Keep looking for manual alternative of XF 27mm 2.8 lens.

 

Decided to try Voigtlander 28mm 2.8 SL II in Nikon F mount (Canon mount version is heavier and larger).

 

I like how it performs on Fuji sensor.

Saying about handling and lens size, it's very compact - only about 2" long including adapters.

I've used NikonF>LeicaM>FujiX adapter pair.

 

Focus ring is a bit far, but still in comfortable zone.

Lens has 52mm filter thread. I've put LH-40N lens hood for extra protection, and screwed in 39mm filter from the inner side to keep size smaller.

Well, that 2 adapters are just metal rings with corresponding mounts, there are no glass in adapters, so they do not affect lens in any way.

Focus distance remains the same - from 0.22mm to infinity.

 

I've recently started using Hawk's helicoid adapter for Leica M mount. It allows to focus with Leica M glass much closer, which is quite convenient with lens that has only 0.7m or 0.9m minimal focus distance.

With Nikon versions of Voigtlander 28mm 2.8 SL-II or Voigtlander 58mm 1.4 SL-II I can focus even closer with this adapter. But the main positive thing is - I just keep Hawk's helicoid on camera all the time and just switching Leica M lens or "adapted to Leica M" Nikon Voigtlanders.
