M645. To Remind people what the "RB" stands for... it has a "Rotating Back", so you can do Vertical 6x7 cm shots without turning the Camera from it's normal Waist Level. A Nice Big Negative or Slide, on my Favorite Fuji-Chrome 50 Slide Film. Way Better than anything Digital, if you have your own Darkroom for Color as I still do. (Proper Chemistry keeps getting harder to find for Color Film and Prints though.) I do have a 4800 DPI Film Scanner, and a 6x7cm Color Slide works out to be something like a 360 megapixel Image... You should see 4x5" sheet film scanned. Totally Insane! ... I have yet to scan an 8x10 inch sheet film. Forgot to mention, I also have Large Format View Cameras for 4x5 inch and 8x10 inch Film... and a few lenses for each. So, Now you have me wondering if anyone makes a "Tilt Shift" type adapter, for this Fuji that will take these lenses on a Horseman Board or Similar. Thanks So Much for Brightening up My Day! I see you also Like my Favorite Manfrotto Tripod... Very Light, Strong and Inexpensive... Most bang for the Buck for sure, and Smart Design. Oh.. BTW... I realize that 4 years is a Long Time for someone as Young as you... a Blink of an Eye for someone as Old as me... lol (you will see what I mean as you get older.) Nice Video! ... Great Job! ... Best of Luck to you with your RU-vid Channel...

may i ask how you film your video for youtube?

Hi there, I know this is a bit too late.. but I was wondering if you still remember the aperture you used when taking the close up picture of your friend? His whole face is so sharp… I reckon you didn’t use the lowest aperture?

Do vintage lens give vintage effects?

Keep going.. I am late for the party. The Fotodiox site says " sold out" .. Well, may be for good?
