Technically you should be able to do it, because it's not the iPad that supports the camera output. The whole trick here is the capture device, which in this case I'm using an Elgato Cam Link 4K, which is compatible with the iPad and the Elgato app. Check on the capture device you are planning to use and if it's compatible with an iPad, you should be good to go

​@@pietrozuco Thank you bud.

It depends which lenses you have. Pentax developed several mount systems, M37, M42, K-Mount to name a few I remember and I think there are more. Once you know the mount system used by the lens, then check if there's an adapter for them and the camera you have. In my case my vintage lens was a M42, but yours might be different.

@@pietrozuco No matter, they all have fungus. I shut my studio down in 2004 to take a job on a research vessel for 15 years. The system was in its case but stored improperly. I am retired now and only recently got curious on how the lenses could be used. 20 plus years of neglect ruined them. 55, 105,165 and 300. Trashed.

To adapt your Pentax K-mount (PK) lenses to the Fuji STX-2 with its X-FUJINON mount (also known as the Fuji X bayonet mount), you will need an adapter specifically designed to convert Pentax K-mount lenses to the Fuji X-FUJINON mount. Look for an adapter labeled something like "Pentax K (PK) to Fuji X-FUJINON adapter" or "PK to FX adapter." These adapters are passive, so there will be no electronic communication between the lens and the camera, meaning you will need to use manual focus and control aperture directly on the lens. Before purchasing, double-check the compatibility of the adapter with both your Fuji STX-2 and your Pentax lenses to ensure proper fit and functionality.

I never had any issues with the Trilens. As long as the lenses have no defects and they are properly fixed, the Trilens has been very solid for me. I used it in concerts with many people around and other scenarios where I was moving a lot and never had an issue. You have to be careful though when you move close to some obstacles, as the whole set will be quite bulky increasing the chances of bumping it into a chair, door, people and so forth. One more risky scenario is when you change the lens, it might drop from your hand if done too fast.

agree, personally I prefer to carry only three so it makes it easier to switch them, but yeah, 4 in total :)

lol

Hard to say depending of what kind of street photography you plan to do. In my case, I feel very self aware getting close to strangers to snap a photo and most of the time they notice it :) This lens allows me to keep a certain distance, to observe more without feeling that I'm entering other's people personal space. It's a very specific lens, but I had very good results with it. I also used it for portraits, it's excellent for that and for concerts where I needed a bright tele lens. You can also use the camera app and control it from your phone to take pictures without being noticed. I'm making a video about that.

@@pietrozuco I will look forward to watching the video on the app. I’ve tried the same with a GRii / GR app!

Thank you, agree it's quite loud. Sorry about that

Agree, it's a shame that everything is going into that subscription model

Thank you, that's correct, 60 slowed down to 30

Agree it's an amazing lens. I used it for a couple of concerts as well and it was great. Agree even if it's not directly marketed as a macro lens, it does a very good job at it

Really? why do you think so? I would like to know your view on this

@@pietrozuco Perche io o un Pancake Della TstArtisan Che e Della stessa qualitá. Non dico piu meglio. Pero questo Della TstArtisan la posso mettere anche su una XT50 con il nuovo Sensore da 40.2 MP. E se funziona Con un Sensore Cosi potente allora non puo essere Male. Il Motorino AF non Si sente quasi in confronto del Fuji, e POI Costa 150€ da Amazon. Ed e tutto in Metallo. Penso propio Che e un buon Affare. 27mm / f2.8

Grazie. Non molto tempo fa ho fatto una review di un 25mm TTArtisan, manual focus. Bellissima lente, tutta in metallo. Magari faccio un video per comparare tutte e due le lenti, infatti il prezzo è molto più competitivo. L'unica cosa che mi mancherebbe con il TTArtisan, è il weather resistant, che abitando in Inghilterra diventa una necessità :D

Grazie Pietro. CE anche quello Autofocus Della TstArtisan Pietro! Provalo anche von la XT50 sarai meravigliato. Weather Proof Pero non CE ne Sono Tante. E Si il Tempo Inglese e come quello qui da me in Germania: schifoso

yeah so far since I got it, I'm using it more than any other lens! I might sell some :D

Indeed, I've been having a lot of fun with this lens

Thank you! As long as you love the 23mm f/1.4 that's justification enough :) The lack of a second slot for the X100VI was a bit disappointing when I read the specs the first time. It would make me nervous too if using professionally. In another video I reviewed the 23mm f/2 some people commented that it has some issues with sharpness at close range. I wonder if you experienced something similar with the 23mm f/1.4?

@@pietrozuco The Sigma 23mm F/1.4 is tack sharp at minimum focus distance, it is probably the sharpest lens I own

Thanks for sharing. That's a nice selection of lenses you have there. So far I'm still enjoying it, but I'm still new to this lens, time will tell. I had the 35mm f/2 and it was really nice, I would love to get the 35mm f/1.4 you mentioned. A bit bigger than the pancake but I think it's worth it. The 56mm is in my list! :)

@@pietrozuco The 35mm F/1.4 has flaws, but to quote me and everyone else, it is special :) I preferred the Sigma 56mm to the original fuji 56mm and am really happy with it. The New Fuji is great, but it is not £500 better than the sigma, the sigma is 95% there in my opinion for half the cost. If you get the chance to test them, I'd recommend it

That's a good idea, with the XT50 it would be similar to have a X100VI

Thank you! It's a 40.5mm filter from K&F. amzn.to/3yDfILv

Nice, I think we have the same lens haha! I have a very old Pentax 40mm f/2.8 pancake lens. I'm using it with an adapter. Unfortunately the lens has some fungus inside. I'm planning to clean it in a future video. It's a beautiful lens!

I had to wait about one month to get it. The X100F is a great camera, I'm sure you will have fun with it!

@@pietrozuco Loving it so far! my only major gripe with it is not being able to store my WB shift in recipes or even renaming recipes

That would be ideal. I tried the TTArtisans 25mm, MF thought, and it was great, but then decided to get the 27mm, atm I'm having more fun with it. I'm not sure about the 18mm though, a bit too wide for street photography I guess, but I can imagine it's ideal for travelling and capturing a bit of everything. I would love to see some 7Artisans or TTArtisans to make some AF lenses for FX!

@@pietrozuco Yes 25mm from TTartisan has good reputation, yet I'd love it being AF! TTartisan've done it already with 27mm f2,8 - it IS AF lens it is just a little bigger that Fuji's 27 and some saying the image has more character than original Fuji but it is not technically perfect (what is? lol) and not WR. And it is still 2,8.

Interesting no idea they started. That's good news. I have a Viltrox 13mm and the AF is great on it. I hope the other ones catchup and start offering AF soon

I‘ve got the TT Artisan 27mm f2.8 AF on my X-T30ii. It is great, especially for that price. 👌

hahaha! Well the latest GFX 100II is amazing. I tried it in the shop and it was great!

😅

Interesting, I don't know, but now I'm curious to check that. I assumed it's correct, I didn't read any complains online from people using it. Unfortunately, I don't have the lens anymore, I had to sell it

Thank you! Unfortunately I don't have a 40mpx Fujifilm camera :( I would love to get the X-T5 as a backup mostly for photography only

Thanks! I recently got the Fujifilm 27mm, I'm making a review atm. It would be interesting to review them

Thank you! Exactly that’s it! a lens to have fun with :)

Agree, the quality is worse than one of the first cheap cell phones. I had fun with it though, as a toy lens and being that thin, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything serious, it's just a funny lens :)

Yeah I think it’s been said that the purpose is to give you a disposable camera look for your interchangeable lens camera. Very lofi. Gotta be into the flaws.

Indeed the lens is not about the quality, as @thomp mentioned I think they want to give that disposable camera look. It's a cheap toy lens to have fun with :)

Thank you! I appreciate that!

Sure does

Thank you for your words! Agree they are all lovely lenses! I need to give it a try to the 16mm f1.4. I have a Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 which I'm planning to make a review. Really nice lens, I would love to compare it with the Fujifilm 16mm f1.4 you mentioned above. The Fuji one is WR, which is a plus

@@pietrozuco I tried the Viltrox 13mm and it’s a very nice Lens but the fuji 16mm is sharper

As long as the camera has an HDMI output, it should work. It's mostly independent of the camera. As long as you have something to capture that HDMI, like Elgato Cam Link: amzn.to/44bMSha

@@pietrozuco thank you

Good to know!

Thanks! Let's see in few months how it goes :)

@@pietrozucohopefully your growth is exponential cause I wanna see what you have to make for years to come 🫡

Also just a tip, the algorithm prioritises watch time (because the longer a viewer spends on TH-cam, the more time TH-cam has to advertise to them), so possibly starting a series of longer form content (like your photo recap video where you showed off your shots) might help your channels growth aswell as keeping these short formed videos. Either way though, I still like your vids and it’s your channel so you don’t have to change your style if it’s not what you want to express in your videos 😁 keep at it bro

Thanks for the support! What you are saying is totally right! I'm working on a video where I'm planning to share the strategy I'll planning to apply this year after watching hours of TH-cam advice and reading tons of articles. One of the topics is precisely starting with short videos, despite the need for a longer format to keep balance between time engaged and ads. Let's see if the strategy makes sense and work or if it's total nonsense haha! we will see :) Another video photo review video is coming soon!

Happy it helped!

Thanks! Glad that it helped!

Thank you for your words!! I got recently the 27mm f/2.8, working on a review atm, and I might end up loving the 27mm pancake more than the 23mm! haha!

Thank you! 😅

Thanks! Happy you liked it :)

Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful!

I'm glad you liked it!

Thank you. Agree the Meike is a really nice looking lens! very elegant. About focusing, I agree, the focus peaking gets in the way, I find it annoying, but my eyesight is not that good, even with the diopter adjustment control, it helps but it's not perfect, so I have trouble to see 100% sharp through the viewfinder and if I use the screen I need to switch to my reading glasses. Old people's life hahaha. The focus peaking helps in that regard. After using it for a while, I got used to where it's actually focusing, I'm just afraid it might easily change on firmware updates or using other cameras

@@pietrozuco Ah I see! My apologies, I didn’t take bad eyesight into account.

No worries, thanks. I wish camera makers took diopter adjustment control a bit more seriously. It only adjusts myopia but it doesn't take into account astigmatism for example. Anyway I can't complain, my case is not that bad. The positive side is that with those lenses, learning zone focusing can help a lot, specially in street photography

Legend! Thank you!! More content is coming! :)

Thank you! 😁

No, Fujis usually come with crop sensors already, so you're just doing the following calculation: 90mm APS-C * ~1.53 = 137.7mm Full Frame.

That's correct, the full frame equivalent, as per Fuji's website for the lens is 137mm. Take that into account if planning to use it on a full frame camera, from another manufacturer using a lens converter.

Thank you!

Really? I didn't have issues taking close portraits, but to be honest, I didn't try it close to objects either. I'll give it a try, thanks for the suggestion

It's a known problem. Soft at close focus wide open. Except that it's a very good lens. I hope they make mk II with that problem fixed.

Agree that would be great. What about the XF27mmF2.8 R WR? it's very similar, except for the f2.8 of course. I think they are out of stock, but I would love to give it a try and see how different the experience would be compared with the 23mm f/2

Had the 100vi, it broke... worst thing ever. Now Ive bought the XT-50 and am going down the lens rabbit hole...

Hey indeed, long time no see! I decided to move from Nikon to Fuji, I needed to update my Nikon equipment and took the risk to go all the way with Fujifilm and so far I don't regret it. I'm really happy with Fujifilm. I still love Nikon and the reliability, which is a system I would consider for other scenarios, but so far, for what I need, Fujifilm is working great and the latest X-H2S is a fantastic camera. I love those Takumar lenses, maybe there's a method to restore the yellowish in your lens, but anyway, that aging, I think it's part of the charm :)

Thank you for the clarification! I'll update the video description :)

Since 1999 that's a long time! I moved there in 2000 and spent the best 10 years of my life. Agree this lens gives very nice warm results, I'm too lazy to put the adapter and take it out, I should do it more often. Yoroshiku :)

Thanks! More to come! :)
