Summicron-c

[jwcat]

Has anyone used this lens with a X-E1? I have one with adapter for my G1. I am trying to decide between Oly MD-0 and X-E1. I also have the 20/1.7 and kit zoom for G-1, and Canon FD adapter.

Looking at Flickr, I can see a difference between these two cameras. Not sure if the difference is worth buying another system.

Fuji does not list the 40 as a usable M lens.

different (here comes the bad word: ) crop factor?
just saying

different system different strengths .. also, I'd go for the fuji w/ there lovely lenses (and drop the M43) if I had the money
I'm stuck with my e-p1 + 14/2.5 cos if I had the money to swap it for the XE-1 i'd get a pre-asph summilux instead and shoot film with it 😀

Like you, I am stuck with the E-P1-14/2.5 combo. Well think of it this way: if either of us bought the XE-1 and Summilux combo and it turned out to be just another digital camera experience, we'd only be out a mere 5 grand. Of course, we could sell and get 80% of that back--or just spend our money on film cameras/lenses in the first place.

Here is the reason I asked on here. A list of lens that Fuji posted. The 40-C is not on there, but another is. Just wondering.

I don't know if it fits the Fujifilm adaptor but with a Rayqual or similar, it should be great.
