Hi all, I'm looking for a super wide angle choice that would be (a) optically good and (b) economical. I have narrowed it down to two options from Samyang: either the 12mm f/2 (Fuji X-mount) or the 14mm f/2.8 (adapted). In fact, since I'm using a focal reducer with manual lenses on Fuji...

Thank you Peter. I agree with your view on shooting discipline; I do shoot film (35mm) and discovered the same. Perhaps I didn't express myself correctly; I've read that the lens aperture range is f/4-9.5, and this is something you see mentioned online. Upon investigation of the manual, I...

Some more recent scans; all these are from an event of the Greek Historic Motorcycle Club Olympus OM-4 with my very last (non-expired) roll of Kodak Ektachrome

Thanks for the replies everyone! One concern with the GA645 is that aperture only goes to f/9.5, if I understand correctly (please educate me on that). Being MF, I don't know if this would be sufficient for extended DoF (although the lens is aprox. equivalent to 37mm for 135 format, which...

...or encourage me! :smile: I don't have a medium format film camera, and I was thinking this is probably a great choice, not being in the mood of investing too much or getting too involved with MF system cameras. The GA645 seems like a "compact MF" really, easy to use, portable and quite...

Thank you René!

A few of the latest film scans; Olympus OM-4, Kodak TMax400:

Probably (very) late on this thread but let me chime in concerning the 18-55, possibly for future reference if anyone's interested. My initial Fuji experience was with the X-M1 and the 16-50 kit lens (plus the 27mm f/2.8). The 16-50 is a very respectable little kit lens, I'd say certainly...

For my main (m43) system I already have a host of manual flashes, used mainly off-camera with Cactus triggers, but I'd also like a small flash for the Fuji with TTL capability. Ι was looking into either the Fujifilm EF-42 or the new Nissin i40. Any experiences and suggestions about these...

Bob Ross - Wikipedia Thomas Shahan is often compared with the late Bob Ross, due to his gentle, casual and down to earth style of explaining things. I have first noticed Thomas 3 or 4 years ago, and still recomment him as a source for "super macro" instructions.

I'm currently using the Roxsen/Camdiox adapter for some time now, on the X-M1 and X-E2. I have to say I'm very satisfied with the results; can't comment on other focal reducers, but I have reason to believe the Camdiox is the same optically as the Lens Turbo (please comment if you have any...

Thank you for the article. I always argued that OM Zuikos are one of the best choices for adapting in any mirrorless system, due to the combination of advantages mentioned in the article. I have personally used the 24 f/2.8, 50 f/1.8, 50 f/3.5 macro, 35 f/2 and 85 f/2 with a number of Pens...

I'm getting a XE-2 (probably tomorrow) and I'd appreciate impressions on the firmware upgrade for this model. Once again, kudos to Fuji for supporting their user base in such a manner.

Bill, if the bulk of your shooting would be telephoto, I think the safest choice right now is m43. There is a nice lineup of native telephoto zooms and a couple of fast tele primes coming in the next months. Also consider the wealth of old manual telephotos (200-300mm range) that you can get for...
