I recently added the GF250 lens to my Gfx lineup. Great lens except for the tripod mounting foot. No Arca Swiss slot which I could easily adapt. But I often carry my heavy lenses by the foot and its too close to the barrel of the lens to get my hand in there. I see that Leofoto has a complete replacement foot that is listed for the GF100-200, the part number is FFC-01. I found references to the foot being the same on the GF100-200 as it is on the GF250. So two questions:
1) Has anyone tried this replacement foot on either GF100-200 or 250? If so, how is quality and fit?
2) Can anyone verify that the 100-200 and 250 have the same foot?
It seems odd that this foot would fit the GF250 and Leofoto doesn't advertise that fact. Thanks in advance,

Steve, I have both lenses and I picked up a generic replacement with the Arca Swiss slot and it works great on both lenses.
Can't remember the brand and it is not marked on the foot. I found it on amazon.
So to answer your question, both lenses use the same foot. If you like the Leofoto version, order it as it will work on the GF250.
Thanks Michael, great to have the fit confirmation. I have since found the Haoge foot available on Amazon, probably the one you had. I think I'll go with the Leofoto to get the bigger foot/handle.
I got the Leofoto FFC-01 today and it fits perfectly. Its Arca compatible and larger than the OEM piece. It has a little more clearance to the lens body if you are carrying it by the foot as I do. But I wish it had even more, like the XF150-600 foot. I removed the pad that screws onto the foot topside to get another little bit of clearance and that will work. Its seems like a missed opportunity for Fuji to offer upgrades like this for older lenses.
I use the Henjar replacements on many of my lenses. They are well designed and manufactured and they offer the one for the two lenses discussed in two different heights.
