Pity, DXO is my choice for fast editing and complements PS perfectly.

Would love to try and adapt some to my fuji, but I have no clue where to start.

Not for me, I love my d850 and I love my fuji. To me they are the nest combination.

I have decided to get a X-T20 as a second body next to my d850 because it is smaller, easy to carry around and I can use lots of vintage lenses on it. I am loving it. It is definitely not on par ...

Considering the price difference with the XF 35/2, maybe a start filter would have worked too? I used to have one in the old analog times.

I am on the fence between getting this one, the samsung fisheye or a irix 11 for my nikon (to adapt to fuji)

I feel like getting one and a fuji adapter now!

Great lens, the only Zeiss I even pre-oredered!

I use the sport version on d850 and I am very impressed. So far I have had better results with sloppy moving situations (mostly due to my lack technique and dark winter settings) but with spring ...

I understand, I have also the 35 and I am really happy. I complemented with several 50 among which my vintage favs are Yashica M 50/1.7, Nikkor AiS 50/1.2 and Meyer Optik Trioplan 50/2.9

An adapted Meyer-Optik 30/3.5, focus is via a tiny ring on the lens and aperture from an even smaller one. It is pretty sharp and renders pretty well with the occasional swirl depending on distance ...

yes, send them all to me ;-) jokes aside, no. Just blow possible first away from their mount and alike.

Taste is subjective and as such it cannot be generalised ion these terms. What you find distracting some like and appreciate, and vice versa.

I have been looking at the 27 for  along time but at the end I went in a different direction and I have no regrets ...

Well, kind of because it is not a fuji lens but a Meyer-Optik 30/2.5 Trioplan. I seem to have fallen in love with these oldies even more so since I have a Fuji. This is how it looks like (according ...

Never again! Except for safari and alike, it was just too heavy. But I admit the new one is a joy to use so I might bring it along sometimes.

Honestly does it matter? As long as we can take photos with something, not really.

Still, I cannot complain of my M42 version wide open. What I like is that the bokeh keeps being nice even stopped down. Wide open :-) about f/4 (slightly cropped)

mmmm another lens in there shipping list now ... damn!

I cna confirm that the m42 is somewhat soft and glowing at f/2, sharpens quite a bit already at f/2.8 and is razor sharp at f/4.
