[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I had gone for a photo walk a week ago to a street market inChennai, the city where I reside in India. I took a series of photographs, mainly street portraits, which are referenced below. I had with me an unusual accessory for my Fuji X100S - a sacrew on adapter, made by Fuji that converts the lens to a 50mm f2 lens from a 35mm f2 lens (in full frame terms, the camera actually has an APS-C sensor). I had been looking at the B&H used section some time ago, looking for a Fuji lens, when I stumbled upon this adapter, and purchased it om a whim. I was very happy with the results, and have just purchased another similar adapter, also made by Fuji themselves, which converts the lens into a 28mm f2 lens. This makes for a pretty ideal 28/35/50mm f2 walk around ultra lightweight set, which can be carried around in one's pocket. I have posted larger than normal jpgs, in case anyone wants to take a detailed look.
