Wow Wow Wow, I am in love with the new camera and adapter! Cyber Monday brought the Fuji GFX 50R down enough to say just do it and I got the expensive boosted version of the Metabones adapter. to give pretty much 1 to 1 with my Nikkors.
I am delighted to say, no crop at all! And the files that come from it, I am just floored! Here are a few test photos on some of the lenses.
I will have some more later, I took out the Fisheye, 20 2.8 Ultra, 45P, 55 2.8, 15 3.5, 50-300 ED. All worked exceptionally. In adapter heaven now!
Nice snag!
I never had luck with the focal expanders and went the Pentax medium format lenses and Nikkor large format lenses route with the 50S. Good to see that your combo works well
FYI - the Nikkor for Bronica medium format lenses work well if you control the light (can have flare), but the adapter combo for it makes it very unwieldy. I can imagine how it would be on the frame of the 50R.
Most of the F mount Nikkor fast primes over 50mm cover the sensor quite well without needing the expander. Especially if you like shooting a 5x4 crop.
Also the 50mm/3.5 GFX lens is a must have. Only native Fuji lens I have.
Have fun!

Hi George, I got the fotodiox adapter, Bronica S to EOS, EOS to GFX but the first Bronica I recieved doesnt seem to mate onto its end of the adapter. Wrong adapter?
Did you get just the lens or did it also come with the focusing helicoid ring? There are two components on a Bronica camera. The lens mounts into a separate helicoid. That focusing ring is what mounts to the Fotodiox adapter.
Example below left to right:
Fotodiox adapter > Focusing Ring/Helicoid > Nikkor 75mm for Bronica

Ahh, I wondered about that, was reading about those today, so the helicoid adapter is needed, 10-4, got it! One of the ones I ordered will have one. Are they needed for each different lens? That will be a challenge if so, lol!
