I love this lens which has taken me back to a... previous era of photography. I have it fitted with an adapter to either my Fuji XE-1 or XT-1 mirrorless camera. You have to do a bit more work with the manual focus, but the results can be very pleasing. (Also remember to dial in the focal length in the EXIF data). Focus peaking helps in both these cameras. It took a while to get the settings right but in the end changing either the ISO or the shutter speed usually got me in the right ball park. Then the composition - here with the fixed 50 mm prime I find myself moving around more to ensure that the image is correctly located and the background uncluttered - with my Canon gear and autofocus, I would have relied much more on post-processing. I'm delighted with this lens which feels sturdy, well-built and appears to have excellent glass. Some of the images I'm getting are very sharp.
