Very interesting indeed. I have both the 17-55 and the nifty fifty, so I’d be interested to see if they release an official compatibility list and improved firmware. I think fringer released an improvement for the 50mm f1.8 STM performance
I haven't used my 50/ fringer combo in a while, kinda gave up on that but I do use the other lenses a lot. Actually at the time of writing my 55-250stm is on the X-T4 with the fringer as I was snapping some birds in the wind yesterday out my front window.

Hi, I just got the fringer Nikon to fujifilm adapter, I like it, seems to work well, although I wish it didn’t have the tripod mount at the bottom which doesn’t look good on small cameras…..
Hi Ricky, potentially you can get it via their website but I haven't checked fully for you guys out there www.kentfaith.com/KF06.465_canon-ef-ef-s-mount-lens-to-fuji-micro-single-fx-mount-camera-electronic-adapter-ring-for-autofocus
I remember the days of Conurus, up in Canada, adapting Contax N lenses to Canon EF. VERY pricey, and they had a big enough demand that they had to shut down to expand the company. But, even with the rear end altered, there was no auto focus. And I don't remember any focus peaking on my 5D Mark II either. By the way, I think this video just sold some Canon lenses..
Hi Damian, how does this compare with the Viltrox Ef to FX1? I have the Viltrox adapter and it's rubbish and was looking for an upgrade but can't quite afford the Fringer

Great review Damian. Looks a decent product for the cash. I'd love a finger, but it costs more than most of my lenses. I'd then have to factor in buying Canon compatible glass as I've now sold all mine when jumping to fuji. But for those who still have Canon lenses, or just to open up the choices available I think it's a winner.
Hi Damian! Thank you so much for putting this out! I've been wanting the Fringer for a while but the price has always kept me from pulling the trigger. It might be worth it for someone with lots of Canon glass but the purchase is difficult for me to justify. The alternatives seem less than stellar and some of my lenses aren't on their compatibility lists. So I'm curious, would you say that the K&F is close enough to the Fringer that the internals might be the same, or are there slight performance differences? And as for the lenses that don't get along well, how is manual focus? Some people don't like manual focusing, but with Fuji's focus peaking and setting the ring to linear focus, I've found it to generally be usable with native lenses.
In the same boat Paul. It's hard to pull the trigger on the Fringer at the current price point. I bought some Canon lass to try with the manual version on my XT-4. It's completely useless without aperture control. Been sitting on my shelf for 6 months. Cant seem to find this adapter on Amazon yet
Great review as always! Very helpful! Was hoping my sigma 18-35 could get som stab with this. Alas not. But, I can use it on FUJI, that is a step in the right direction!
Good video, thank you. I have the chinese commlite ef to fx adapter. And it does not work good, so i decided to upgrade the firmware. The update is not possible (via mac or windows). It is a rar packed „fir“ file. The computer did not recognize the hardware. Do you know this adapter, and did you hear about this problem too?
I'm new to this type of adapter, and haven't looked at any Fringer reviews yet, but whether it's the K&F or Fringer, are they weather sealed? While watching this video I wondered if an adapter like this would be the weak link between a lens with a weather resistant seal, and the camera itself. Thanks again, I enjoyed the video.
I don't believe this adapter nor my fringer are weather sealed no so if that's important it might not be good unless you had ways and means to avoid it being a problem.
I bought an K&F Concept EF-FX adapter. Unfortunately, the autofocus only works partially or not at all. The aperture cannot be changed on any lens. Unfortunately I couldn't find a firmware update. Can any one help me?
@@DamianBrown I wrote to K&F, they can’t give me an update. But I tested a little bit. In some cases it works. For example in focus mode “C” I can change the aperture. In Manual mode it doesn’t. I will say it works to 50%. You need to know, this works not in every situation. A little bit sad for this price.
@@DamianBrown I got it from ebay it is fully kf branded, looks same as yours but definitely suggests its rebranded commlite based on the manual. Maybe they just add their own parts tonight like the orange ring.I've tried using the commlite firmware but it doesn't update, weird
Good shots! Would love to see if this works fine with 3rd party EF lenses like Sigma or Tamron.
Would be interesting if there was version for Sony E mount considering there is more lens selection for that mount.
As in E to FX? Not sure how feasible that is? I've probably misread because there's way more EF lenses than E.
Thanks brother. GOing to buy this for my XH2S/XS20 and 1835 1.8 Sigma combo
Good choice!
Nice review I’m tempted 😃👍
Thanks Niall, worth the craic.

This review helps a lot as I consider the choices that are out there. When I look at the K&F website I can’t find this exact autofocus model.

@@DamianBrown thank you Damian. Keep you videos coming.
interested with this adapter. just wanted to ask for confirmation if continuos AF works or not, your video only perform single AF I believe.
Hi, I just got the fringer Nikon to fujifilm adapter, I like it, seems to work well, although I wish it didn’t have the tripod mount at the bottom which doesn’t look good on small cameras…..
See, if I had still got all my Nikon lenses that would have been brilliant but it came too late for me.
On your Amazon link the adapter is for Sony E mount only.
I think it goes to a general K&F selection while we wait for this adapter to appear. Try bit.ly/3og7ZuM
Guess it's not available in the US yet, not sure if I missed you saying that . I would love something like this .

Ye there's some special glass out there at very decent prices. The only real negative for some of them is the overall size
Hi Damian, how does this compare with the Viltrox Ef to FX1? I have the Viltrox adapter and it's rubbish and was looking for an upgrade but can't quite afford the Fringer
Never tried it sorry! From what I've seen online I'd guess this performs better.
great video. Im planning to purchase this adapter, however I wonder how it behaves with the aperture. Do you have any comments on that?
No problems!
i cant find K&F adapter firmware on official website
does anyone have a clue?
and do i have to register on its website for warranty?
Good question, I can't see it either. I'm going to ask them.
As for the warranty, I found this

It begins the day you place your order.

You mentioned the ibis in the T-4 wasn't working with it. Maybe I got that wrong, so one of the Canon's had OIS. Did that work on the Fuji?
Ah I missed this comment sorry! So I find that with the Canon 200mm the T4 IBIS stops working.

Spot on. If you've got the glass and you don't mind the additional size, why not!

I feel like the fringer performs that little bit better but it's neglible to me, without getting stupidly deep analysing them.

Thanks allot. Great video. Going to order it now.
@@gmurran Hi Gareth, please can you let me know how you get on as I struggled with mine and I am thinking of returning it
How did you find the fit on the XF side of the adapter? Was it solid? Or was there any wobble?
Fit is great, used it several times and no hassle at all.
@@DamianBrown thank you so much 👍
Greetings, and Thanks for the video,
How do you think this adapter's af performance for still photo compare to fringer adapter?
A touch less responsive. But not much
does this works with xt200?
Hello, most people praise Metabones, is K&F a good brand? have you tried both and if so, what do you think?
I haven't tried a metabones af adapter but the k&f has never let me down
Great review as always! Very helpful! Was hoping my sigma 18-35 could get som stab with this. Alas not. But, I can use it on FUJI, that is a step in the right direction!
Definitely. Not a bad adapter at all.
does your sigma 18-35 1.8 work with the adapter? I am looking to get this adapter for that reason
How does the sigma 18-35 perform with the k & F adaper considering autofocus and IBIS.
@@mickeystruwig6877 Same here bro.
Good video, thank you.
I have the chinese commlite ef to fx adapter. And it does not work good, so i decided to upgrade the firmware. The update is not possible (via mac or windows). It is a rar packed „fir“ file.

I haven't used that one :( Looked at it online a while back but didn't try it. Anybody reading this able to help?

No adapter of any brand is weather sealed yet
Nice
Ye worked out pretty good I think
For how much?

Any info about the compatibility for 3rd party lenses?
Not that I can find :(
Waw is it working for video autofocus??

Bonjour, merci pour cette vidéo fort intéressante. Savez-vous si l'adaptateur K&F fonctionne avec le Canon EF 70-300 mm IS USM? Merci.
avec un XT4.
Je n'ai pas encore essayé cet objectif, désolé !
@@DamianBrown merci.
any info on firmware updates? cant seem to find them on their site.
Same here. I'll have another hunt around or hopefully they'll read this and reply!
How about the AF Tracking??
I think I mentioned there's no AFC
@@DamianBrown thanks a lot, great AF testing video with EVF view
Couldn’t find it anywhere and Amazon link didn’t work man
Try their official site, when I'm back on the laptop I can link it
I bought an K&F Concept EF-FX adapter. Unfortunately, the autofocus only works partially or not at all. The aperture cannot be changed on any lens. Unfortunately I couldn't find a firmware update. Can any one help me?

which one do you prefer knf concept or viltrox fx1?
Haven't tried the Viltrox yet :( I have one for L mount and it's cool! Nothing in it really tho
I got Andoer one today.. camera beeps like its in focus but its actually not.. any idea sir? Its xh1 with canon 17-55
Haven't tried an Andoer one, I guess it's a "dumb" adapter?
@@DamianBrown its the same as viltrox under another brand name.. yeah its dumb
What’s the price?
Hi John, there's a shot with the price here in the video ua-cam.com/video/oN7HGkFWDxM/v-deo.html think it's sitting around 144 at the moment
Hello everyone, has anyone tried it with a 24 - 70 mm L 2.8?
Good call.
On the K&F site is says "Note:Not compatible with Canon ef-s 10-18 STM lens." So which canon 10-18 lens was you using?
Zero issues for me. There's only one canon 10-18 STM as far as I know
Mine just arrived, tested 3 lenses and none get focus, looked in the manual and it says to go to the commlite website...
That's weird!!! Send it right back of course. Where did you order from?
@@DamianBrown I got it from ebay it is fully kf branded, looks same as yours but definitely suggests its rebranded commlite based on the manual. Maybe they just add their own parts tonight like the orange ring.I've tried using the commlite firmware but it doesn't update, weird
is working for xt100?
I should think so but I don't have the camera sorry
