GFX 100 II + Canon 300 2.8 IS 1
Beautiful! I shot with this lens for years on Canon DSLRs, and I was always excited when I could get a close-up of a bird without a TC, because while the lens was great even with a 2x, it was special on its own.
It looks like the lens adapts nicely to GFX. FWIW, I also had great luck with the lens with a Kenko 1.4x and Canon 1.4x II, and a Canon 2x II. Very little sharpness loss with either.

Anyone has adapted the CV40/1.2 M mount? I wonder how bad the vignetting would be.
Considering how bad it is already on the native 24x36, I see no point in adapting that lens. Unless you are only gonna shoot closeups, and that particular lens is very soft at MFD. Plus it doesn't focus very close in Leica M mount (which is the only one you can adapt to GFX).

I use the Nikon 58/1.4 and it’s excellent on my GFX100S. Corners are a bit mushy at f/1.4, but no more so than 50’s have been historically, and when do you need edge-to-edge sharpness at f/1.4 on medium format anyway? In any case, it is very clean by f/2.8.
If you can live with that (and a bit of LoCA wide open), you’re rewarded with a lens with beautiful rendering. If you’ve shot with the Canon 85/1.2, Leica 50/1.4, or Nikon 105/1.4, it’s in that league. The lens oozes character, and it’s fully intact on GFX. It doesn’t hurt that it has full AF support on GFX, either!
Speaking of the 105/1.4, I know it’s longer than what you want, but it’s outstanding as well. Flawless, really. If you’re shopping 100’s, it’s an easy choice, especially if you shoot other systems as well. I use mine on GFX and Z, and it’s the best portrait lens I will likely ever own....Show more →

Not sure why you claim is bad at its original size. sure wide open is gostly, but from 1.8 is as good as the CV APO lenses.
Because it was my most used lens on a Sony camera for two years or something. And I was referring to vignetting, not sharpness.
The APO lenses vignette like hell too, so that doesn't say much.
Really enjoying the Canon 40 pancake lately.. especially the Storm Trooper look of the white one on the GFX 100 II. And thus.. it's the feature for October's video. Not sure on November's video yet, could be the Pentax 645 45 or the Pentax 150-300... or I was thinking looking at the latest 50 Summilux-M.. Will have to see.

Nice video. Only thing would be to add comparison with close GF lens like the 45mm f2.8.

Wondering if there is a F to GFX adapter (AF not needed) that has a aperture ring to adapt the sigma 105.
If the Sigma is G-type there are manual adapters to change aperture. If it’s an E-type lens with electronically controlled aperture I think the only ones available are AF as well.
