And for something a bit different

I love the X-Pro 1 for macro work.
 
Got an X-E1 a few weeks ago (my first digital camera) and wanted a lens in the 35-40mm range (35mm equivalent that is). Read really bad things about corner smearing etc. when mounting wide angle M and LTM lenses, but I ordered a cheap "KIWI" M39-FX adapter on ebay anyway just to try my 25mm LTM Snapshot Skopar. What can I say? I love it! The adapter is precise enough so that I can use the lens with the distance detents, which means I now have a digital scale focusing camera. The focal length of 37.5mm suits me perfectly. Haven't used the 18mm f2 Fuji lens since I got the adapter - I'll never be an autofocus guy, I guess.

Here are a few examples - shot in my neighbourhood today. Mostly at f8 and ISO 800.
