Canon To GFX50s adapter with AF

[mota25]

I would like to use my 85mm f1.2 on my GFX50s. I see there are multiple adapters, Kippon, TechArt and Steelsring. Which one is the better option. I am searching on the web and can't find much info. I have read one article about TechArt from Jonas Rask but haevn't seen any minus points so not sure how well should that adapter works.

I have both the Kipon and Techart. I prefer the Kipon...it's cheaper and works really well. Also, they have a good procedure in place for firmware updates, which seem to come every few months. In my experience, manual focus is the preferred way to go with adapted lenses on the GFX, as it's much easier to ascertain critical focus when you aren't using the focus by wire of the native lenses. If you need fast AF, I would stick with the native lenses. I can't tell you how well the 85 1.2 will work, since it's also focus by wire.
