One of the best reviews that I have read. Like you I enjoy using vintage lenses and went through the same evolution as you have. Though I prefer longer focal lengths, with my favorite being a Voigtlander 75mm f/2.5 and a Konica 135mm f/3.2. Looking forward to getting the X-Pro 2. Thanks for your efforts.
I hope to get my X-Pro2 soon.. provided they are able to ship in time and stop pushing back the ship date.. recently, it looks like they fixed the firmware to where they finally have a production firmware they can use and ship with the X-Pro2 now.. hence, online stores have moved up the expected ship date from March 25 to March 10.. I hope it will be sooner.
What is the adapter you used on your XP2 that you said was a cm deep on the 40mm? Such a beautiful lens on the XP2. I was thinking it was something like this? -REG/fotodiox_lm_fx_p_pro_fujifilm_x_mount_adapter.html/pageID/accessory
HI There,
I am from Hong Kong, and always been a great fan of your works,
i just got a X-Pro2 for its Acros filmsimulation,
but one thing keep bothering me on B&W pictures shooting by Fujifilm cameras,
B&W pics came out seems flat and plain, very boring,
Any tips on camera settings? Or maybe i should tune it on Lightroom???
Hey Jonas,
did you ever have any issues with circular scratches on the plastic frame right above the sensor? I saw a picture where the back of the Zhongyi Lens Turbo Adapter II causes such scratches.
