Hi again,
today, i want to show you samples, i took with my Sigma 150mm 1:2,8 APO MACRO DG HSM D
I adapted the lens via a Nikon G to FujiX adapter by Quenox to a Fuji Finepix X-E1. Really big lens, good to have a tripod mount delivered with the lens to protect the cameras bayonet from too much load .
First of all, I must say, that using a G-type lens at the X-E1 is possible, but a little bit tricky. That Quenox adapter, i used, was fitting well to lens and camera, but there were two problems:
First, the attached lens was positioned in a - let me say - '3 minutes past full hour' position on the camera, when looking from a models point of view. Thats no big problem - just not good looking:sad010:.
The second problem was much more important: the aperture ring by which you could open and close the diaphragm, was were loose. So, it was quite difficult to find the right position to close down the aperture for 1,2,3,... stops. It was possible, using the A-mode of the camera, watching the shutter time. For example, full open f2,8 at a 1/60 sec would be closed down to f5,6, means 2 stops, become 1/15 sec. Then you have to turn the aperture ring of the adapter until you see 1/15 sec in the viewfinder / on the screen.
But now, my pictures of supermodel 'Pink Heather', performing in the big clay flower pot down on the place in front of our house:
Full open at f2,8

All sooc jpeg, standard provia film simulation, ISO800, auto DR, use of a tripod.
Since I am not Ken the Rock, and well , let me say, my family is not steadily growing, i appreciate your comments and hope that you liked the post :clap2:.

p.s.: Meanwhile, I have sent the Quenox adapter back. Don't know, what to do next... Must by another one... I'm open to suggestions.
