[Leica] IMG: One More from the Steinheil 85/2.8 Lens

[Peter Dzwig]

Jim,

I think my personal favourite is the fiest one you posted I think because of
depth of colour.

It's true about the old lenses working well with modern technology. When I first
got my X-Pro1 I put a Jupiter with an M adapter and the Fuji M coupler and was
amazed by what it would do in low light. I have also used most of my other LTMs
on Fuji's and they work well without exception.
