Metabones EF to Fuji G Mount T Smart Adapter (GFX) (MB_EF-FG-BT1)
Electronic
• Canon EF mount lens to Fujifilm G-mount camera.
• Autofocus. Phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) is supported no matter which AF lens is used. Adapters support PDAF by translating pertinent metadata about the optics between the lens interfaces. In this way, broad support of the widest range of lenses is made possible.
• Lens iris/aperture is set by the controls on the camera body.
• Optical image stabilization (IS) lens support.
• Smooth iris support with the latest Canon (2009+), Tamron (SP series 2013+) and Sigma (2016+) lens models.
• Focal length and aperture are adjusted in EXIF.
• LED indicator shows communication status.
• Powered by camera body. With most lenses, no external power source required.
Mechanical
• The tripod foot is detachable and compatible with Arca Swiss, Markins and Photo Clam ball heads.
• Flocking to reduce internal reflection.
• Aluminum alloy and brass construction with chromium plating.
• Satin surface finish.
• Detachable Arca-Type tripod foot compatible with Arca Swiss, Markins, and Photo Clam ball heads(clamp directly or attach to quick release plate by a 1/4-20 screw).
Note: Canon EF-mount Lens (both full-frame and APS-C lens )may not have enough coverage for the GFX cameras when used in conjunction with this optic-free adapter.
Limitations
• In some rare cases lens hoods designed for 3:2 may need to be removed for 4:3 use with Smart Expander.
• Each lens needs to go through a calibration procedure
• Autofocus may have unsatisfactory performance and may not work at all with some lenses
• For video autofocus, increasing FOCUS SENSITIVITY and decreasing AF SPEED are required under the AF-C CUSTOM SETTING (MOVIE) menu.
• For video, aperture priority or manual exposure is recommended to avoid exposure flickering. EF lenses are not capable of fine-grained control of the aperture required by Fujifilm cameras.
• AF+MF and lens aberration correction are not supported.
• Some film-era lenses may not be able to achieve 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.
• Aperture diaphragm makes frequent noises with older lenses. Use aperture priority and manual exposure modes, or use a lens which supports smooth iris.
• 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.
• 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 which 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.
Unsupported List
• Lens correction such as peripheral shading, CA and distortion
• Focus confirmation chip (e.g. Dandelion)
