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

[Philippe]

What I had written : "using the wrong lenses for a fuji".

George L of the Ice would speak of systems, and Leica and fuji are definitely diffrent systems. Not much to add to that :-)

>> I used it extensively, and the images it created were more than good.
>> 
>> My ONLY dislike with the Fuji is the APS-C sized sensor.  I am a wide angle shooter.  The cropped sensor magnification drove me nuts.... paying a lot of money for lenses that produced ( on the XE-1) a non- wide angle  view was a no go for me.  I sold off the body and went Sony.

>> But this was a personal preference of the way I see.... not a comment against Fuji.

>> Hi Frank,
>> Food for thought in your message.  I played with Henning Wulff’s Sony for a bit and decided I didn’t want to
>> learn another complex menu system. Also, I have an inventory of Fuji equipment so if I go for an IBIS body it will
>> likely be the Fuji. I wish Doug good luck in finding a buyer for his Sony on the LUG - keeping it in the family so to speak.

>> IBIS changes your ability to hand hold.
>> 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.....
