Thanks, Chris.I had the Fringer Pro adaptor when I first started my switch from Canon to Fuji. I got the XT-3 and sold my Canon 5D4 and kept some of my Canon lenses and it worked just fine for me. Over the course of the first year of using the XT-3 I ended up selling the Fringer and Canon lenses and going totally Fuji. I've never looked back. have a great weekend!
I switched from Nikon to Fuji earlier this year, and this adapter was one of the first things I bought to use my old lenses. If they're on the compatibility list, and especially if they're name brand Nikon lenses, they work great. Anything not on the list doesn't work at all, but that's not unexpected. Both Nikon and Canon have some really great and cheap lenses that can fill a lot of gaps for Fuji users, so this thing is great.
Fringes adapter I have been using for awhile for my Nikon lenses to be used on my Fuji XT3 and as you present it does work very well. I appreciate your informative presentation
The addition of the aperture ring on the adapter is brilliant! Seems like you get the best of all worlds.
You have a magic in reading our minds...was waiting for a video like this and here it pops out !! Cheers
Perfectly covered everything in this video, thanks
Ive been using a Fringer adaptor to mount my F mount lenses on my XS10.
It generally tends to work quite well, with one or two exceptions. Autofocus is definately a bit slower and I have one Tamron F mount that really struggles with autofocus when mounted to the Fuji via the adaptor, but for the most part it tends to be a good little piece of kit.
Such great, to-the-point videos. Thank you.
Thank you Chris so much for your great content. Greetings from Southern Germany.
Thank you so much, for all your wonderful Knowledged and advice about Fujifilm💯👍😎
Your work is spectacular. Keep it like this.
TYVM, incredible the way you unboxed it in my mind
Great info Chris. I actually use a Metabones adapter for use with my ancient Nikkor F, Q and older lenses using manual focus. The video you did on how to use focus peaking on Fujifilm cameras has made it easier to focus 50+ year old glass than it is my ancient Nikon F2. Great!!! Thanks you as always Chris.
I was so waiting for this kind of review
I can absolutely confirm your recommendation! I used the Fringer Adapter on a T2 +T4 with the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 and the EF 24-105mm f/4 with no problems and I am very satisfied.
Hi, can you kindly inform if works well tracking moving subjects (for photo and video)? THANK YOU!
How good is it with sports photography if you know?
I bought one and returned it. I was hoping to get some options for wildlife lenses so I rented the Canon 100-400, 70-200 and a Sigma 500mm f/4. Over 2000 photos in a test matrix over 3 days. With stationary subjects below 100mm it was fine. A little hunting - but useable. Over 100mm and especially with moving subjects it was utter garbage. Hit rates for BiF dropped from 85% with the Fuji 100-400 to less than 60% with the adapted glass. Ultimately giving up on Fuji after trying this adapter and then hoping the new super zoom would be decent (or that they would produce a 400 f/4 with the optical refinement of the 200 f/2). I wish I had your results as there is so much to love about Fuji - but different use cases I guess yield different results.
Thanks for the channel BTW. Love the enthusiasm. I still have my GFX 100s and 50s so I will keep tuning in.
Love your vid. Still thinking to buy one for my xt2😊😊
I also have the Fringer EF-FX Pro 2... would buy it again any time.
I have been eyeing this for a long time ( and a suitable review!) - cheaped out for manual version which is alot cheaper and works really well with the x-t4 and IBIS, but after seeing this I WANT ONE. Thx Chris! Another great fast-friday.
Also tried the Fringer with Canon. Worked great (as well as on the Canon DSLR). However, it does add some bulk. I ended up deciding to return the adapter, sell the Canon lenses (fav were the stabilized 50mm prime and 50-250mm zoom), and spend a bit extra for the better quality and less bulk/hassle of using quality mid tier Fuji zooms and great primes.
Currently loving the 70-300mm zoom and the 23mmF2 prime the most, but also have a few others. So far only Fuji I’ve been disappointed with is the old 27mm pancake. Love the look but it’s relatively slow and noisy to autofocus. I’d take my 23mmF2 primes over it any day, little bigger but quiet, fast, and all it’s movement is internal.
Great video, I use both the Canon and the Nikon to Fuji Fringer adapter. They both work great, with a verity of lenses. And widening the selection of lenses
I can enjoy with my X-T4
Some Lenses i recommend using with the Fringer EF-FX Pro 2 Adapter are the Canon 50mm 1.8 STM, the Canon EF 10-18mm 4.5-5.6 STM and the Canon 55-250 STM 4.0-5.6. I although tried using Macro-Adapters with it and it works. The Fringer EF-FX Pro 2 is a realy nice Adapter and worth every penny if you have Canon Lenses left.
Just thought about getting this ring... Oh well!
Thanks for the content!
I bought it on your recommendation for my Nikon lenses. Thank you!
Wish I had kept some of my Canon lenses now! Thanks for the videos!
Thanks for the update on these adapters. It's worth pointing out that all of these adapters have firmware that can be updated. I was only able to get the Viltrox adapter locally and have found that new(er) firmware has significantly improved the performance of my lens, which is a very old Sigma AF 400mm f5.6 which is not on either manufacturers supported list. At this point, I'd rather save the AU500 price tag of replacing my Viltrox adapter for the purchase of a new(er) lens.
I have the Fringer EF to FX and I also like how it adapts my Canon lenses.
I also have the Viltrox speed booster, but I use that mainly with my vintage lenses, which are manual focus - also using an M42 to EF adapter, of course.
Have you ever thought about trying vintage lenses? The Helios and Takumar lenses are great. And the Auto Sears or Chinio 55mm f1.4 lenses are a steal at their price range. They're essentially rebranded Tomiokas.
Chris you’re the greatest!!!
Hi Chris!!! I want to thank you very much for your great work
after I subscribed to your channel I globally changed all my camera settings.Fuji XT-2
I really want to buy,Fuji XT-4 but I can't do it right now.but your advice brings this time closer closer)))
Again Thank you very mstch !!!
welcome back !
That blooper at the end made me gasp and cringe lol 😆 thanks for the tip, homie! I have a few Canon lenses that I've ignored because my new found love for Fujifilm. Awesome to know I can still use them with this adapter!
I’ve been using the fringer pro on my sigma 150-600mm works great happy with the shots on my Fujifilm XT3. This combo saved me a lot of money on the Fujifilm 150-600mm 👍🏼
I own the xpro3 with an adapt fd 50mm canon lens (70’s vintage) and the results are superb. Almost film-like with a black pro mist 1/4 filter. And the adapter was only $15.
Thanks, Chris, for awesome and fast review of the Fringer & Viltrox
Since last 1 year I'm using viltrox adapter trying on native canon 18-135 and some Samyang lanes but it fails to auto focus. Fringer looks promising n will try. Thanks again
Hey pal2tech , it would be great if you could test the fringer on the xh2-s to see how well the AF performs in video mode !
I use the Nikon F-Fuji-X adapter even in speed demanding situations - The Nikkor 300 mm f4 PF ED works amazingly well on fuji for birds in flight… looking forward to try this combo on the new Fuji X-H2S soon!
Got one, It's great, used to use it on my XT2 with ef 24-105 L, Nifty Fifty, Sigma 90 macro and my Sigma 150-500 and it worked a treat, I have now offloaded all my Canon lenses and DSLR's in favour of going all out mirrorless, thinking of selling it now as have no use for it and want to get a teleconverter
That Sigma Art 18-35 1.8 is really great for videography/cinematography for that constant 1.8 aperture while producing sharp results. Wish I could've retained my Nikon version (had to sell it with my old Nikon Body) but the AF Adapter is as expensive as a used earlier Fujifilm body, my only complain about it was the size and weight when you put it onto a Fujifilm body (I tried a dumb manual adapter for it while putting a piece of paper to open up the aperture lever on Nikon Mount)
Hi Chris! It Crossed my mind to buy a 500mm for motorsports, where I still hope that Fuji produces one, as the 200mm. Love primes and for the long reach the xf100-400mm does an amazing job. Time is a good advisor. So, will keep on waiting!
Wondering if anyone ever used ae.g. 400mm 2.8 or 500mm Cannon with the adaptor?
Brilliant and hard work from you Chris! Thank You for the best supportive channel on YT!
I bought the Fringer before I bought the camera. I wanted to keep my 7D2 as a backup and keep all my lenses because there are no 1.8 zooms on Fuji. After testing on a friends T4 it was all systems go to swap to a Fuji body 😊 I use my Sigma 10-20, 18-35 1.8, 50-100 1.8, 70-200 2.8 and the 150-600C without a problem 😁
I love those adapters I use my Canon glass my tx30 and it works fantastic, I also have a few vintage lenses that I use
I use it from two years for canon, I had many canon lenses for cinema camera and work fine for me. With canon ef autofocus is faster than most of ef-s that I have. Work fine with a lots of lenses, canon and sigma. Great adapter.
Literally bought the Nikon to Fuji Fringer adapter 3 days ago for my Sigma 150-600mm lens. It has been stellar so far with my testing. Got it second hand on eBay for $185!
I just got this! Did you take off the ugly attachment thing? it's so big and awkward but I'm not sure if you can take it off or not lol
@@rachel.isabelle are you talking about the USB dock that updates the firmware? If so, depress the switch on the side and rotate it off. It might need to be rotated in the opposite direction of what you are used to.
@@eugenegirshtel oh, no it's this big attachment thing. It does have the USB dock and also has a tripod mount at the bottom
@@rachel.isabelle ohhhh, that's all part of the Fringer adapter and it is not removable. Don't try to do it! I never use that tripod mount that is built-in.
@@eugenegirshtel damn, ok thank you! I didn't realise it was gonna be there when I bought it..guess I'll just have to deal with it. It's so annoying as it extends out longer than the camera and I can't put the camera down evenly lol
With the insane price of Fuji's native long telephoto lenses, the fringer is basically the best option for shooting wildlife on Fuji. I recently got a sigma 150-600 + the fringer pro 2 adapter for about £550, compared to almost £2k for fuji's 150-600!
how do you keep that energy up. hats off to you.
Great video. Thank u sir
I bought both used Viltrox EF-FX1 ($60) and used Viltrox EF-FX2 Speedbooster ($100) for my XT3 (). They are focussing well although not as perfect as Fringer. What I found is that we need to be a bit patient as the Viltrox adapters take more time than the native lens in focussing. Viltrox does better on EF than EFS lense, and even better with the Canon L-series. The image quality for stills are perfect. Not yet try to update the available firmware; I wish the firmware correct the autofocusing. Hope this information useful for Fujifilm lovers who needs less pricey Fringer. Thank you Chris, you make every one loves Fujifilm more and more.
Viltrox ef/efs to emount sony (EF/Efs - Nex IV) af super fast when use lens canon USM, viltrox EF - Fx af is slow maybe because af systen X prosesor
I had the Canon version, but sold it. I had issues with Continuous AF with the Tamron and Sigma 150-600s on an X-T3. Single shot AF was fine, maybe a tiny bit slower than the Fuji 100-400 with t/c (and you'd really have to nitpick), but continuous was unusable. Any other glass I tried was fine with no issues at all. Just the long stuff in continuous (which for what I shoot was a problem). Hopefully others can provide better experience history.
So, I had the Viltrox adapter and never "loved" it. Found the AF laggy and hunted too much to take on any shoots. I also had a "Commlite" AF adapter that I felt was similar to the Viltrox. I will have to explore the Fringer Pro. Thank you!
Use my Fringer with my Canon EF and Sigma Art Canon mounts. Love it.
This is exactly the information I have been looking for. I have a couple EF-L lenses which will work with the Fringer. The Viltrox appears to be a disappointment and definitely not worth losing light even at a discount price. The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
Excellent video ! Fringer , Metabones lens adapter are great for Sigma , Canon , Tamron lenses adopted to Fuji aps-c cameras as well as for Fuji new medium format cameras ! But will you give us in your next video . The difference aspect ratio of a full frame lens from a aps-c lens !
Thanks !
I shoot jazz concerts with a Nikon 70-200 f2.8 and wildlife (mostly birds) with a Nikon-mount Sigma 150-600. I've adapted them to my X-T3 with the Fringer NF-FX, and it's a total game-changer. My D7100 is collecting dust and might just get sold to make way for a new Fuji body. Pro tip (sort of): The NF-FX adapter has a "projection" on its underside. (If you have one, you know what I mean.) If you use the vertical grip, as I do, take it off before you remove the Fringer. At first I tried to remove the adapter without taking off the grip, and I'm very lucky I didn't damage anything.
I have the standard version of the fringer EF-FX mount adapter It doesn't have an aperture ring, but it's $100 cheaper than the pro version. I use it on my XT4 with a sigma 150-600 C. While I would like to have the aperture ring, I don't find it all that inconvenient to change the aperture with the front dial on the camera.
Can you test the Nikon version?
Excellent review of the fringer lens adapted to the Sigma 30 and 85mm art lenses to the Fuji X series cameras ! Have you considered making a tutorial on the Fuji GFXr with the Sigma art lenses , with Fringer lens adapter ? Thanks !
ferfect. i love it
Thanks!
Thank you for helpful video. Do you happen to know if also the older fringer pro adapter would work same or is the newer pro ii version snappier - faster - better in autofocus etc? Many thanks
I have several nice EF and EF-S lenses that I use with my beater camera, the Cannon SL3/250D. I think the Fringer is a great way to expand my limited Fuji lens library for not a lot of money. I just order the Pro III version and I can't wait to test out my Tamron SP 70-300/4-5.6 Di VC USD and the nifty 50 on my X-T30 II.
Fringer Pro II adapter it was my first "Fujinon" lens, coming from Canon I noticed that at that time 2019 there was many problems to focus correctly but after 3 years working with that adapter I just can say, it is the best adapter ever made, one of the most important things it is the aperture ring and they are constantly upgrading firmwares (Viltrox it doesn't).
So, if my Canon EF 85mm f:1.2L (mark I) it did not worked correctly in 2019 December (no Ibis in my X-H1) and no way to focus in a Sunny Day, in 2022 February they put a firmware upgrade that changed everything, fast AF-C and accurate, even at f:1.2 and Ibis working, that combo it is great in a X-H1 or in a X-H2. Then I got great results using Tamron 100-400mm VC and 70-210mm f:4 VC. Sigma and Tamron works great with this adapter, so I tested the Sigma 8-16mm, the 10-20mm f:3.5 EX DC and the 17-50mm 2.8 OS, the first one not bad, a great option to a Fujinon 8-16mm 2.8, the second one not bad but optically the Fujinon 10-24mm OIS it is way better and the third one it working better than the other ones. But finally I sold it to buy Fujinon lenses.
Right now I am just using my 85L and the Sigma 100-400 but during that time I was buying Fujinon lenses, smaller and probably I am going to sell everything to be just a XF user without adapters even if there are some lenses that they are not still available in the Fujifilm ecosystem, like a 70-200mm 2.8 (I prefer that reach to the 50-140 one) or a 70-200mm f:4 or a 135mm f:2 (or similar), not sure to sell that great adapter, because one of the big things of using Canon EF mount lenses it is the fact that you can use it in a GFX 100s with similar results with the GFX-EF adapter made by Fringer too.
So, in my opinion if you are using big XF cameras like X-H2 (and X-H1) or others, that Fringer adapter it is great, the best option ever.
I have had success with the Fringer Canon EF to Fuji X adapter. It works as well, or possibly better than the native auto focus on my Fujifilm X-T2. I have had so much success with it, that I have picked up a few Tamron wide range lenses for under $100. The pricing of Canon EF compatible lenses is far cheaper that Fujifilm that the Fringer adapter, has paid itself back several times.
I use the sigma 18-35 and finger, I love it although the af completely failed me when I met this couple with a couple of parrots I wanted to capture, was kind of a spare of the moment thing. I was up close, there was very little movement, broad daylight, it should've easily focused but every shot was out of focus. I don't what it was about this specific scenario but nearly every shot was blurry. It worked great in every other situation I tried it with though.
be interested to see a review on the K&F concept version
Very recently have got a Viltrox EF to FX focal reducer to use with my Helios 44 and Helios 40-2-C. Would love to see what you think of the different focal reducers (AKA speed boosters) that are available for Fujifilm.
it help me thank you . have Nikon lenses but recently I was like no brain bought gfx 100 but no fuji lenses . so I was searched a lot of different adapter
i use my XT4 and now XH2s with the fringer and Nikon 500 f5.6 pf lens for wildlife. few minor issues, if the VR is on then the image review is delayed for some reason. Switch it of and it is instant, the EVF is not as bright but works perfectly. The Focus speed and accuracy is as good as my Fuji 100-400. I have used it on the Nikon 300 f2.8 VRii, one of the sharpest lenses on the market and it is mind blowing. It is heavy, but the 300 f2.8 with TC 1.4 from Nikon was my main wildlife lens for many years when I used Nikon big bodies like the D3s, D4, D5 and D810 and D850. it gives my a 630mm f4 lens on the Fuji body. Yes it is 3,2 kg with the XH2s with Battery grip, but the image quality is worth every bit. the 500 pf f5.6 is the same weight as the Fuji 100-400, so here is my question, why can Fuji not produce a 400 f5.6 prime lens. Nikon produced a 400 f4.5 lens the size and weight of the 100-400, the 300 f4 pf lens that weigh less than the 50-140 f2.8
Hi! I do have a 300mm as well. How do you like it on xh2s, the eye focus work well? I am thinking to get the xh2 for more resolution, but the stacked sensor in xh2s is a good idea as well:( otherwise, i think the only option to used my 300mm is to get the z9 for the best performance than z7ii, z6ii.
Good revue!, I confirm the great job of the Fringer Pro II with Canon and Sigma lenses. The only fault is the absence of the weather gasket....maybe in the version III ?
Chris do you have a video on useing a Zuiko OM manual lense to Fujifilm say XE1 or xt200 useing adaptor.
Thoughly enjoy your videos and way of presentation. I'm coming from OM1 system to Fujifilm XE1 and xt200 camera so rather interesting learning curve.

Do we know if the Fringer Pro and Pro II work well with the XH2S? I use both my Pro and Pro II with my EF lenses and three X-T3s and it works quite well. Thinking about picking up the XH2S but I might not unless we know if the Fringer works well with it.
I got rid of my pro Nikon lenses but still have a few lower end Nikon lenses around from when I switched over to Fuji. Unlike the Canon adapter, the Fringer NF-FX Nikon adapter looks bulky with that extension on the bottom and seems like it would affect your handling. I must say this though, I have a Nikon adapter from K&F Concept. It's only manual focus and currently costs around $30. It seems to me that even the lower end Nikon lenses I kept around render sharper and more contrasty photos than the more expensive native Fuji lenses I have.
Awesome! Would love to see a speed booster test
I tried the Fringer NF-FX (ie., Nikon to Fuji) adapter, but had poor results. I tried both my 80-400 AF-S G lens and 300mm f4 PF lens and had significant issues. AF was quite slow and hunted a lot, and for some reason my X-T3 became very sluggish. It took over a second to get the back LCD screen to operate (image review, or menu diving), and using the LCD screen was slow in general. Everything was up to date, firmware wise, and lenses and body were clean. No clue what the issue was. Did I get a bad copy? It'd be great if a review of the Nikon Fringer adapter could be made; I'd be curious, and I'm sure others would be too, if it works as well as the canon version. *edit typos
Are you using the XT3 or the XT4? I just purchased the 4 about a year ago and have been very impressed with the camera but looking for more lens options and looking at going to adapter route.
Just what I needed almost put my Canon lenses up for sale.
Is there a metabones speed booster for Fuji X mount to EF or RF or E mounts?
Can you control the aperture through the electronics? Or do you have to use the aperture ring on the adapter?
Hi Chris, can you test if the fuji camera xt-3 can bracket focus using fringer adapter. Fuji made 3 macro lenses for x mount however I didn't like any of them. This is the only reason that I'm still debating before purchase the xt5. I'm shooting mostly landscape and macro photography.
If you didn't have any lenses but Fuji, would you use non Fuji lenses on an xt3 or xt4 ? I understand cost difference from Fuji to 3rd party lenses. I just prefer the top quality lenses regardless of cost. Are Canon or Nikon any better than Fuji? Thank you.
Silly question for you all, if I use the Canon 70-200 would it “give me more reach” with the crop factor included? I am a HS sports free lancer and wonder if this would help me save money over buying the Fujinon long lens? Thanks for the videos you have helped my switch to Fuji immensely
Hi, can you make a comparison between the "Fringer EF-FX Pro III" and the "Metabones EF-FX CINE Smart Adapter"
THANKS
From my experience the Viltrox adapter doesn't work well with STM lenses, it works better on lenses with USM motors.
Couldn't find a Fringer pro adapter in my country, so I had to deal with Viltrox's unreliability. It still gets the job done btw.
How well does lens image stabilization work with the Fringer adapter?
Well that's interesting, I watched your firmware video a couple of days ago and noticed, that the camera decided to focus on the background for a split second. I wondered why, but may this be an artifact of the adapter ring? The timestamp for the other video (firmware) was 2:12.
Will this work for the XT30 II? I just got one after 20+ years shooting Canon and man, this will save me some money on new glass if I can use my old Canon ones.
I got the Viltrox EF-FX2 Speedbooster and honestly all I can say is "the auto focus is complete shit." 😁
It's almost unusable to me for the most part. Struggles to acquire focus with that annoying auto focus noise. 🤦🏽♂️
As much as I enjoy the extra level of aperture and focal length reduction that comes with it, I always default to using Manual focus everytime I pop that thing on my X-T4.
Hopefully maybe you would try it out in the future and make a video about it. 😂
Great videos as always. Cheers!
The fringer might be a good add as I own the 24-104 F4 Sigma art lens which is a beauty of a lens, the adapter is cheaper then Fuji offerings natively lens wise.
holyyyy that butterfly knife skills
Since we are talking about adapters now. Is it possible that you would review the Metabones AF speedbooster for Canon EF to Fuji X?
This would be awesome!
I have the EF-FX Pro 2, I got it mainly because of cost. I realised that I could get the adapter with the Canon EFS 10-18 STM, (used) for way cheaper than the Fujifilm 10-18 alone, and it gave me access to look out for any bargain used Canon lenses, I also have the Canon EFs 24mm STM, Canon EF-s 18-135mm & Canon 85mm f1.8 now. They feel the same as using the native fuji lenses (18-55, 55-200mm). Then Fringer eventually brought out the Nikon adapter NF-FX for AF-S lenses, so I got that to use with my old Nikon Af-S 35mm Nikkor 1.8, 50mm f1.4 and 70-300mm lenses. You forgot to mention they update the firmware on the adapters from time to time, for free, which is a simple as connecting the usb cable and dragging the updated file to the adapter from your PC.
How do the images look with the Nikon glass? My experience using a cheaper manual focus adapter is that the Nikon glass rendered better images on my XT3 and XT20 than my more expensive Fuji glass.
Been using the Fringer with my Nikon 300mm f\4 PF lens on my XT3 from when it first became available, can't compare it with Fuji glass as there is no comparable lens (Grrrrrrr) but it works brilliantly
I'm thinking of adapting: Tokina 11-16mm f2.8, Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 G2 and a Nikon 200-500mm f5.6 (and obviously have a Tamron 17-70mm f2.8 and a Sigma 56mm f1.4). My only concern is that they will be not very good in terms of stabilization: long lenses work well with ibis, but... Will they fight together?
hi! a question! do lens adapters change focal length ? Best!
thank you for the video - its certainly very appealing to get with the sigma art lens for having a zoom f1.8 lens
as far as adapting lens goes - more interested in the speed booster adapter but it only works on the FF lens which the art lens are not
I have a test using the speedbooster for video. The 1.29x crop fix makes it close to a m43 sensor, so I was curious if having a parfocal 18-35 on a Fuji would world. But I didn't test AF though, just ISO in 1.29x vs full width.
@@jasontaycs7195 i see yes thank you very much, seeing the video it looks pretty nice actually.
since using the XT1 i just naturally started to get "good" at manual focusing and even with the fuji lens (focus by wire).. so in cases where this art lens isnt the best at AF, im already expecting myself to put a gear around it to install those follow focus handles and manual focus with that lens anyways.
I used this adapter a few years ago with canon lenses on my Fuji camera but the autofocus was below average it was okish on single point but still missed on occasions and it’s not worth the headache and best to use Fuji lenses
yep i got one
Hi, in video mode AF-C work?
Hi! Can anyone tell me if converters like this effect the effective aperture of the lenses?
Yo compre este adaptador para mi Fuji y he de comentar que estoy usando todos mis objetivos para Nikon (fue mi anterior cámara) y no he tenido ningun problema.
is it true that with sigma 18-35, the autofocus speed and sensitivity doesnt work? I tried a few settings to realize it's all the same. do you have a work around for this?
Do you know if it is already compatible with the fujifilm x-t5?
