Why Shoot with VINTAGE Lenses on Fujifilm?

[@DimaYYY]

I've completely missed the part about the focus peaking feature in Fujifilm cameras. Working on it right now!

[@mistermatsuda]

I've been shooting vintage lenses on my cameras since 2005. They were dirt cheap back then. These days there are more and more people doing it so the prices have gone up significantly. I collected a few Minolta lenses and Takumars - I shot a Konica Minolta DSLR and a Minolta XD-11 film camera back then. I still shoot these lenses from time to time but on my Sony A7II and Fujifilm X-T20 cameras now days. Love it!

So here I am showing up 2 years later. It's because I'm suddenly all about wanting to adapt old vintage lenses. I JUST bought the Minolta lens you features in this video. It's coming from ...I forget where. But should be a total blast. Thanks for this video.

[@DimaYYY]

Hope you'll enjoy them

@@DimaYYY - just arrived today! Super fun. Now I'm just re-learning how to get faster at manual focus.

[@HumanIngenuity]

Love this! Does focus peaking (red lines indicating focus) work on adapted lenses?

[@DimaYYY]

Yep. I completely forgot to mention it. Thank you for pointing that out! I’ll talk about this feature in the upcoming video. :)

Awesome video Dima, well done.

[@DimaYYY]

Thank you for watching

I’ve used a couple of my older Pentax lenses on my XT3 but tend to rely on Auto Focus too much, don’t know why as it’s not great on Fuji cameras I’ve found, one of the reasons I’m hoping to change systems at some point

[@sophievautour8573]

Hi. Do you know what is the most compact adapter for fujix3? Is there such a thing

[@frankartale1026]

I had a 1956 exakta 10 blade 58 f2 biotar. Great lens but i sold it. I also have a 1981 canon 50mm 1.4 fd and a 1979 minolta 50mm 1.4 from the original owner. I had an Olympus 50mm 1.4 that had the most character and had a SAW blade effect with the 8 blade diaphram

[@DimaYYY]

Never had the one you mentioned from Olympus. Might try it one day :) thank you for your comment

Hi!I have a xe4 and I want to adapt some minolta af lenses I have. My question is how do you meter the light, I mean, there's no comunication with the camera, do you use an external lightmeter or app? You can only use it in M mode? No A, or S mode, and of course in auto?thanks!

[@DimaYYY]

For streets scenes I always shoot in M mode with adapted lenses. I choose preferable aperture(I’d say 4-5.6) and iso depending on the light conditions (bright sunny day or cloudy, rainy day etc.) and after I’d try to keep my shutter at 1/125 and faster. This is the general scenario. If there’s something more complicated like e.g. flash photography indoor and outdoor I’d use something like sekonic light meter. Just get one and it will save your life. Especially if you shoot on film or in a tough lighting conditions.
