Nice but not as good resolution as the 50 f/3.5.<br />3. 35 mm f/2.8 shift-OM: great for architecture. <br />All in all, very satisfactory use of trusty old lenses.

They work ok on a 4/3rds cams, lots of color fringing tho. My first shots with the 100 F2 on X-E1 have looked promising, except it's so heavy with no-in cam IS like my Olympus EP-2. An Olympus shooter did extensive comparative tests with *all* the OM lenses (except 250 F2 and 350 F2.8) on 4/3rds cams and concluded that faster did not always equate better, IQ-wise. Like to see him do the same with an X-Trans cam and X-OM adapter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827990166426577116.post-39280858697015854262013-11-26T11:33:28.768+01:002013-11-26T11:33:28.768+01:00In order to focus the old manual OM lens you eith...In order to focus the old manual OM lens you either have to go by the distance- and DOF scale on the lens (although this is calculated for 35mm full frame sensor/film on the lens) or use the quickview switch between OVF and EVF to focus in the EVF and then switch back OVF for framing.<br /><br />It will work on the X-E1 as well but only in EVF as the X-E1 doesn't have an OVF.<br /><br />Yes, the X-Pro 1 and X-E1 got focus peaking support in the latest FW.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220833661301271893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827990166426577116.post-28470714123261338882013-11-25T14:35:30.202+01:002013-11-25T14:35:30.202+01:00Hi Hamburger Cam,

I have the Kipon adapter for Mamiya to Nikon, and got some interesting pics. <br />I also have the 30+ years old MF OM Zuiko lenses, 24mm 2.8 / 50mm 1.4/ 135 2.8. I was thinking about a leitax mount conversion to use it on my Nikon, but have been put off through the hassle.<br />I am intending on getting a x100s, but I am also interested now in trying to get a x-pro1 or x-e1. <br />So with the converter:<br />- is it possible to also use both the OVF and EVF for focussing?<br />- will it work on the x-e1 as well?<br />- has there been some focus peaking supported update on either of the two Fuji's lately?<br />Regards,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827990166426577116.post-87086909338863254002013-09-03T12:02:37.357+02:002013-09-03T12:02:37.357+02:00The Olympus 28mm lens will behave almost like a Fu...The Olympus 28mm lens will behave almost like a Fuji 27mm lens in terms of angle of view. You will still have to account for the crop facttor of 1.5 due to the smaller APS-C sensor compared to full frame sensors.<br /><br />So the Olympus 28mm will show an angle of view comparable to a 42mm lens on a full frame sensor (ans around 40mm for the Fuji 27mm lens).<br /><br />If you want a full frame lens on the Fuji X camera to behave like it does on a FF sensor, you will have to look at something like the Metabone Speed Booster. This adapter will make use of the full image circle magnified onto the smaller sensor. You will get the FF field of view and similar DOF to a FF sensor camera.Fuji X-Files Administratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04580089419208009045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827990166426577116.post-7509947644795446542013-09-01T14:48:16.307+02:002013-09-01T14:48:16.307+02:00So, a old olympus lens 28 mm stays 28 mm on the fu...So, a old olympus lens 28 mm stays 28 mm on the fuji x pro ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827990166426577116.post-40213759614746395002013-06-26T01:14:46.623+02:002013-06-26T01:14:46.623+02:00Yeah, can't wait for FW 3.0 :)

I usually take the photo in the standard Provia (color) mode with the X-Pro 1. Then I import the photos into LightRoom 4 and try out one of the B&W presets in th LightRoom preview. The one that comes closest to the contrast that I like to see in my B&W images is my startingpoint. Then I usually tweak a bit more to get the result that I like.Fuji X-Files Administratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04580089419208009045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827990166426577116.post-3324944206686635082013-01-14T13:17:31.576+01:002013-01-14T13:17:31.576+01:00I hope you enjoy the adapter for the OM lenses as ...I hope you enjoy the adapter for the OM lenses as much as I do :)Fuji X-Files Administratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04580089419208009045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827990166426577116.post-13851950795786334892013-01-14T13:16:53.641+01:002013-01-14T13:16:53.641+01:00Yes, those lenses are maual focus to begin with.
