[Leica] Leica r sm m glass on Fuji x

[Mark Kronquist]

I have been delighted with the performance of my film era glass on my stack of Fuji x pros.  Obviously there are some challenges my 16mm zuiko was iffy (but the $120 7artisans is superb) the trombone focus 400 500 awkward but perform okay.  

Most zuikos good
Nikkors too
Rokkor x not so much

Do love adapt all 300. 17 etc

Part of my initial choice of the Fuji X system was its adaptability for my legacy lenses.  The digital Fuji and Zeiss optics that I've accumulated have been better or easily the equal of the best of my old glass so I've just drifted from dealing with them and the Fuji.... It's beyond my elementary understanding of light angles and how they strike the sensor that perhaps wasn't an issue with film but rears its head in the digital applications?  For some reason my old Contax G 45 and 90 are quite good on the Fuji bodies but I have found it easier to use new glass in those focal ranges anyway and tend to not use them either.
