The GFX cameras have a mode that allows to crop to 35mm format.
Although the GF lenses are generally great, there are sometimes reasons for adapting a full frame lens. Jim Kasson showed that a Nikon 70-200mm zoom lens gives better results in most cases than the GF 100-200mm. Sometimes you have lens with a unique rendering. Or whatever.
What I never understood is why the only aspect ratio that is availabe im 35mm format mode is 3:2. Aside from the larger sensor, for a lot of people the 4:3 aspect ratio (and the possibility to choose from a wide range of other aspect ratios) is an important reason for choosing the GFX system.
Wouldn't it be nice to adapt a 35mm format lens and shoot in 4:3? Or 1:1? Would make it the better full fram camera ;-)
Fuji could optimize the used sensor area for maximum use of the 43,2mm image circle that full frame lenses are designed for. If you crop the 3:2 to 4:3 you end up with 32 x 24mm. But the image circle of 43,2mm of a full frame lens would allow more (34,6*26,0mm).
