Yes I read the rumours about SE2 coming. Would be good. I have an iPhone 6 just got a 2nd hand iPhone 8 plus for my wife who loves taking photos but does not want the hassle of a camera (her words). I think she's OK for quite a while now. She had an iPhone 4 and took some great photos with that...

I have an Xe2 and an Xt1. I also have the 16-50mm lens. The lens is great, light, great IQ, Stabilisation etc etc. Never used an XT10. I'd go for the Xe2S (B & H have a great deal I think NEW) and get a used or new 16-50. Very light and and fun to use. If you don't like rangefinder style the...

For me my one lens kit is X-t1 & 18-135mm or my X-e2 and 14mm. When I've saved enough cash and found the right deal I'll get a used 50-230mm to go with my 16-50mm with the X-e2 for a super light kit. For specialist stuff, close up, bokeh, portrait etc I go to my old Konica and Nikon primes on...

I was confused when the email came through but understand now. I've been taking photos since I was about 10 years old. I had a Paxette 35mm. My father encouraged me. I still have his Contaflex 1. Shot Nikon most of my adult life, Nikkormat, FPhotomic, FM & FM2. Moved to digital with D80 which...

Nice shots - lovely lens. Great colour and clarity. Thanks for sharing them.

Really good images. Very good lens. Underrated. Well done.

I have the 18-130mm I get sharp photos at all focal lengths now. Took me a while to get used to the lens. First shots were terrible. Very happy now. Hoping to pick up a used 50-230 some time for the longer reach. With my vintage Konica lenses 200mm and 135mm I crank up the ISO and aim for at...

Some photos of my XT1 with Konica Hexanon 50mm f1.7, Hexar 135mm f3.5 and 200mm f4. Also with Nikon 24mmAF f2.8 & 35mmAi'd f2.8. The XT1 is so much easier to use with manual focus than the XE2. I get pretty good results. My two faves are the 50mm Hexanon and the 35mm Nikon. The price/quality...

Brilliant set of photos. Thanks for sharing another part of the planet!

Great set of photos. Really excellent. I've left a comment on your Web Site. A question which font do you use on your web site? It's really good! I would appreciate knowing what it is.

Hi I bought one about a month ago used. Sure not the latest and greatest but I love the viewfinder. I have an XE2 and the difference is quite extraordinary, the viewfinder, battery life (3 times more at least) and I've paired it with an 18-135mm (bought from Mexico - great supplier great deal)...

Nice shot! I use Nikon glass on my XE2 & XT1. 35,50 & 104 Ai 24 AFD. The 35 and 105 are my two faves. I also use Konica Hexanon 50 1.7 and 135 3.5. I love the IQ and the feel of the lenses. The photo is 105mm Ai'd on XE2 at, I think, f8.

What a great set of photos. Really wonderful. Inspiring.

Would be great to get their 18-400mm for Fuji. Would be a fantastic lens for me.

Cracking shot!

What a great set of photos. Great work by you. Love them and that lens is a corker.

Great shots. Brilliant lens. Thank you.

Great photo!

Really good shot. I use 24mm, 35mm and 105mm Nikon lenses on my XE2 with great results. Also Konica Haxanon 50mm F1.7 - very sharp and cheap lens with interesting bokeh. Cost me under €20 with €8 postage from Germany. I also have a Hexanon 135mm which has great colour and is pretty sharp too...

Yes I agree - not just for the IQ but for the feel of metal, craftsman made lenses, that don't cost a fortune. Pura Vida

Hi here's the Ken Rockwell link Nikon 105mm f/2.5 Review and I see the lens on ebay is Ai'd. These lenses are truly excellent. I made the mistake of selling one when I moved to digital. I missed it so much I bought another!

Hi here's mine. If you have Nikon as well it will need to be Ai'd or will damage lens mount. Not sure if you use it with a Nikon - Fuji adapter. If you need a contact who will Ai a lens for you I have a great guy in the US.Here's a photo of mine. I think the one in the link is essentially the...

No correction here as I've never used a Voigtlander lens but my Nikon Ai 35mm f2.8 in particular is sweet to focus as are the 105mm Ai and the 24mm D - the 35mm is brilliant with my XE2 fantastic image quality it just works. The 105 is a close 2nd both really sharp. Just sharing my experience...

I'd keep your adaptive lenses unless you really need the cash. They are fun to use as you know. I've had mixed results - the three I love the best and produce pretty fine results are a 35mm F2.8 Ai Nikon, a 105mm F2.5 Ai Nikon and a 50mm F1.7 Konica Hexanon. Right now I am not in a position to...

Hi I use an XE2 with Nikon & Konica Hexanon non AF lenses. Works well with the EVF & focus peaking. If I were you I'd go for wither XE2/2S, XT1, XT10/20 depends on your body style preference. Just my view. Food for thought.

Great let's hope you like it and it produces some great images for you!

It would be great to hear how you get on.

Hi if you want alternatives you can look at Konica Hexanon lenses. Jupiter 9 85mm. KMZ Jupiter 11A 135mm. Meyer Optik. Pentacon. Helios. The Nikon 200mm non A/F lens gets great reviews and is really inexpensive. I use Hexanon 50mm F1.7 and 135mm. Also Nikon A1 F2.5 105mm and Ai 35mm F2.8...

Thanks v much. I'm really pleased you liked it. What makes me smile is that the current Nikon 105 costs 20x as much! Pura Vida from Costa Rica.

Here's a photo I took yesterday near where I live. F5.6 ISO400 1/950. I am amazed at the quality of both the lens and the camera. The lens must be 40 years old. Cost $95 at KEH plus $25 for Ai conversion. In mint condition.

I bought my 105mm at KEH (like new in perfect condition) for $95 then had it Ai'd in the States using John White Ai Conversions (he's a guru on this subject and a really nice guy) AI Conversions for Nikon Lenses: Effective, Fast and Affordable! He also Ai'd a 35mm F2.8 lens which is a peach...

I use 24mm AF with aperture ring, 35mm Ai and 105mm F2.5 Ai on my XE2 as well as my Nikons. Get great results. Also Konica Hexanon F1.7 50mm. Another great lens and really inexpensive. Love the XE2 for the same reasons as you. Have the 16-50 Plastic Fantastic Fuji zoom as well. Love to see...

So lovely. Great bokeh. Great Colours. Great shot.

For me the ideal lens would be the 18-135mm. It would give me everything I want. Currently saving up for one. I use the 16-50 a lot. I love it. Plus various manual focus Nikon lenses from 24 to 105mm and 70 - 300mm old zoom plus Konica Hexanon 50mm and 135mm.

Great photos looks like a pretty damn good lens to me.

What a beautiful photo.

Love them.

Very nice.

I clicked on the recent posts button, found the post and there it was.

Hi Dave. I use the plastic fantastic 16-50mm all the time on an XE2. I have no experience of the 18-55mm or any other Fuji lenses as I use "vintage" Nikon and Konica Hexanon lenses as I can't afford the top line Fuji stuff. Personally I think it's a great lens. It's very light and for me makes...

I use 50mm Konica Hexanon F1.7, Nikon Ai 35mm F2.8 & 105mm F2.5 on my XE2 love these old lenses. Here's one with the Nikon Ai 35mm and the other with the 50mm Hexanon. Love your photos too - the atmosphere, bokeh and colours.

Really glad you like it. It seems to have come with overcast skies - the pink just arrives from nowhere when then sun sets. Here's another example. We just narrowly avoided Hurricane Otto which wrecked havoc a few miles North of us. It was coming straight at us then veered North. Feeling very...

Hi Britanica here's another to make you smile (I hope!) and warm you up if you are in a cold climate......taken the evening before Hurricane Otto was going to arrive - fortunately it side stepped us.

Hello I just posted one photo under the name Andy Garcia. Once I get the hang of things I'll try and post a few photos like your post above. I may be wrong but I pretty sure you gave me some really helpful advice, maybe a year ago, when I was about to buy a Fuji. Your photo remind me so much of...

The light in Costa Rica is amazing. Playa Tamarindo on the North Pacific coast gets some great sunsets. I use either 16-50mm "plastic fantastic', vintage Ai Nikon lenses 35/50/105mm and Hexanon 50mm. I love the XE2 so light, small and easy to carry around. Processed with LR and Intensify CK.

Great photos. Takes me back to when I lived in Bristol and used to spend a lot of time around Painswick and the Cotswolds. Now Costa Rica with my XE2/16-50mm "Plastic Fantastic" and various vintage primes from Nikon and Hexanon. Will have to pluck up courage and post soon.

I've just installed it and will be using it in much the same way as you. I'd hoped to be able to try it as a LR replacement but lens correction is not coming to next year. Some very good examples for me. Thanks for putting this together.

Thanks so much for your response. You have helped me a lot. All the best!
