[Leica] Nathan's PAD 5/8/2022: testing my new Fotodiox adapter

[Nathan Wajsman]

One of the reasons I recently bought into the Olympus OM system was because of the reputation of the lenses. I have a 28mm, 50mm, 85mm and 35-70mm Zuiko lenses now. I very much like the results I see on film, but I also wanted to try those lenses on my Fuji X cameras. So I just got a Fotodiox adapter to do just that. I was especially interested in trying the f2/85mm on the Fuji, and I was not disappointed. My percentage of accurate focus was 100%, and I am really pleased with these results. Here are 3 samples, to which no further sharpening or other unnatural acts have been applied.

I know this is a bit sacrilegious, but this 85mm Zuiko lens is fully on par with any Leica lens in that type of focal length that I have ever used. Please do not start a religious war, my camera bag is a broad tent.

Cheers,
Nathan
