Hello from Leica M-User

[Guest Him]

Not new to photography it is a life-long hobby for me. I have some Leica M lenses I want to use with the X-T2 which I tried out last week.

 I plan to buy the 18mm F/2.0 XF R lens to begin with until I am used to the system plus the M-Adapter, I have 28mm, 50mm, 90mm and 135mm.

 

Planning to use on the Fuji 50mm and 135 + the 18mm F/2.0 XF R. I may also try out the Macro-Elmar 90.

 

I tried in the shop the XF 50mm f/2 R WR, that is a cracking lens.

 

 

--update--

Ordered the XF 23mm F2 R WR lens after readind other reviews and listening to advice from the shop. So will soon be a owner of the X-T2, M-Adaptor the 23mm and battery grip.

 

The grip struck me as expensive, on the other hand one can use it as a charger for 2 batteries doing that sequentially in 2 hours. That is an excellent feature.

The 18mm is a peculiar lens. I like its character, but some think it is the worst Fujinon prime. For me, it is a great city lens. I have not used it

 

Welcome here [emoji4]

 

Edit: here is an article, from Jonas Rask, with a lot of photos from the 18mm: https://jonasraskphotography.com/2016/02/13/revitalisation-of-18/

I ended up with the 23mm & 50mm F2, both lovely lenses.

Ordered the 50-200mm as well. That will be my outfit. The zoom being for travel and zoos, that sort of photography. The rest of the time especially in the studio I will add the 90mm Leica.

 

Got the 50mm/90mm Fujis instead.
