Natively the Fuji new line up and the HC lenses. With 2 adapters stacked, any lens that can be mounted on a H6D should be mountable too.

Besides, that will depend on the adapters that will be created for it. The flange distance of the G mount is 26mm, which is 20mm less than F mount, 18mm less than EOS,... you can pretty much mount any of these also. I am sure that many 35mm lenses will have enough coverage for this small MF sensor.

I would be interested in being able to mount my Otus lenses on the Fuji, in particular my 28mm f1.4. This would be very interesting...

cheers,
Bernard

I would love to see an adapter for the Contax 645 lenses.

I would love to see a Mamiya/Phase One adapter with electronic aperture control.  That would make the GFX a cost effective and very credible back-up to an XF system... well I guess only if C1 Pro supported the GFX...

I think giving the Xpan lenses (~34mm flange distance, Fuji made!) a go on a GFX would be fun.  :)

I would be happy with just the Schneider P1 lens adapter. But I doubt that will ever happen.

So with the HC adapter it seems that AF is not available. That's not a killer deal breaker, but would it be possible to at some point make that available through firmware or is the technology completely different where it would not?

Yes P1 Lenses would be cool. But i think this will not happen...

I'd be inclined to pick one up to try out if a Pentax 645 adapter came out.

Rollei 6008... Although the electronics could be a problem (both aperture and shutter).

+1 on this.

I just wonder if releasing the G mount H adapter is one way of a shot over the bow of Hasselblad. As regards, Phase, we all know they could make an adapter today, but perhaps they are still wooing Phase to allow C1 usage of GFX RAW files in C1.

The again, perhaps it could be double edged sword where if GFX files can be used in C1 then no adapter will be released for Phase lenses. I have mixed feelings on what I would like to see if only one choice was possible, but right now I am leaning toward using Phase lenses on the GFX and back to LR I go.

We don't need a Fuji - phase adapter. We just need someone (like novoflex) to produce one.

Still are all rumors, but apparently picture were available until pulled sometime this am. 

Appears that Fuji is working lens adapter for several high end cameras including the Otis line up and Schneider LS glass.  They don't mention the P1 name, and the SK 35mm  lens mentioned shows F4 instead of the correct F3.5 (not aware of a different 35mm SK LS).  Still all good news.  Note, links are to a closed Facebook group, so currently you can't see the Schneider adapter.

The Schneider TS is the 28mm behemoth I am assuming...  That would make a very interesting architectural setup if it can still utilize the majority of the shift movement.  I would be very curious to see if this kind of solution minimizes color cast issues compared to sticking the 44mm sensor on tech cams as we've seen already.

The Schneider in the pics is actually a older lens, at least by the look of it.  Possibly a MF lens to start with. 

Not sure how the LS glass would work with an adapter, I guess if Fuji can get the Hasselblad leaf shutter to work, they might get the Schneider to work also? However Fuji has a bit more knowledge on the Hasselblad side since they made lenses for H for a long time.

Received a new video from a French dealer where he has all 6 lenses. That 110/2.0 looks to be the same size as the 32-64. The 32-64 lens he shows does not have internal focusing which I was lead to believe that lens actually was.  The lens data starts around 7 minutes.

Yes that is a bit of an issue with the 32-64, as it will possible extend out quite a bit max zoom.

I am right: the 23mm for us landscape shooters is the middle size in this film? I hope this will be a good lens...

The 85 1.4 Otus on this thing has sure got me wondering. This Fuji is getting more and more interesting.
