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...

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...
