About 2 months ago I switched from a Canon system to Fuji. I could not be more in love with the Fuji. Anyways one of the biggest things that brought me to Fuji was the ability to adapt lenses so easily. Here is my collection so far:

  • Canon 28mm F3.5 FD mount
  • Canon 50mm F1.4 FD mount
  • Mamiya Sekor 50mm F2 M42 mount
  • Super Takumar 50mm F1.4 M42 mount
  • Super Takumar 105mm F2.8 M42 mount

Looks great. I am aspiring to do the same thing but am currently stuck while being educated on how to work with lens adapters 🙂 This is the group of FD lenses  I have to work with - I’m sure some are better suited than others.

20mm 2.8

50mm 1.4

35-70mm zoom

100mm 4.0 macro

135mm 2.5

100-200 zoom

300mm 5.6

Thanks,

Al

Bonjour ,

J' ai essayé le 2 de 28mm, le 2 de 35 mm et d'autres 1. 4 de 50 mm .Ils avaient tous une dominante jaune J'ai  revendus tous ces  ces objectifs Il me reste d'ailleurs un 24 mm dont je souhaite me séparer

.Et un jour j'ai acquis un canon 1.8 de 85 mm SSC et là c'est une pure merveille . Qualité des blancs piqué tout en un....

Les objectifs Konica sont pour  moi les meilleurs 28 24 35 85 100 et bien d'autres . 

Cordialement 

JM

Yellow tint?  I wonder if coatings change over time?

Yellowing is very common on certain older 'radioactive' glass used by some lens makers. Takumars and early FD lenses were noted for this and it's hard to find a non-yellowed Super-Takumar 50mm f1.4 for example. 

As to lenses, I adapt a mix of newer and older manual focus glass and currently have the following non-AF lenses that get used on my Fuji's to some extent or another:

Laowa 15mm f4 Macro (F mount, modern but manual focus and 1:1 macro)

Nikkor 20mm f2.8 AF (works fine as a manual lens)

Nikkor 24mm f2.8 K non-AI

Neewer 25mm f1.8 MC (rebranded 7Artisans, native Fuji mount but non-electronic)

Nikkor-H 28mm f3.5

Nikkor 35mm f2 AI

Super Takumar 35mm f3.5

Nikkor-S.C 5cm f1.4 LTM (my oldest and most beloved lens)

Nikkor 50mmf 1.8D (like the 20, works fine as a manual lens)

Micro-Nikkor 55mm f3.5 AI

Nikkor 105mm f2.5 AI-S (the famous 'Afghan Girl' lens)

Nikkor 200mm f4 AI 

Nikkor 300mm f4.5 K Ai'd

Nikkor 70-300mm f4-5.6 AF-D (works just fine as a manual lens)

Nikkor 50-135mm f3.5 AI-S

Vivitar 70-150mm f3.8 MC C/Y mount

Adapted lenses are all I use for my "personal" work. Love them. These are the ones I use most often on my x-t3, though I have too many to mention here.

 

Nikon 105mm 1.8

Contax/Zeiss 28mm 2.8

AutoSears 55mm 1.4

Konica AR 35mm f2

"Bokina" 90mm macro

Yashica ML 55mm 1.2

Nikon 300mm f4 AF "d" version

 

Which adapter are you using for your Nikon lenses? Is it a dumb adapter or with glass?

What adapters is everyone using? I'm interested in adapting Canon FD lenses (and maybe Canon EF lenses as well) to Fuji X.

There are so many brands and models. Some seem very basic, while others are super expensive such as Metabones Speed Booster models that cost around $600+. 

Also, any bad experiences?

Thank you.

      AutoISO in video

      By Fuj-ELondon · Posted

      Hi, I've owned a XT3 for some time, mainly for stills - I've taken the occasional video but not really paid much attention to the settings. I started to take more videos now - and I've noticed that whilst using AutoISO, there is no display of the actual ISO that the XT3 is selecting. I would find this useful so I can tell if I should remove/reduce the ND filter. The only way around this would be to set manual ISO, and maybe use a variable ND for adjustment.Then I got an XT4 - and I've noticed that the XT4 does show the actual ISO. Just wondering if anyone knows if this is a 'new' feature on the XT4. Or was it possible to see on the XT3 and I've inadvertently disabled it. A friend has an XT2 which behaves like my XT3 - no specfic ISO displayed.

      XT-3 (NEW) locks up / freezes randomly

      By Susan · Posted

      I'm having the same issue when I'm using the camera with a Godox flash light! Almost every 10-20 photos the issue occurs and the camera freezes completely, the indicator lamp turns into orange. And same here I have to literally take the battery out to resume the camera.  Look for a solution too.

      I got excited there for a review, but then I read the only one comment on the listing:

      X-T2/3 Microphone Pre-AMP is BUZZING and Hissing [deep-dive video]

      By Ned_Sayer · Posted

      Update1: I've tried using a "Ground Loop Isolator" but that did not clear up the problem... like at all. I made a video in italian (I live in italy) but the gist is pretty obvious: Looking for recommendations... I've been told also that an EMI shield for a power socket as a Power Conditioner was advised to clean up the dirty sound

      My Mac isn't detecting my XT30 when I plug it in

      Try opening Photos and seeing if it appears under albums. If it does, you can import all the images to your Photos Library. However, if you want to organize your pictures further, you have to export them as Unmodified Originals.
