i own the fujica 135 2.5 and an older nikon 135   2.8 that i use   with a first generation speed booster on the  xe2\ xe1

 

 

i prefer the fujica   for its lovely render and crispness....  ut the nikon has served indoor without flash  with the speedbooster   in a pinch

I agree about the Jupiter-11, 135mm f4.  Very compact and sharp lens with a creamy defocus.  

 

Fuji X-a1 with Contax mount Jupiter-11

Hey man, would you mind posting a pic of your lens? (mounted on the camera too, if it's not too much to ask, but not as important)

- I find multiple versions of the lens that are very different looking, so I assume the design might differ as well

 

The second photo bokeh and the third photo background foliage ... damn ... it looks so old, film-like, and awesome :)

I just had to ask when I saw those! Nice stuff

 

Thanks in advance, either way :)

Out of these lenses, which would be the most compact?  (including the adaptor)

 

The OM I assume?

Yes, it might be OM — it's 360g.

 

I had an Olympus OM Zuiko E.Zuiko Auto ­T 135mm f/2.8. Compact with very good resolution. My Canon FD 135/2.8 has better contrast, though. Otherwise same optical performance.

 

Here's more about it:

This is a test on Canon FDn 135mm f/2.8 vintage lens on Fuji X-A1. 100% crops are from tif file processed from a RAW file using Adobe Camera Raw. Sharpening and NR were zeroed in ACR. The f/2.8 and f/3.4 crops have some contrast added. Otherwise no adjustment done. The test scene had a low contrast so it was quite challenging for the lens.

I only recently acquired one of the Fujinon 135mm f2.8 lenses after a frustrating attempt to find a Leica Elmar 135  that I could afford, but have to say I could not be happier.  I have adapted it to my X-E2 with a Fotodiox adapter that also has a tripod mount on the adapter.  So I find when I use it with my monopod, it really balances very well.  I'm just starting to use it & here are a few images taken wide open in an effort to test its' sharpness & out of focus results.  Also shown is a snap of the lens mounted on my X-E2.

Hi Joel, if you want to get a jupiter-11 on a Fuji-x you can either get a LTM39 or a Contax Yashica Mount.  

 

CY mount use - Nikon(s)-FX adaptor

LTM39 use - LTM-FX adaptor

i`ve done a little shoot-out (sooc, iso 200, noise 0, sharpness 0, total, crop left upper, crop center) in the german forum between...

 

schneider kreuznach: tele-xenar 1:3.5/135; 6 blade; m42; adaptor kiwi

at f-stop 3.5 / 8 / 11

 

voigtländer: color-dynarex 1:4/135; 6 blade; m42; adaptor kiwi

at f-stop 4 / 8 / 11

 

olympus om: e.zuiko auto-t 1:3.5/135; 8 blade; oly-bajonet; adaptor quenox

at f-stop 3.5 / 8 / 11

 

...imho the oly is clearly the best of these three.

 

since i own a mint vivitar series1 1:2.5/90 macro (bokina) this is now my prefered short telephoto lense because of its additional macro capabilities.

My two cents: Minolta AF 135 2.8, all shots aprox. f4 with K&F adapter on a X-T10

And for comparison, this is a fujinon XF 60 mm macro. f425730136244_e72f8b3c41_h.jpgDSCF1641 by Manuel Bustos, en Flickr

 

Both lenses are tack sharp. May be the fujinon xf is even sharper... or not, I couldn't really say

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
