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

Not sure if this qualifies as a 'legacy' lens. It turns out a few of us have bought the Holga HL-N 60/8.0 for use on Fuji via a Nikon adapter. I finally got a chance to try it out.

This is not only a slow lens (fixed F8), it is also dim. I was shooting at ISO 1600 on a sunny day. Attached are OOC jpg's with Velvia simulation.

Lots of fun in a random sort of way...

So here is the 12-24f4 on the speedbooster. This shot was taken at between 12 and 15 setting. I would guess slightly over 13mm. Pano crop..

Gary, 12-24? What lens is that? Nice images above. I have to say that the modern lenses like the Nikkor 50/1.4 are producing images that seem almost too sharp... dazzling! Are you still liking using the Speed Booster? Does it feel a lot heavier than typical adapters? I'm still waiting for delivery of mine. :eek:

As u figured out the 12-24f4 afs dx from Nikon. It is slightly heavier then the Fuji m mount due to the built in optics as well as solid build. Yes.. I still like it Jamie.

Good luck w/ yours. Hope it works out for u.

Off 16th St WDC from this morning. Sometimes flare is a feature, not a bug!

I got my Kipon adapter today and dusted off one of the 60's era Nikon 55mmf3.5 lenses. I haven't used it in nearly 30 years so this was a real treat.
The adapter worked great. The weak link was my shooting flow of focus, aperture setting,composing and then pushing the go button.

Anybody out there using a Voigtlander 21/1.8 Ultron or a 35/1.2 v2 Nokton on a Fuji body? I can't find many shots on flickr with this combo and I'm considering if I should get the XF lenses or stick to my M lenses (including picking a 12mm Heliar instead of the 14/2.8)...

The 12mm Heliar is great (the ltm type, since it is smaller than the M-type) - and you don't need autofocus with that super wideangle. However the 1.2 Nokton is too big IMHO. I have both and for 35mm I use only summicrons.....
 
Thanks, Ron!
I think the 1.2 would balance better on an Xpro1 body, due to its size, I also have the 35/1.7 Ultron (which does work with the fuji adapter). I've used the 12mm a lot on an R-D1, and I just loved that combo.
 
Just ordered today a X-E1 and cant wait to try next weekend with my Nokton 35 1.2I.
Will report.
 
TKH, which adapter did you order? the Nokton 1.2 wont work with the Fuji adapter (i tried my v2 and it didn't fit, I'll get a Rayqual com Cameraquest)
