Paying off

the high quality Fujifilm GFX mediumformat lenses - is going very well. Albeit i took these lenses - each of them - on a 3 year pay off plan... I accelerate the payoff rate significantly (simply because i am not interested in paying extra interests more than necessary).

Going down fast

The bright Fujifilm GF 55 mm ƒ1.7 lens (bought in June 2025), only 28% debt is left. Soon it will be gone. entirely. The other lens i ordered later (Aug 2025); for the Fujifilm GF 110mm ƒ2 lens I have paid off almost half.

To be honest, during winter - I have barely used the Fujifilm GFX medium format platform. Once light increases as springtime gradually makes its strides across Sweden.... that is when the real fun begins ! When flowers start to grow and blossom. Coming home from work early morning at sunrise - looking at their growth every day... is a delight and true joy.

Which also activates me wanting to dive into photography again.

It has been extremely passive in the past 2 month. I saw now reason to walk around with a camera during winter at work with temperatures down to -10°C or even -15°C and the every lasting gloomy gray dull weather. It just doesn't inspire me, and i am not kidding myself.

I am just not made for it... it is that simple.

So, i will use the magnificent Fujifilm GF 110mm ƒ2 finally in a much more intense manner.

In the future

In the future i might buy a (second hand) Fujinon GF 250 mm ƒ4 R LM OIS WR lens. It is equivalent to a 200mm lens. Albeit i can adapt the Canon EF 200/2L IS to the GFX camera - but that is a whopper of lens, which in the end still works best on Canon cameras.

After all - my primary lens lineup for the GFX system is practically complete; 23mm, 30mm, 55mm, 110mm and perhaps in the future a 250 mm lens, would basically cover everything in essence.

Additionally i have a large amount of lenses that can be adapted to the Fujifilm GFX with good results.

Especially with a (future) Fringer Pentax 645 to GFX AF adapter (i aiming to buy), which enables the Pentax 645 to support AF on Fujifilm GFX cameras

Here i have the Pentax 645 FA 80-160mm and the FA 150-300mm lens. I find those to be cumbersome to use with a dumb adapter (but better suited on a tripod). But the Fringer AF adapter appears to function so well - that it would be easier to use these lenses, because of the better IS adaptation, steadier viewfinder image, as well more secure focus. Doing that manually on those lenses, using them freehand, was not really that fun.

So, the new Finger P645 to GFX adapter, is high on my list now.

Others

Well, and then there are a wealth of other lenses, that work well too - when on tripod. Everything from the tiny Canon EF 40mm ƒ2.8 pancake lens, to the huge, heavy and bulky Mamiya RZ 67 Sekor Z lenses.

Then there is the VERTEX adapter which emulates a true 7x7 cm negative format with the Fujifilm GFX camera due to rotation in 4 images: Where Pentax 6x7 lenses turn out with same format they where designed for - as if you would have used them on a Pentax 67 camera.

Nevertheless - most convenient, most streamlined and best suited for quality - are native Fujifilm Fujinon GF lenses.

Formidable Macro lens

Then there is the awesome Pentax 645 FA 120/4 Macro lens, which goes down to 1:1 macro. It is a truly excellent tool. I made the focus bracketing / stacking manually - and it turned out like this. plenty of sharpness, down to the finest details.

It is better than using the Pentax 6x7 Takumar 135mm ƒ4 Macro. That one requires extenders in order to get close. If you wish to do 1:1 - you need all three extenders - but the whole arrangement looks like a handheld canon in length.

But it is fun, though.
