Fuji Minolta MD 35-70/3.5 Macro

The Minolta 35-70/3.5 macro is one of my favorite all time legacy lenses. I used it quite a lot when I shot with the NEX and it's proving very capable on the XE1 as well. It's a bit more cumbersome to use on the Fuji because of the lack of flip screen. Having to use the phone at eye level means the extra length of the lens unbalances the camera bit. It focus peaks pretty well and I am never let down by the images. I love the fact that there are two closeup settings on the lens (1:7 and 1:4) and I would even go so far as to say that it is prime sharp 35 thru 50.
