p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Fuji GFX 50R/S - Naming manual lenses?


On my Fuji X cameras, there are pre-defined "names" for adapted manual lenses, plus two open slots you can use for focal lengths that are not pre-defined. The focal length you choose is the name for the lens, so if you want to use your 17mm lens, you know which one it is. That works great.

Now on a GFX 50R/S, I can define all the positions for adapted lenses -- which is fantastic! But unless I'm missing something really obvious in the settings, I'm going to have to remember that "1" is 35mm, "2" is 55 mm, etc. -- because the focal lengths don't show next to the number. Is that how it works? If so, I hope this gets fixed in a future firmware update.

Yeah, that seems to be how it works, which is pretty damn stupid. And why are there only 6 slots? I suppose that most people using adapted lenses have a whole bunch of them. At least I do.

Blast! I suppose I will have to get better at remembering...

It really is an asinine oversight though (but surely simple to fix in firmware).

Yeah, I have more than six lenses, so I have to remember when I go out to make sure I have the right ones named in the list. It is easy to change which label you want when you change lenses, but I wish they had a much longer list. My Nikon Z7 let's you label up to 20 lenses.

I meant to try this, and forgot about it. Does it carry through to EXIF data?

The focal length yes, but the aperture no.

I hold out hope that this will be fixed. I just noticed that the GFX 50R is at firmware version 1.0. On one hand, that speaks well to the release quality (in other words, they haven't had to release endless updates to fix glitches). On the other hand, I hope they've collected a nice package of updates -- including better support for alt lenses!
