If the weather forecast holds, after mid-week this, and companion blossoms, will likely conclude the season.

Adapted Voigtlander Nokton, probably ~ f/5.6

Detailed and delicate, just like the processing.

Very, very nice Bob. How do you like using a non-Fuji lens with the X-Pro2 ?

Thank you Lazlo,

Perhaps you might recall I used an early Nippon Kogaku (Nikkor) 50m f/1.2 sometime back but eventually sold it - soft and CA. I bought this for my D7200, where it performs well, and doubled up by getting a later adapter to use it with the X-Pro1 & 2. Specifically, with MF, focus peaking on the X-Pro2, and the flexibility of the FotoDiox Nik G adapter (the f-stop can be directly set on the lens, leaving nothing to guess, while focusing wide open then close the adapter down to the selected f-stop) I am quite pleased,

That said, the bottom line is the quality of the glass - my attempt to use as near Leica/Zeiss glass while avoiding the expense. Voigtlander and Zeiss (but not all Zeiss) are manufactured by Contax (same facility) in Japan....momentarily quells my lust for a Leica, which I will never own.

Others are fond of Pentax, Nikkor, Rokinon (Minolta), plus Yashica glass to name a few for using with Fuji. And of course any Leica glass.

Short answer - I enjoy using it but it requires patience and care which I sometimes find in short supply

I did a quick look in the FM Fuji Forum but didn't see anything aggregated for adapted glass.

Thanks Bob
I got a few old lenses as well, might try them out on the Fuji, but I think it is really hard to beat the quality of the latest X-system lenses

Yup, to me the XF23 f/1.4 and XF35 f/1.4 have superb IQ and exceed about everything within rea$on.

Ray sez it all Bob! Processing is great! Here in Mary-land we went from heat to freeze in 48 hours in November no less! It has been a wacky Fall here.
Great image!

I'm sure that snow yesterday put an end to the season for you. I like the detail and texture in the petals.
