I'm considering buying a Mamiya 80mm f2.8 lens and putting it on a Fujifilm GFX 50s ii.

Hello,

I’m considering buying a Mamiya 80mm f2.8 lens and putting it on a Fujifilm GFX 50s ii.

I know that I need to buy an adapter to use the lens on the camera, but am at a bit of a loss which adapter to go for. The one I am looking at is this one:

I’ve seen others online that are lot more expensive and a lot bigger in size.

I want to know if I’m missing something with this one, or would it do what I need and allow me to connect the lens to the camera body and make pictures?

Apologies if this is a really obvious question.

Thank you

Tom

I suppose this is the M645 80mm f2.8? There is also the shuttered 80/2.8 from the TLR Mamiya cameras.

For the former, google "M645 GFX adapter".

Thanks for replying to my message. Yes you are right it’s the M645 80mm.

So just to check, the one that I shared on the link in my original post, would that not work in this case?

No, your link is for a M42 lens to GFX body.

Here's one 645 to GFX adapter-


And another one-


I have a Pentax 645 to GFX adapter, Kipon brand, and it works fine. I simply use the lens manually, both exposure and focus. I don't know if there are any adapters that will communicate with the lenses, either Pentax or Mamiya. As long as a full manual camera will work for you, you'll be fine. The Fuji can be set to still provide metering; you might not to change a setting in the menu to have it register manual aperture, I forget.

Post #22 in this thread talks specifically about the 80mm and an adapter. I haven't read the thread. I seem to remember that I found enough info to dive into the Pentax 645 lenses and adapters. It is mainly focused on a digital camera and we aren't allowed to talk about those things here so I'll let you do your own searching in that forum.

If you are thinking about a m645 80mm, go large (aperture that is) and get the M645 80mm 1.9
