M42 Fun
My adapter came ... this means new life for my Fuji EBC lenses.

50mm f1.4



100% crop


100% crop


The hardest part was getting the hang of focusing. W/no split screen I was lost in that tiny viewfinder until I turned the camera's "beep" back on and got the focus alert working.

1. That is a nice lens..
The full crop is very sharp where it is in focus, not too shabby for f1.4.

I'm getting an M42 300mm f4 Super Takumar in the next couple of days and I have my eye on an eight element M42 teleconverter I'm probably going to get.

Then I'll be able to shoot the birds out of the trees.. :)

2. Haha..
Careful with that thing.

I've got a few others I've yet to play with. That'll be my next zoo visit or some.

Great details. Looks like you've got some fun "toys" there.
