images: legacy lenses on the Fuji X-Pro and X-E cameras

[Ezzie]

Since there´s an awful lot of talk of which CSC cameras are best suited for mounting this and that of legacy lenses, I thought we would dedicate a thread for pictures shot with lenses mounted via one or other adapter, on the Fuji X-series interchangeable lens cameras. At current X-Pro1 and X-E1, but also future models yet to come.

Please state camera, lens and adapter for each post/picture. Comments and discussions welcome.

X-E1, VC Ultron 28/f1.9, Fuji M-adapter. 1/30s handheld, 200-640 ISO, @f4.

Ah, I like these two.

I will soon receive a Canon FD to XF adapter, so I will be able to contribute, if the set-up works properly.

Thank you. I took another the morning after, and made a triptych. All three shots taken within a span of less than 25 hours.

Hi Eirik,
I love your tri-series pictures. Stunning quality, precision and execution. Very nicely done.

 

[robert blu]

Ezzie, this triptych is spectacular! The single images are, but the combination works great.

Thank you both. All hand held. I set the camera to auto ISO aperture priority, took a reading and then set it to manual and a shutter speed of 1/125s, lower than that and the quality of the panoramas suffer, at least with a 75mm equiv lens as here.

I also made a point of moving slightly to one side for each shot so the trees in the foreground would move to the left successively, the background more or less untouched perspective wise. Worked out well.

It seems not many people are using Fuji for adapted lenses? I would love to see more, especially with Zeiss glass.

I would want to, but I will have to wait for my adapter to arrive. In about 40 days, or the time it takes for shipments from China to trickle down south. 🙂
