Fotodiox Pro MD-GFX-Pro Lens Mount Adapter Instruction Manual

For Minolta MD Lenses to Fujifilm GFX G-Mount Cameras

Indledning

The Fotodiox Pro MD-GFX-Pro Lens Mount Adapter allows you to mount Minolta Rokkor (SR / MD / MC) SLR lenses onto Fujifilm GFX G-Mount medium format mirrorless cameras. This adapter is designed with enhanced craftsmanship and high-tolerance construction to ensure a precise fit and solid connection between your lens and camera body. It guarantees infinity focus or beyond, providing versatility for photographers utilizing vintage glass with modern digital camera systems.

Vigtig bemærkning: This is a manual adapter. Lens functions that rely on electronic communication with the camera body, such as autofocus, automatic exposure (AE) metering, and image stabilization, will not function. Exposure must be set manually or by using your camera's Aperture Priority (stop-down) mode. If your lens lacks a manual aperture control ring, it will default to its smallest f-stop.
