Fuji Showcase Leica 90mm Elmar Collapsible

[Lightmancer]

Taken with my X-E1; this is a compact travel lens with a useful f4.0 maximum aperture.

Nice photos, Bill. You captured the atmosphere really well with these photos.

Lots of details in the dark areas (especially in #1). Nice!

Nice set. I don't know how different the optical formula is, but I have a 90mm non-collapsible Elmar screw mount (early coated, 1946), and I love the way it renders on my E-M5. It's those very "details in the dark areas" mentioned by Peter that so recommends the older glass to me. The 90 Elmar, though, is special in my book.

Absolutely love the Churchill and Monty shot!

So what to you think that redhead with the fur was up to that she's being handcuffed?

The 90mm Elmar Collapsible isn't listed as being compatible with the fujifilm adapter. Does it still work properly? And more importantly, is there any risk of damaging the sensor when collapsed?

Cheers,
