Hello all,
My name is Dean Forbes. I live in Shoreline, WA, just north of Seattle. I've been a longtime Fuji APS-C camera user and now I have a GFX 50r on order. I borrowed the camera from a local shop a couple of times under Fuji's try-it program.
My initial plan - a bit unconventional perhaps - is to begin using it with adapted vintage 35mm MF film lenses (Pentax, Minolta, Nikkor, some others) that I have collected. I did the try out using these lenses. Budget is one major reason for going this route. I'll likely look to acquire a few MF Pentax 645 lenses to adapt as well.
Wondering whether others here are also using the Fuji 50MP series with adapted lenses. Would love to hear about your experiences and recommendations.
I post my photography here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dean_forbes/
Samples of the 50r using adapted lenses are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dean_forbes/albums/72157715636512048
