Yes. These are both in good shape with clear glass.Just curious, do you typically check all your lenses for fog, haze, fungus and separation with the rear flashlight test?

I have the 2.8 LTM version and tested against several 50’s I own on a Sony A7RII w/ Techart adapter and I think it’s the sharpest of the bunch.Yes indeed!
I'd be more than happy with either of these.
Does anyone have experience with the thread mount Fujinon 50/2 or 50/2.8?
The Fujinon is built like a tank. The Canon is a lot lighter. Both are very smooth in operation and have nice positive click stops on aperture ring. Weighed without filter or lens capsNothing definitive here, but a couple shots from the Fujinon 35/2 a couple yrs ago on Fuji Superior 400, out of date film. Mounted on a Tanack V3 I had just gotten before a trip to Maine. probably not optically any better than most mid 50's RF wides, but just love the "solid" feel of this lens. This is a second example of this lens I have owned, and you are right, "they ain't cheap!
Once I returned home, I charged up a brand new battery, attached the camera to my computer with USB cable and turned on the camera. My computer recognized the Nikon, and I was able to use camera-based menu system to re-install the latest version of the firmware. Camera appears to work OK. I have no idea what happened, but something glitched. So far, so good, but do not trust the camera yet. I hope that this is a one-time issue, I really like the images from the Z6, even if the controls, lens mount and other stuff is "Nikon backwards"😀Sorry for the Z6. Is it terminal?
How recessed are each of the rear groups into the camera? I'm thinking that would create a difference.I am curious what others think about why the Fuji looks like it is about 2/3 of a stop less exposed than either of the Canons.
Yeah, me neither! I bought it to use on 70+ year old lenses, especially on 35mm and wider, where the Nikon does better with lenses that protrude deep into the body of the camera. I think that the Sony is comparable on lenses like the ones in this thread. The Nikon does much better on the 21 and 35mm Biogons, Biometar and other lensesVery odd, my Z6 hasn't ever done that. I find it a great platform for adapted lenses. I do not, in fact, have any native Z mount lenses. 🙂
