[Moderator... could this thread be made a "sticky" thread? Thanks.]


The Fuji X bodies are ideal platforms for using adapted lenses. Post your images here and provide lens and adapter info.

Thanks for joining the thread, Helen. :)
I had that lens for years, then it sadly got sold off in order to buy some new-fangled gadget. :-(

I find nothing beats the Fuji lenses. The camera software corrects for any lens' fault which it cannot not do for non-Fuji lenses. I bought adapters for Leica, Nikon and Pentax and after playing around with them I just ended up going with the Fuji lenses.

The quality of the Fuji glass is excellent. But their MF implementation is lacking in most of their lenses.

If they could re-release some of their primes with a proper manual focus or at least with the focus clutch mechanism of the 14 & 23, my guess is that they could sell quite a few more.

I agree, I have the 35/1.4 and 18/2--they're great, especially the 35 but I have just never figured out AF. Much happier using adapted MF lenses on the XPro1.
 
just picked up a Tamron Adaptall 200mm - 500mm F 6.9 and an adapter for Fuji Xpro2. Thing is a beast hahaha. will post some pictures from it soon.

I just got the Pergear 25/1.8. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but soon. :)

I realized after posting this is not quite an adapted lens! Very sorry. I am enjoying it though and very happy with the results. Click-less aperture is a pain however. In the mail is a VC 25/4... I'm excited to properly adapt it.
