Dear all,
I have a Fuji X-E1 with an 18-55 and a 55-200 zoom. Like it a lot, despite the X-trans controversy. The X-E1 with 18-55 is my travel companion (general purpose). With the 55-200 (details in landscape or architecture, maybe portraits) it is my play-experiment set when I'm alone or with a photography friend.
Then, there is also my Fuji X100, planned to be my "always with me" camera, main purpose: learn and experiment. Should replace my Canon S95 (insofar as a camera phone does not do that already).
I am eagerly awaiting the new (+reviews) Fuji 10-24 zoom. That should more than cover the basics.
And maybe there is some room for play ;-) I would like to be prepared, because finding the gems might take some time.
I am thinking of the announced new Fuji 56 mm 1.2, because of the small DOF. Then again, a Speedbooster might also do some tricks. But with which lens?
I have some lenses left from my Canon days: the Zeiss 35/2 and the 50/2 MP plus the Canon 40 pancake. However, if I can not set the aperture on these trough an adapter, they are not of much use. So how does this work with M or e.g. Nikon mounts?
Looking at Leica lenses (some of you seem to think they are great :-) ).... well, to say I'm puzzled is an understatement. So many different versions, some variations over many years, some quite affordable, some ridiculously expensive. Please talk me trough (a few of) these.
And maybe there are other options as well. Could you put some of the available options in categories: should be interesting because ...? The sharpest/dreamiest/micro-contrastiest/best for portraits/but what about macro/....whatever.
And of course feel free to point me to interesting resources.
Thanks a lot,
Karel
