[Leica] IMG: High Rise

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Hi Julian,

Thanks for looking and commenting.

I have only one Fuji lens, the 18-55, and it produces fine results.  If 
I need autofocus, it is my lens of choice.  I understand that the 35 is 
an excellent lens, but have no experience with it.

My RF lenses are limited to older LTM 35 and 50mm, and I have not used 
them enough to provide an opinion.  I am very pleased with the images 
produced by a couple of my R lenses, the 50 Summicron and the Telyt 
250.  For the past few months, the Summicron-R 50 has been my lens of 
choice.  Since I have found that I frequently set the Fuji lens at 55mm, 
the Summicron gives me an extra stop and closer focus.

I have had less success with focusing the 28 Elmarit-R.

I hope this helps.
