Re: Fuji XE-1 and what lens...?
So last week my Fuji XE1 and Voigtlander nokton 40mm 1.4 arrived. The K&F concept M to X mount adaptor followed the next day. The nekton is a tiny lens with great aperture ring and smooth focusing. However, at first I was not very impressed with the lens and the focus peeking were not that accurate. However I've been shooting this great little combo all weekend and I'm slowly getting use to the manual focusing. I am finding that I prefer to use the 3x zoom option, over the focus peeking, to nail the focus. And I'm very happy with the results. The nekton is quite soft at 1.4 but by f2 it is very usable and produces good centre sharpness and lovely bokeh.
I am very happy with this camera setup. the fuji XE1 is a joy to use. It does take some time to get use to the EVF and menu system. And the batteries don't last very long (which is common in mirrorless camera systems), so I'm already thinking of picking up a few more spare ones.
