Let's start with the Leitz M-Rokkor 90mm 4.0...

Made in Germany by Leitz for the Minolta/Leica CL in the seventies.

Exact copy of the Leitz Elmar 90mm. Leitz/Minolta cooperation was really intesting and appreciated at that time.

One can find good samples of these lenses but the 40mm is often covered by white dots on the front element !

The 90mm can be found in good conditions, some haze on the middle element sometime.

Hi guys,

Not only Canon did make some rangefinder lens but Nikon did this as well (as well as Zeiss and Voigtlander and others as pointed out by VanDeKamp)

At least on the X-Pro1 they're fun to use and they can produce excellent images. I've been shooting a friends anniversary last night with a Voigtlander 35mm f1,2 and a Fuji 18mm f2,0 (the only Fuji lens I have) and once you get the hang of it they can do some magic!

I'll post one with the VM tonight.

Pedro

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
