I feel bit like a spy &#8211; Wait don&#8217;t call the RCMP just yet !. What ever you do &#8211; Don&#8217;t call me Igor Gouzenko. It is actually just my camera gear I am using &#8211; a couple of Russian camera lenses on my Fujifilm X-Pro1 and X-E1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Yes, Fuji does make some really awesome lenses for their X-Series cameras including the ones that I own; Fujinon XF 14mm f\/2.8 R, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f\/2.8-4 OIS, Fujifilm Fujinon XF 35mm f\/1.4 R Super EBC, and the XF 55\u2013200 mm f\/3.5\u20134.8.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">For this trip, I am going nostalgic. I grew up in Ottawa, and lived there for many years. This short visit is also somewhat nostalgic, in that I am vising many of my old favorite places. Back when I lived here, I used manual focus lenses (autofucus was still in its infancy), so going manual focus for this trip isn&#8217;t out of line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">So &#8211; on my Fuji X-Pro, and Fuji X-E1 I have a L39-FX adapter for the Industar 55mm f\/2.8 N-61 lens, and a M42-FX adapter for the Industar 50-2 f\/3.5 50mm, and Helios-44-2 58 f\/2.0 lens. Oh &#8211; I know what you are thinking &#8211; Why not stick with the Awesome Fuji lenses ! &#8211; They are small, light and Autofocus !.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">The old Russian lenses are fun to play with, they are cheap, and they are not optically perfect. There are imperfections in the glass that give the lenses a unique look. It is also so much fun to just play ;&gt;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/steveschwarz.com\/?attachment_id=4262\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4262\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4262\" src=\"https:\/\/steveschwarz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSCF5375.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF5375\">Industar 50-2 f\/3.5 on Fujifilm X-E1<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/steveschwarz.com\/?attachment_id=4261\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4261\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4261\" src=\"https:\/\/steveschwarz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/SHSA5440.jpg\" alt=\"SHSA5440\">Industar 55mm f\/2.8 on Fujifilm X-Pro1<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/steveschwarz.com\/?attachment_id=4260\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4260\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4260\" src=\"https:\/\/steveschwarz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/SHSA5444.jpg\" alt=\"SHSA5444\">Industar 55mm f\/2.8 on Fujifilm X-Pro1<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/steveschwarz.com\/?attachment_id=4259\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4259\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4259\" src=\"https:\/\/steveschwarz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSCF5378.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF5378\">Industar 50-2 f\/3.5, on Fujifilm X-E1<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/steveschwarz.com\/?attachment_id=4258\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4258\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4258\" src=\"https:\/\/steveschwarz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSCF5382.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF5382\">Industar 50-2 f\/3.5 on Fujifilm X-E1<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/steveschwarz.com\/?attachment_id=4257\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4257\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4257\" src=\"https:\/\/steveschwarz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSCF5384.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF5384\">Industar 50-2 f\/3.5 on Fujifilm X-E1<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/steveschwarz.com\/?attachment_id=4256\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4256\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4256\" src=\"https:\/\/steveschwarz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSCF5390.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF5390\">Industar 50-2 f\/3.5 on Fujifilm X-E1<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/steveschwarz.com\/?attachment_id=4255\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4255\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4255\" src=\"https:\/\/steveschwarz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/SHSA5454.jpg\" alt=\"SHSA5454\">Industar 55mm f\/2.8 on Fujifilm X-Pro1<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I am visiting Ottawa for a couple of days.
