  • In this video I show you how good off a job a full frame lens that costs less than $30-$40 dollars can do at covering a GFX sensor. The lens is the Pentax SMC 50mm f/2. Now, technically speaking, it's not the best lens, but for the money, you can't go wrong. It has all of the vintage characteristics you might want and very acceptable sharpness.

    Woah, the algorithm did me wonders here.
    I adapted this lens from a pentax film camera to sony apsc as my first semi-fast prime option. The equivalent focal length I got was a joy for concert photography. While the lens isn't considered super fast wide open, I got some beautiful bokeh that holds its own against any of the more expensive lenses I've since picked up.
    It's very cool to know it's image circle can cover medium format, especially considering a copy is sitting at 25 AUD (17 USD) on my local marketplace. This lens is truly an undervalued gem!

      I’m sure the photos turned out great! Considering the price, it’s a fantastic option to adapt to digital!

    My 85/1.4 AI-S doesn’t vignette on my GFXs and 60/2.8 AF-D Macro is also pretty vignette-free. In case you have them lying around.

      I don’t have any of them, but I still have my F-GFX adapter so I’ll keep an eye for them

    the 50mm 1.4 is my favorite k-mount lens in that focal length. definitely check that one out if you come across one! shout out to your Milkcrate cafe shirt! that’s family right there!

    I’d recommend the 50 1.7. Image circle is similar to the f2, and a bit glowy wide open, but even at f2 it gets very sharp. By the way, I adapt mamiya 645 glass on the 100s and I swear that out resolves the sensor! Especially if you get a focal reducer such as the Kipon. More pricy though but cheaper than GF glass.

      I’ll have to check out the 1.7 if I can! I’ve adapted some Mamiya 645 glass before and mannnn the results are amazing. I used the 45mm & 80mm. I never tried them out with a focal reducer but the thought of that set up sounds really cool.

    Try the Canon EF 40mm F2.8 STM. If you are looking for small vintage lenses for the GFX.

      I’ll keep that lens on my radar! I’ve seen good things about it.
