Introduces Nikon G Lens to Fuji G-mount (GFX) Expander 1.26x

Press Release

! Petersburg, VA, USA, Feb 21, 2020: Metabones® and Caldwell Photographic Inc. are pleased to

jointly announce the NF – GFX mount Expander 1.26x. It allows Nikon F mount lenses to be

mounted on Fujifilm GFX camera bodies without getting dark and / or soft corners. The

magnification factor of 1.26x perfectly matches the image circle of the full-frame Nikon lenses to

the medium-format sensor of the GFX series cameras, and therefore the diagonal FOV remains

exactly the same.

The optical design consists of 5 elements in 3 groups, incorporating ultra-high index Lanthanum-

based optical glass as well as one element made of fused silica, resulting in extremely good

performances with professional-grade f/2.8 zoom lenses. For example, a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens

becomes a 30-88mm f/3.5 zoom, and a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens becomes an 88-252mm f/3.5 zoom.

Please note that because of the nature of focal extenders, the aperture values decrease by 2/3 of a

stop; f/2.8 becomes f/3.5 and f/2 becomes f/2.5. High-speed fixed focal length lenses such as the

50mm f/1.4 will be transformed into a very fast standard lens 63mm f/1.8 for the GFX system.

The GFX mount Expander features Metabones’ unique manual G aperture adjustment mechanism,

which has the same angular throw distance as earlier Nikon Ai/AiS lenses, which features a

linearized f-stop adjustment as a function of aperture ring adjustment angle. The mechanism is

clickless in order to maximize its usefulness to cinematographers.

! Availability

Metabones® Nikon G - GFX Expander 1.26x is available right now from the Metabones website and

its worldwide dealer network for US$519, and the optic-free version adapter* will be available for

US$179, plus shipping and applicable taxes and duties.

Notes:

*Limitation: Both Nikon full-frame and DX lens may NOT have enough coverage for the GFX cameras

when used in conjunction with the optic-free adapter (MB_NFG-FG-BM1). Most of the case will result

strong vignetting or even black corners.

About Metabones Metabones®, together with its allied partners Caldwell Photographic and WB Design, is the pioneer and leader of two key technologies which have catalyzed the transition from mirror to mirrorless. Speed Booster® (winner of the 2013 TIPA Best Photo Accessory Award) makes lenses brighter, wider and sharper, and Smart Adapter™ breaks the lens mount compatibility barrier by electronically integrating interchangeable single-lens reflex (SLR) lenses and mirrorless cameras.
