<p>Fuji X-E2 w/AF DC-Nikkor 105/2D @ 'neutral' defocus...</p><div></div>

<p>Fuji X-E2 (has an EVF, i.e. electronic viewfinder) with a Fuji M-mount adapter and a LTM/LSM, RF-coupled, coated Nikkor-S.C 85/1.5 @ ISO 400 and f/1.5...</p> <p>(My thoughts and opinions of the Fuji X-X2 could belong in the "Mirrorless Digital Cameras" forum but I first thought of the "Leica and Rangefinder" forum as the photos were captured with LTM/LSM-compatible 'glass.')</p><div></div>

Fuji X-E2 with Leica Hektor 85/2, uncoated, un-RFcoupled without a diaphragm or Waterhouse stops... i.e. f/2.5<div></div>

<p>I suspect that the chrome "beauty" ring caused the circular reflection. I will coat the chrome with flat, black paint.</p><div></div>

<p>These photos were captured with a Fuji X-E2 using a 1930s uncoated, non-RF-coupled Hektor 85/2.5 projection lens.</p><div></div>

<p>Fuji X-E2 with uncoated, non-coupled LTM/LSM Hektor 85/2.5 projection lens, circa 'late 1930s.' ONLY 'Auto Tone,' i.e. AT, was used in post-processing.</p> <p>To me... AMAZING.</p><div></div>

A pre-WW2, uncoated, LTM/LSM Leica Hektor 85/2.5 projection lens that is neither rangefinder coupled nor does it have a diaphragm/Waterhouse stops. Leica M9 @ ISO 400, AE, repeated 'trial and error correction' fosusing.<div></div>

Leica M9 w/ Nikkor 85/1.5 @ f/1.5<div></div>

<p>The first is a VC Heliar 50/3.5; the second is an Elmar (Red Scale) 50/3.5.</p>

<p>Opinions?</p> <p>Votes?</p> <p>*****</p> <p>I can only hope this is fun for Leica afficiandoes. I will, of course, reveal which is which?</p> <p>Josiah</p>
