[Leica] Leica Lenses on Fuji X-H1 - FRANK

[Philippe]

Frank, you were using the wrong lenses for a fuji.

Have a look at this
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=fujifilm%20xf%2010-24mm&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ps

I have one, it offers OIS and AF, and is no slouch.

and that ;-)

Cherry on top, it is weather sealed …

Might be on my Santa list some day ;-)


Amities

Philippe

> A magnified focus ability ( I do not use the focus peaking function) gives the user the ability to focus correctly, even in low light.
> Leica glass is superb.... ( this past week I was blown away with the performance of the 38-70 R lens on my Sony A7rii, but M glass is as good.....)

> The combination is just beyond good.....
> Add the Techart M to Sony adapter for AF and Bob's your uncle......

> Now you still have a choice.... Sony (FF)?  Fuji ( APS-C)?

> Doug Herr is selling his modified A7rii, which was setup for using Leica glass on the Sony body.......hint hint.....
