Glad to hear that Teamwork was able to get you taken care of!My Cambo CA GFX Canon lens adapter has arrived. Well made, and it works as advertised with the Canon 24mm TS-E lens.
It has a built in battery and a small rear facing led screen that displays the lens focal lengh (24mm in the case of the Canon TS-E tilt shift lens I have tried it with) and the selected aperture. The aperture is set using a small dial top left of the adapter.
Quite a pricey adapter but it is well made, smaller than the mock up shots suggested, and most importantly, liberates the 24mm TS-E for proper use with apertures selectable using the adapter.
Supplied along with a small cambo storage charger to recharge the adapter as required. A nice touch.
I will post a few shots of the GFX with the adapted 24mm TS-E ( effectively now a 19mm super wide) when I have a few spare moments.
Purchased from Teamwork Photo in London.
I have seen quite a few adapted lenses images on the gfx, but i have not yet seen any good sample, all present the same bad sharpness, smearing and staristep aliasing or strong CA...Ps, while it seems to be the V-mount on the Hasselblad FE lenses. But will a 50/2.8 FE work properly on the Fotodioxadapter on the GFX?

I would be very very interested to see any good image quality wirh adapted lenses on this Fuji....
Thanks for the link, i have not read all, but what i have seen seems to confirm my opinion that adapted lenses are nit playing well with the fuji.Jim Kasson has an excellent blog with extensive and very thorough tests of various adapted and native lenses here
Fujifilm GFX-50S Review
I think the blog on the GFX now runs to about 50 pages and should answer your question.
Thanks Quentin, Jim Kassen don't mention any Hassy FE, CF etc. lenses, so I wrote him. But when the Fotodiox V-adapter will arrive at Goecker the local Copenhagen GFX and Hassy dealer, they will call, so we can try if the Hassy Carl Zeiss FE 50/2.8 distagon lens can do anything on the GFX. Its the only lens, I kept apart from my SWC. And its a lens "worth to die for" I think. Heavy, big but....Jim Kasson has an excellent blog with extensive and very thorough tests of various adapted and native lenses here

While no-one wants to rain on this interesting parade, it is an education to discover just how poor supposedly 'great' older film lenses are when measured up digitally. Zeiss told me as much with a 'why bother, it's not worth it' when trying to adapt one of their rarer best lenses to use on an Alpa-Phase combo.I have seen quite a few adapted lenses images on the gfx, but i have not yet seen any good sample, all present the same bad sharpness, smearing and staristep aliasing or strong CA...

If anyone has a Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 they can try on the GFX, I would love to know the performance and vignetting. If it's good I might be tempted to get this lens (the new version III one) to use with both my GFX and my A7RII....
Thanks Erik, per my post, I am interested in the version III specifically, so I was wondering if anyone had an opportunity to test it on the GFX. I do have the 11-24L although there is significant vignetting on the wide and tele ends due to the built in hood I believe. I just got back from a couple of days of shooting with both the A7RII and the GFX, and I used the A7RII most of the time due to its stellar performance with the 17mm TS-E and 11-24mm...Hi,
That lens doesn't perform to well on the Canon 5DIII, the 16-35/4L is a much better performer. The 16-35/2.8LII has been replaced by the LIII version, a superior lens.
A lens to look out for is the 11-24/4L, it is known to perform very well on the Sony 44x33 mm sensor.
Best regards
Erik

I reallze that this is a thread about adapted lenses but Kasson mentioned that native lenses need to be recoated every two years. I'd find that a great reason NOT to buy into this camera system. I've never been fan of adapting non native enses.Jim Kasson has an excellent blog with extensive and very thorough tests of various adapted and native lenses here
