I am having fun with vintage film SLR lenses, which are readily adaptable to my FujiFilm X-E2. I love the photos so far. The softness due\u2014I presume\u2014to imperfections in the lens give the photographs a nostalgic and almost dreamy feel to them. I especially love them when coupled to Fuji’s color science. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These lenses are really reinvigorating my interest in photography. I’ve pursed the hobby in some capacity for a decade, but I have never had the budget to build a diverse lens set. These vintage lenses were cheap though! I’m excited for the opportunity to explore photography again at lots of different focal lengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few examples! I have more to explore but for now I’m using two Vivitar lenses\u2014a 135 mm f2.8 and a 50 mm f1.7. These work out to about 205 mm and 76 mm equivalent on the cropped sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
