I like the framing, but, consistent with my past experience, focusing of WA lenses on the X-E1 is painful. Most was done using zone focusing. This lens has excellent scales nicely engraved. A group of passengers had just arrived when they spied a tandem jump pair about to land. They all stopped to look and comment. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/DSCF2697fm.tif.html Their plane, a Cessna turboprop, required fuel, so the fuel truck arrived in short order. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/DSCF2704fm.tif.html The attendant had to stand on tiptoes to reach the tanks, but did her usual professional job with the fueling. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/DSCF2699fm.tif.html And, as I was leaving, the locally-based Vanderbilt Medical Center LifeFlight helicopter left on an assignment. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/DSCF2709fm.tif.html My conclusion is that the new Fuji 35mm AF lens would be a welcome addition. Comments and critiques welcomed. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
