Dear Christopher,
Not the news of using the lenses, but a good news of good lenses .
I feel charmed by the idea of a 1.4 f
That has always been a dream to me .Something to look forward too.
I must say that I also have struggled with going from analoge to digital (I
still use the Leica with BW film!!), but I am also convinced -at least I do
not see it- of the good quality of the Fuji...
Actually I rented this camera doing Erna's photosession and decided to buy
it (the same camera)...
Portraitlenses are important!!
Yours sincerely
Linda

More knowledgeable members will correct me if I am wrong but I do not
believe it is possible to make good use of Leica R lenses on Nikon
mount cameras - which is a great shame because I have gone back to
Nikon for digitial. I am using a couple of the new Zeiss Nikon mount
lenses - I have to say I am very pleased with them and its likely they
will be basis of my way forward with a full frame Nikon DSLR. I am
anticiapting the R10 to be delayed, expensive and not totally
compatible with R lenses. I am still using film with my Leica kit but
I am having to adjust my film work flow as the local processors are
getting unreliable. I am not sure how long I will keep it up but its
the only way I can use my Leica kit at the moment.
As to comparing pictures of Ema I see little difference between the
quailty of the two sets of online images. The S5 is an excellent
camera perfectly capable of matching the R cameras and you can get
some pretty good lenses for the Nikon based systems. Apart from the
Zeiss lenses I can recommend the new Nikon 60mm micro lens; it returns
excellent images, it is very versatile and inexpensive. It will make
a fine portrait lens on the S5. The new Voigtlander 58mm f1.4 Nokton
has had good reports and is again inexpensive - the f1.4 could be
useful for female portraits on the S5.

Dear members,
I have a Fuji S5 pro digital camera now.
I still use my Leica R3 and also the Leica CL/
Still I feel sad not knowing how to put the portrait lens Summicron 90 mm
to
the GFuji S5 pro body.
I still think the black and white negatives with R3 and Summicron 90 mm
are
the best....
Although with the eye ont large photos 25-38cm I saw no difference in the
series of Erna....
The series of Erna with Leica is on the gallery
http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Linda+Vermeiren/Erna/. The two bW's with
Leica CL (40mm) ; the colors with the R Summicron 90mm.
Alle the ones taken with the Fiju are the other photos of ERna
http://www.studiofotograaf.be/ (series "vrouwen" Erna)
I hope somebody might care to compare.

link
of "furnfeather' the solution.
Can you contact these Russian people..?
Yours sincerely
L.Vermeiren
