I picked up an adapter off of ebay. I don't know much about it other
than it cost 30 bucks, which was pretty cheap considering that it's
quite well made. My issue with these adapters is that there doesn't seem
much point to them if you can get a first party camera body to use your
lenses with rather than mounting them onto an adapter and effectively
turning them into a third party lens that doesn't work very well.
Hmm, point taken.
In truth, I would love the FX 14mm but can't spend the money right now.
I can afford a used EX-1 and I have the A*85/1.4 sitting in my bag. I
tend to use that lens wide open, so the X-E1 would seem to provide a
suitable platform on which to receive the photons.
You can stop them down if you need to, the camera works just fine.
Similarly, the 17/4 is a wacky, weird and wonderful lens (anyone here
ever used one? it is so much fun) and again, would find use on the X-E1.
Is that the scrw mount? If so, I have one sitting around somewhere. I
did a permanent mount of a k-mount adapter onto it, including notching
the lens body so that it would lock onto the camera.
When I can afford the 14mm then I've got AF and all the delights that
brings. Matched up with an X100s, it would be a lovely combination of
hardware.
My Fuji kit, when I'm done will consist of the 14/2.8, the 35/1.4 (which
is what I bought into the system for), and the upcoming 56/1.2.
