Hi all,

 

Just a quick word to let you know that I sometimes use my two Zeiss manual focus primes, which originally come with ZF2 mount for Nikon bodies.

 

I use a Novoflex adapter like this one:

It is a bit costly to acquire but it works superbly well, and the iris ring, altough a bit cumbersome and not super-precise, woeks satisfactorily. And of course the Zeiss optical quality does not leave much to be desired. The two primes I have are the Distagon 15mm f/2.8 and the Apo-Sonnar 135mm f/2 (which makes a stunning 200mm telephoto on the smaller sensor of the X-Pro 1).

      Blood Moon and More...

      This moon is waxing up to be September's Corn Moon. This year, the Corn Moon offers more than telling us it is harvest time. This moon will be the longest blood moon of the year. It happens September 7 - 8 (The Earth's  shadow eclipses the moon.). Folks in Australia, Asia, Africa, and Europe get to see a lunar eclipse. https://www.timeanddate.com/news/astronomy/moon-september-2025

      This brings back memories! You started a dozen years before me, but tri-x was still my state of the art (along with plus-x and pan-x). That was a lot of fun. But now I sure do like setting my "film" speed to suit every shot, and letting the camera focus, and the faster sharper lenses. And I love how much less a desktop computer smells, compared to the wet darkroom. Welcome!

      Hi I’m more than a photo enthusiast I started with a canon tlql and a 50 lens when I was 10 (62 years ago) I’ve been hooked ever-sense. So I guess I came up through the ranks with auto nothing and processing my tri-x in my mom’s basement. Until I got my first 3mp Nikon fixed lens camera. It was a toy for me as I was a working professional in the Atlantic City NJ USA location. Shooting with Nikons and Mamiyas. Soon I went all digital with Nikons eventually traded for mirrorless Sony as I needed a “quiet” camera so Sony A9 with 2 lenses 24-105,70-200. Eventually I slowly retired until I’m no longer working and only shoot for fun! Long story how I got here, I’ve been watching and reading about Fuji x100 series, I finally got the x100vi and been enjoying it. I got it for the film simulation features. I gotta admit I’m finding it fun to shoot with and amazing quality of the images it produces.  JCS
