3 AMAZING Vintage Lens for Fujifilm! (Under $100!)

[@matthewryan9935]

Thank you for explaining why I can't find a wide-angle vintage lens! I have been wondering!

[@kennethmitchell2478]

Man. I have the same takumar 3.5 on my xpro2 and I love it. There’s nothing that lens can’t do. It’s glued to my camera 95% of the time. Only to be briefly replaced by a canon 100mm 2.8.

[@therealchickentender]

Good stuff, man. The 35/3.5 Super-Tak is something special. Micro-contrast for days. Have used it for years, digital and film. 100% Between Takumars and Hexanon, there's really little-to-no reason to look elsewhere or spend more money. Nikkors are great but they still have a modern rep and that makes them catch popularity fire much more easily. For 50s (or even 55mm or 57mm) ... really, *ALL* of the fast-fifty manual lenses from all the makers are fantastic; Nikkor, Pentax, Takumar, Rokkor, Hexanon etc etc. They're all incredible almost without exception. But my biggest suggestion (to others, clearly not to you lol) is look into Hexanons and Takumars.

[@EJKelly]

Hey, glad I found you. What adapter can you recommend for Fuji xt3? M 42?

Great lenses, the nikkor 50mm 1.8 is my favourite lens ever! If you ever find the nikkor 20mm 3.5 please try it out, I think you might love it, it would really fit your style! Take care!

I love the tamron i always change the adaptall to fd or om and use adapters

[@Dionne_Sheree]

Great review and beautiful shots! Thank you!

[@ftk-alt]

i would recommend the minolta NMD (MD III) 50 1.4 on fuji. trust me you will love the color and sharpness. its also not very huge. in fact its one of the smallest size 50mm out there (49mm filter). i use it on my xt10 and i love the outcome each time i shoot, especially night potraits another quite budget 24mm i got was the minolta NMD (MDIII) 24 2.8 as well. works great on my XT10

[@masakiejji]

What adapter you use?

[@PaulStrople]

I had the MND Rokkor 24mm f/2.8 for awhile. I sold it, and that was a big mistake.

[@JoshuAhillyarD89]

While I mostly use my native fuji lenses I do enjoy using my helios 44m and Super-Takumar 135mm f3.5. I'm actually looking at a couple of takumar lenses and Minolta lenses. Vintage lenses are fun and still, surprisingly hold up well.

[@mixedimagearts]

Man, again a beautiful video. Thanks so much for such quality content. Love it.

[@olawalesanni2872]

My pleasure Onur!

[@GonzoTheRosarian]

One of my favorite lenses of all time is the 24 mm f2.8 Nikkor (Nikon F Mount) oldie but goodie, sooo sharp and amazing color rendition

[@petercordingley927]

I'm so glad your video came up on my suggested feed, I also use Fujifilm X trans cameras and have both the Nikon and M42 convertors. I have the Fuji primes 16, 23, 27, 35 and 50, but also have a lot of vintage and third party lenses. They all have their own qualities and I need to use them more often, I will subscribe and follow from across the pond in the UK

[@gerryhardman9060]

I really like the 35 mm Takumars as well. I chose the F2 version only because it’s kind of soft and dreaming at F2, which is what I wanted. It’s nice to have two lenses in one. You can use as well as it sharpens up by 2.8. It’s more money but certainly worth the cost. The 50 1.8 is an excellent choice as I used that lens for shooting weddings. Thanks for sharing your thoughts regards, Gerry.

[@David_Quinn1995]

I have been playing with M42 lenses lately and I have had some older EF mount canon lenses for years when my grandfather handed down his EOS Rebel to me.

[@donvittoriosierra]

Are these particular takumars radioactive?

[@fechur]

what adapter you used for the 50mm nikon to your fujifilm x

I would love to know as well

[@metixempirecinema6804]

[@MarkHoltze]

Hell yes! Great video dude!

[@Being_Joe]

I have the Nikon and it is a beautiful lens. I will have to look into the Tamron.

[@throtol]

I too am a big fan of the Super-Takumar 35mm f3.5. I rarely find a need to shoot above f4. My preferred range is 50mm and I would like to suggest vintage Cosina lenses. Cosina, as you may know, does a lot of manufacturing for other companies including Zeiss and Voigtlander. I just picked up a 50mm f1.7 M42 Cosina lens for about $45 which is a well-made piece of metal and glass.

[@mgman6000]

Where have you been? I just discovered you and subbed My favorite vintage lens for my XT 20 is a 28mm f2.5 Minolta rokkor it's sharp and has those Minolta colors I bought a near mint one for $75

[@vahidbehrouzian1060]

great video. thanks. is this lenses needs convertor?

[@olawalesanni2872]

Yeah they all do 😊

[@aucourant9998]

I love vintage lenses which I use on my XT2. I've got the Pentax 50mm f1.7 (my favourite, so sharp), a mint Minolta 58mm f1.4 (equivalent 87mm f2.2 on my XT2) , a Pentax M 50mm f1.4 macro, and the Konica Hexanon AR 40mm F1.8 Pancake (beautiful colours).

[@aziatik]

Hi can you use the pentax on the fuji xt2?

[@aucourant9998]

@@aziatik Yes, but you need a Pentax to Fuji X adapter. For example, for the Pentax 50mm f1.7 you need a PK-FX adapter. Remember you will only have manual focus, but you can use the focus highlight facility on the Fuji camera to quickly find focus.

[@wretchedworm]

[@jordanjoestar8839]

As far as a 50mm I prefer the Olympus Zuiko series in the 1.4, the 1.4 is a bit soft wide open but very dreamy, stopped down even at F2 it is laser sharp! I use the G Zuiko radioactive early edition and wow they are killer. However, sometimes their price dictates such, even though they are still affordable!
