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

Just a snapshot (ISO 6400), with an odd and ugly combination : Canon's cheap EF-S 18-55mm, at 18mm :

...
Also, another snapshot with my brother's Canon EF 100mm f2.0 :

There are taken wide open I assume? I mean, the adapter does not give you any aperture control?

It is wide open. I got the cheapest adapter (20$), but Rainbowimaging makes one with a ring that allows you to crontol the aperture. It is more expensive, approx. 50$.
 
Hello

Is no one using Pen-F lenses ?

Wouldn't they be ideal for the X series -
the only vintage manual focus lenses designed
for APC size sensor.

Or perhaps their FOV is not wide enough . . .

1946 uncoated Leitz Summitar 2/50mm on Fuji XE-1. Colours tend to be cooler, and contrast a bit flat, but details are well rendered.

I got the Olympus Pen 42mm F1.2 arriving in the next few days. I'll post some up in due course :)
 
1960's Pentax Super Takumar 50 1.4 on my X-E1:

Bellyface,

I have that lens too, adapted for my Canon 5dmkII, I have no issues.

But with the Kiwi m42-Fuji X adapter on my X-Pro1, I am not able to focus to infinity, do you have that problem with this lens?

Thanks

crankbait, got the adapter from rainbow imaging, and I can focus past infinity. so there is a little play before it.

Couple of photos of Charleston using the Industar 69 (for the half-frame Chaika) on the X-E1 with the RainbowImaging adapter. 200 ASA, f/8, aperture priority mode.

Got the lens yesterday from ebay; it had been "modified" (i.e. focus stops removed) to allow for infinity focus. I decided to keep it anyway and see how it performed. Not too shabby for a $50 lens.

Photos are jpgs from camera with sharpening and slight exposure tweaks. The contra jour photo of the harbor was shot with no lens or hand shade!

Jamie, what sort of adapter are you using? I have a lot of AR glass but have not been able to find an adapter.
