I guess that is what makes the fish sink. Still, a nice change from mercury...This area of the Fall Creek gorge is directly below the now defunct Ithaca Gun company factory and there is serious lead pollution in the soils.
Three young men flyfishing for spawning salmon and brown trout in a deep pool at the base of a cliff downstream from the falls. No room for backcasts here so strictly roll casting.
Continuing with a Tamron SP 90/2.8 DI Macro VC (EF mount) in the Fringer adapter on an XT3. AF, IS, and EXIF also all working well with this lens. See also post in GFX 50R Mount Fuji Active thread for samples with the Kipon AF adapter on the GFX 50R.Just received a Fringer EF-FX Pro II adapter (arrived with firmware 1.3 so I flashed it to current v 1.4 before using it). Works perfectly (including autofocus and IS) with full exif transfer as well. Quick sample image below using the Canon EF 16-35 f/4L. Started snowing last night at around 8 PM and still snowing now.
I am pleased with the performance of the Fringer adapter on the XT3 and the Canon 16-35 f/4L is also working well. Next will be a trial with a 3rd party EF mount lens.
How is autofocus speed with this adapter? Could it be used with a Canon 300/4 or 300/2.8 for wildlife, especially birds in flight? I still think the XF 200 is too short for wildlife and I wish Fuji could give us a 300 or 400mm prime with a f4 aperture.Just received a Fringer EF-FX Pro II adapter (arrived with firmware 1.3 so I flashed it to current v 1.4 before using it).

A quick trial shot with the Canon 100-400 @275mm on the Fringer/XT3. Focusing was very quick and accurate, but IS was a bit flaky. I think the IS problem lies with the old lens and not the adapter.Hi Louis,
Autofocus is very fast with the Fringer adapter when using PD AF modes. The latest firmware enables use of all PD points across the sensor and wide field tracking is possible. Both the Canon 300 f/4 and f/2.8 are on the list of lenses tested and optimized for the Fringer adapter. I do not own any of the big Canon primes (just have the old 100-400) so I cannot test, but you might want to download the user manual on the Fringer website and review the sections on AF and IS. Small single point AF is not recommended as it reverts to contrast detect mode with slower performance.
Best regards,
Carl
