Oh I don't generally use C1 to convert directly from raw to jpg. I am so used to working on .tiff files with PS.

Can you post a screenshot crop of that?
I have noticed that most unpleasing blur gradation comes from correcting highlights and shadows with the sliders. The zone in between the affected areas can be not so smooth. Maybe I should get back to curves for a more natural gradation now that they are implemented in LR.

Took a quick snapshot of kiddo while playing at the playground. Focus was aimed at her eyes, but you know how kids are (they constantly move), and the 50R is sadly not a speed demon. (The shot is very slightly out of focus on the eye).
Combo was GFX50R + Fringer-Tamron SP 85 1.8. Shot wide open. Very useable! I don't think I would need the Native GF 80 1.7. I am lurking for a Sigma Art 135 1.8 though ;-)
The Tamron shows no signs of CA wide open! I would have to test it under higher contrast scene.
Any experience with the Sigma Art 135 mm 1.8 on the GFX system? I heard the lens covered the 44x33 sensor very well.

You wrote about the Tamron 45mm comparison:
If this is what you seek in a longer lens too, I would advise that you save your money and get the GF 110mm instead.
It has smoother out of focus areas than the Sigma 135mm 1.8. You just have to stand closer to your subject to attain similar background blur. Personally I like both. The Sigma OOF can be great looking, but at certain distances it reminds of some of the film camera lenses, “bombarded with details” as you say, which is perhaps what draws me.
The GF 110 provides also more consistent eye focus on the GFX50 than the Sigma.
Both are great lenses, but they are different.

sometimes, a return of focus like in the upper right corner
Through the glass window
Also some portraits. It is hard to prove what I suggested earlier about the busier bokeh of the Sigma 135 vs the GF110, since I don't have side by side comparisons. But it is just my impression. The images have been edited. At full aperture except the last one
Sigma 135 - 1
GF 110 - 1
Sigma 135 - 2
GF 110 - 2
Sigma 135 - 3
Sigma 135 - 4 @ f3,2

Thanks for providing theses samples. The photo above has the best bokeh of the whole series! I do have the GF 110, which is probably the best GF lens Fuji ever released.
So if you already had the GF 110, you would not recommend the Sigma 135 ?
Even at relatively long distances, the GF 110 always seems to deliver a smooth oof background.

Max

Personally I don't mind the bokeh of the 135 and other lenses like it. Some painters like watercolour, others acrylic, and others oil painting. Which is nicer? Its a matter of personal taste and of making a good use of the tools.
The GF 110 and the Sigma 135 are both big ans heavy lenses, and although they complement each other in a way, I don't think many photographers would carry both, along with other lenses. In my routine, I would take the GF110 if I plan on taking simple portraits, or if I want to take group or wedding photographs. Any time I can get at the distance I want from the people. But if I have to take people from a little distance, leaving them mostly unaware, the 135mm or longer, like the 200mm f2,8 II which I have also but seldom use now that I have the 135, or the behemoth f1,8 or f2 versions, which I never owned, can make a difference. So yes, I will keep both, but it's not a priority to have them both.

I will need to think about the 135. I was thinking of getting one for outside portraiture but the GF110 can do the job very well.

This lens used to accompany many fashion photographers as their go to lens. The manual focus version is outdated and can be purchased for an outrageously low price, for the quality it offers. Those test pictures don't do it justice.
I won't reveal it right away to give someone a chance to recognise it. The first picture is a stitched panorama.

Me neither. The Mamiya A 150mm f2.8. A stands for Apo. A 1996 lens for the 645 film cameras. The focal length on 645 is equivalent to a 93mm on 35mm format. Evgenii Artemov has a full description of it on his website. And also of the subsequent D version, a modernized AF lens for their digital camera, with even higher resolving power, and used also on Phase 1 cameras.I am not really good at guessing
The manual focus version is very usable on the GFX. I had it on the Canon 1Ds3 and it made gorgeous portraits at the time (example f2.8 ). My ability at focussing a manual lens was better then!

That lens has a very nice rendering ! Merci pour le partage! (Au passage, j ai obtenu la dernière version de C1)Me neither. The Mamiya A 150mm f2.8. A stands for Apo.

Thank you! This lens is not related to Fringer with third party lenses, but I simply thought that the digression could be entertaining.
Does the last version of C1 differ with the Fringer lens profiles support?
You know that you can install a trial version of LR and still use it after expiry, with the exception of the develop module, should you want to see how it supports your Fringer-GFX files.

I have C1 pro, but I have not updated to the latest update yet. Though I don't think the issue comes from the Fringer adapter. C1 does not have lens support for the Tamron SP 45 and 85 mm 1.8 lenses. There are some serious omission in the list of supported lenses. I don't think the Sigma 135 mm 1.8 is supported either.
I could check that at some point. I really don't like the subscription model and I have a hard to support them
Cheers,
Max
I tested Tamron 35 and 45 SP. I agree. Eventually I managed to get a new copy of 35.
