Guys, CineD has posted a proof of concept video of the GFX100RF with a anamorphic 1.5x adapter for video.
I'm sure those focused on image quality first, and eager to be critical, will point out the obvious -- that this can be done far better and far more cheaply and on APS-C.
Obviously. This is just a quick video with what the guy had on hand just to show it could be done. The edges look terrible, the hacks to get it to work make the exercise pointless. Let's not miss the point of this video here.
With that out of the way, this does confirm that the GFX100RF adapter ring, just like the X100 series, results in a female 49mm thread (and it looks to me the adapter ring, which has a bayonet for the lens hood, is what they used here? I wonder if that worsens the vignetting compared to a potentially thinner one?)
It kinda makes you wonder what would happen if you just screw on the old X100 converter lenses (I'm assuming the male threads on the camera itself are also 49mm -- assuming they are, obviously I wouldn't be surprised if there were issues... but maybe not?)
Again, as someone who has used 6x6 medium format film for street portraits (whether TLR or 500C SLR style with WLF), the ergonomics of the GFX100RF + adapter and tilting LCD looks promising, just like the Hasselblad 907x + certain XCD lenses.
This is a far cheaper and arguably more flexible alternative for this application -- the only question is how long before there will be conversion lenses (or hacks) for focal lengths of acceptable quality.
