Wed, 02 Jul 2025 00:01:26 -0700

Dear Fringer EF-NZ II and EF-NZ users,

Please download EF-NZ I/II 2.10 firmware and update your adapter if your Z8 camera stopped working with adapted EF lenses after it's upgraded to v3.0.

Urgent! EF-NZ I/II users: Don't update your Nikon Z8 to v3.0

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 00:44:23 -0700

We have discovered a compatibility issue with the new firmware v3.0 for the Nikon Z8 that has just been released. Sometimes the camera does not recognize the adapter when it is turned on (F-- is displayed on the screen). If you want to use a Fringer EF-NZ or EF-NZ II to adapt Canon EF lenses, please do not update the camera for now. We are still working on this issue. New adapter firmware will be released later to resolve this issue. Thank you.

New product released: Fringer EF-FX Ultra (the focal reducer version)

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 18:37:05 -0700

We are pleased to announce that Fringer EF-FX Ultra (FR-FX071) is released!

It is a focal reducer/speed booster version of the well-known Fringer EF-FX series, which adapts EF mount lenses to Fujifilm X cameras while keeping full-frame lenses' optical performance as much as possible. It features a newly designed 2-group 5-element optic. Unlike some similar products in the market, the priority of the new design is image quality. To achieve this goal, we even sacrificed the magnification ratio a little bit, i.e., to about 0.74x. The new adapter has similar AF performance and compatibility as EF-FX Pro III.

Using this adapter, the focal length will be reduced and the aperture will be wider. For example, a EF24-70mm F/2.8 lens will become approximately 17-51mm F/2.0.

The new product will be available in the market soon. A preorder is opened now in our webstore.
