When using adapted lenses, weather sealing may not always be at the top of your mind. For many photographers, using adapted lenses is usually done in comfortable conditions.
However, there are times when being able to adapt lenses in any weather can be really convenient. If you’re a Fuji X shooter with Nikon F lenses, the Fringer NF-FX II might just be the weather-sealed adapter you’ve been looking for.
The Fringer NF-FX II offers full control over the automatic functions of the lens, such as aperture, focus, and even Vibration Reduction (VR). Compared to the original Fringer NF-FX, the new version comes with improved weather sealing and a smaller “foot”. These updates provide added versatility and convenience.
The smaller foot makes vertical shooting easier, while the weather sealing ensures that you can use your adapted lenses without worrying about the weather conditions.
If you’re interested in more detailed information about the new adapter, you can visit the company’s website. They have a page dedicated to the Fringer NF-FX II that delves deep into its features, highlighting the electronic communication between lens and body.
They have also tested a wide range of Nikon OEM and third-party lenses, as well as Fuji X cameras, providing a comprehensive list for reference.
The Fringer NF-FX II is currently available for purchase at $324 on the Fringer website. Alternatively, it is expected to be available at retailers like B&H, Amazon, and others in the near future.
