I know you hate affiliate links but I wish you gave links to products so we knew for sure which version you were talking about
I came here specifically to hear if Ken says “SHARP AS PISS”.
Just bought an old Noct 58mm f1.2 to use on the GFX 100s. Amazing photos and full coverage. Thanks for the video.

28mm f/4 Nikkor perspective control

Haha, a 'GLADSTONE' doctors kit bag! Very cool and can be very expensive. My grandfather uprooted his entire family and moved to the US from the UK in the 60's for work as an aviation engineer. He used this EXACT bag to carry all of his drafting kit. He always called it his "Gladstone" bag and it was identical to this one. They can be worth as much £1000 in the UK. A London Antiques Dealers would ask a lot more than that. I inherited his Gerstner & Sons wooden chests but not his Gladstone bag unfortunately. I only recently discovered that the Gerstner chests were really quite sought after in the US (not the UK though). He was a man of good taste my grandfather.
Hi Ken. Thanks for your diligence on disseminating info reflecting your various facets of knowledge.
On the photography topic... do you have any updated recommendations on adapted lenses for Fujifilm Xmount in 2024?
Peace & Thanks
Hello Ken!1 Zeiss Distagon T* 35mm or Voigtlander 40 f1.2 to use for fuji? distagon is 200 dollars cheaper here.
I have/use both Voigtlander lenses and the Nikon 135mm on an X-Pro2. You preach the truth, Reverend!
REAL full grain leather. French rail bags and Swiss military bags 😘👌
Where can we view your photography Ken?
Hey Ken! Thanks for all the testing and information provided in your videos. I’d love to see a video about adapted Voigts on the GFX. Things like coverage, rendering etc Most crotchmelting (thanks for adding to my english vocabulary ;) ) wide, normal and tele voights on the gfx. Pretty please :) And thanks for your work, both photo and magnetism. Cheers!
Hi Ken how is the Yashica Auto Yashinon 5.5cm f1.8 vs the 5cm f2.0 adapted to XT2, I can get both but I'm unsure which ones resolution, Sharpenss and bokeh is the best of the two. I know you said they are rare lenses but the deal is soon to expire and will sell for more. Thanks
Hey Ken! I was wondering since you seem boss on this subject. I have a bronica s2 that has been in the family for years and has much sentimental value to me. I was wondering Is there any way to adapt an old bronica s2 lens for the gfx system? I'm trying to adapt the lens myself due to the lack of information on the internet. If not maybe a point in the right direction? I thank you for anything you can give me at this point.
Take care of yourself and have a great day
Thanks so much for the awesome videos. Was wondering what you guys would recommend for an inexpensive 35mm or 24mm(28mm)? I see a lot of 50mm recommendations. But, would love to see some ideas for wider angles?
OH, I really hope that you can tell more about Minolta lenses. Love your rants and facts
Wow... that is a beautiful bag!
yes, its sexy......... even though it kinda looks like a purse ROFL
Theoria Apophasis hahahaha it does
I love your approach to reviews and photography. I read your ebook as well! Thanks sir
When I'm just taking a Fuji with me - I try to pick smaller lenses (and try to keep it to just one or two).
I'll typically pick one of:
Zeiss Ultron 50mm f/1.8
Zeiss Biotar 58mm f/2.0
Topcon 58mm f/1.4 (pretty big - especially with the hood, but a great lens)
Schneider-Kreuznach Xenon 50/1.9
Voigtlander Ultron 50mm f/2 (prominent mount - was my grandpa's)
Leica collapsible Elmar 50mm f/3.5 or Summitar 50mm f/2 (able to put camera with lens into my pocket)
Leica Summarit 50mm f/1.5 - smaller than dslr fast lenses
Pentax 110 lenses - these lenses are tiny - I just throw them all in my pocket. (18, 24, 50, 70mm) They're ok-ish
Sometimes I'll take my Zeiss Distagon 35mm f/2 and Helios 40-2 85mm f/1.5 - but those lenses are pretty big / heavy, so I typically just keep them on my full frame dslrs.
Eikoh Hosoe used the Nikkor 55 1.2
It's not a purse dammit....it's a man bag! 😊😁
Xactly
Men don´t have bags.
If it swings like a purse slings like a purse its a purse.
Hi,
I have adapted the Nikkor 180mm f2.8 (bought on your recommendation ) to my Fujifilm X-H1 (also recently bought on your recommendation) and love the results! Do you know if the Fujifilm teleconverter would work with this adapted prime lens? Many thanks as always, much appreciated!
Is it really a huge jump if i change from full frame 5d mark iii into medium format mirrorless? I shoot a lot for billboard and advertisement just consider to buy phase one for commercial work but the price is near 4 times than fuji Gfx...please suggest me :) thank you mate!
FullandStarving Photography Get the fujifilm don't waste your time money on phase one like he said it's the same sensor
The Real Tech Geek thanks for your kind reply!
One step ahead to buy this fuji 50s... but this september 2018 at Photokina..Fuji will release gfx 50R, R means Range finder and it cost around $4000-$4200. Like the price shown about, they will cut some feature from 50s...
Are 50r worth to wait? Or just go with 50s :)
FullandStarving Photography Hello you welcome! Rangefinder are different that's not really good for commercial photography but i am not sure though from memory never heard him mention rangefinder medium format. Man that would be so awesome for street photography and hopefully faster autofocus and just get the gfx 50s such an amazing value
for $32,000 more youre getting 5% more. Other comparisons hit the same conclusions roughly as well.
Fuji DOES HAVE a rental dept,....thought about rending a GFX for a week? :)
Theoria Apophasis what a nice and makesense reply!
In my country, which is Indonesia... the GFX are still not available for rent. I can only go to the store and test the camera itself for couple minutes. But since there is no negative comment so far with the image quality and gfx lens...i consider to do an investment with the GFX :)
My two cents: the Pentax (Asahi) SMC 50mm F1.4. Nice bokeh, dreamy rendering, good enough sharpness for portraits, built like a tank. Is it excellent (compared with Fuji lenses)? No, not by a long shot. But it only costs 20$ (the adaptor was more expensive) so you still get a lot of bang for your buck.
I have 1 and I love it. Its a great lens with great character. The pentax smc 135 mm f3.5 is another good inexpensive one. The konica 55mm f1.8 is another awesome as well.
What beautiful leather bag!
Thoughts on the 35 Distagon F2 in 2018?
V 58mm 1.4 is main reason why i m getting x-t3 ...
"Silk, sex and sugar"....fk me...i do love you Ken. You're a true original.
Thanks for the video. Ive been trying to find a good adaptive telephoto or zoom lens for landscapes. 100-200, somewhere in there. Any recommendations?
hi i need to glue something on my old takumar can you recommend some glue or they all save? thanks
Trying to decide which voigtlander to get - 35mm f1.2 or the 40mm f1.2 - have you compared them to eachother or to the Zeiss biogon 35mm f2? I got the yashinon on your recommendation! Thanks so much! Waited ages on eBay for it!
I have both and that 40mm is MUCH sharper but balances better on smaller cameras. No matter which one you get you’re not losing cause they are both sharp and the rendering is gorgeous
Ken, how do you rate the Minolta MD Zoom 28-70 mm 1:3.5-4.8 ?
Ken, I am interested by the bag 😉
Hi maestro!! Do yoi have a recommendation to a great f5/6 40₪mm vintage prime for my x-t2?
Nikkor(?) 28mm 3.5 with perspective control
Yashinon 5cm (50mm) 2.0 (Also: th-cam.com/video/f5s4UdJXmHY/w-d-xo.htmlm46s)
Mitakon 35mm 0.95 (Also: th-cam.com/video/EAdKW205u4Q/w-d-xo.html)
Nikkor 55mm 1.2 non-ai version
Nikkor 10.5mm 1.8G AF-S DX
Nikkor 105mm 1.8 AIS (Fav. Lens: th-cam.com/video/kTJvqm4gJvo/w-d-xo.htmlm25s)
Voigtlander 58mm 1.4 Nokton (TOP Lens: th-cam.com/video/kreLtVPSNpE/w-d-xo.htmlm15s)
Voigtlander 40mm 1.2 Nokton (Leica M)
Also mentioned:
Mitakon 85mm
Auto Rokinon 55mm
What happened to your firewall?
This video was very helpful. Thanks Ken.
Great bag my father has one in black, please do write down that 35 mm, because I can’t hear well
The Zeiss-es 35DistagonF2; 85F1.4 and 100MacroF2 are good on Fuji but perfect on the Nikons (D800, D810, D850 ...) ?
Svt K
Is the distagon 35mm f2 good on fuji? Can't seem to get an answer anywhere about this combo.
No Zeiss lens?
What do you think about the 50mm f/1.7 auto Sears?
Have you used any of the Fujifilm AX mount manual film lenses adapted to X mount ?
I'm Fisheye lenses Tester, and u should say unfortunately Nikkor 10.5 is not the best out there, you should see the Samyang 8mm f3.5 for DSLR and 8mm f2.8 for mirrorless cameras, the Samyang is way much better than Nikkor.
@@bat-il9iu yes i had already, isnt the best, not because it's very cheap but it dosen't gives you the full image, only circule in the middel and the corner are black, so that why still Samyang 8mm the cheapst and the sharpst on the market
How do you feel about the 58mm on the d500? I only shoot portrait headshots and the d800 with an 85mm is my current go to. Without the benefits of autofocus, is there a reason to use it on the d500?
just grand on same
Theoria Apophasis ?? I don't understand.
I guess you forgot the Voigtlander 35mm 1.7 Ultron......🤔
cool looking bag. unique and vintage but yeah... it's a purse
Love your reviews, but I'm always hesitant to click because the cluttered background just gives me anxiety xD
Haven't tried the ultimate compact m-mount Minolta 40mm f2?
What is the lenshood you have on the 40mm? Voigtlander recommends the LH-8, but it seems you have a different one.
Why are they so expensive?😭
thts the metal voigtlander hood, costs a looot.....i got it free however ROFL
Haha... You bas...rd... Hahaha...
What is the reference for the hood, anyway?
I don't understand why they put a bayonet for the lenshood but don't supply any hood with the lens. And then, if you wanna buy the lenshood you have to sell one testicle...
Ken, and what about the Voigtländer 40mm 1.4? Is it worth? Is there a K & F concept adapter for it? Thanks!!
well yes, but it costs a LOOOOT
You mean the adapter, Ken, or just the 40mm f 1.4? And what about a wide angle lens? What do you reccomend?
Ken, is the adapter for the Voigtländer 40mm 1.4 this one? : www.ebay.com/itm/K-F-Concept-adapter-for-Leica-M-mount-lens-to-Fujifilm-X-Pro2-X-A2-X-E1-X-T1/282274789450?hash=item41b8e3784a:g:sMcAAOSwHMJYMCAB Thanks!!
I thought I was spending unreasonable cash on lenses that are barely suitable for my Sony, you've just x10ed me. Getting glass posted from Russia to UK isn't really happening at the moment.
I also have a giant purse that I had camera gear in for a while.
Hey Ken what do you think of the PC-Nikkor 35mm f/2.8?
i have that lens, its great too! often much cheaper to be found on ebay
Do you think Fuji has Tilt-Shift lenses in the development?
i know they are
Could you suggest a good adapted macro lens?
Thanks.
not really
Theoria Apophasis How about Tokina 100 f2.8, any good?
Has anyone used the meyer-optik-görlitz 95 mm f/2.6 trimagon or 100mm?
SMC Pentax m 100mm f4
Are the nikon E series still good?
best minolta to fuji x adapter??
What do you think of the Auto Topcor lenses, if you've tried any.
so damn hard to find :/
I'm treating this as "Best adapted lenses for Sony" 🙃
That is a cool bag - a portable lobotomy kit bag :)
Hello there ken. On your recommendation, i bought the 50mm 1.8 E series (Pancake) for adapting to the X-T2 as i could not find the Yashinon. The focus ring is very smooth indeed. Didn't it make to this list?
Newmann without hair- hello Jerry -
Have to put in an honorable mention for the Nikon 50mm Series "E".
Ken what is the Tilt / Shift lens you showed?
28mm PC
Anyone have the list for those 8 lenses? Thanks.
I thought you were gonna pull out a stethoscope...
So, is the Auto Sears 55mm 1.4 the same as the Auto Rikenon?
same lens yes
Theoria Apophasis Thank you sir
Did you ever tried some Minolta SR (MD/MC) lenses?
MisterManekk !
Itimonium I use a minolta 50 mm rocker f1.7 it ok
Ray Geary you should try to get an MD (I or II) 50mm 1.4 Version it's really worth the bit more money. But I was interested in the opinion of the AP :D
Itimonium he dont. Do minolta review
Ray Geary did he ever said why?
is it sharp?? 🦜🦜🦜🦜
Did you try the 50/1.5 Nokton M mount voigt?
i have yes
Super lens. I love it on my Canon rangefinder with film, or adapted to my Fujifilm X-T2. With focus peaking it's super accurate and easy to focus.
dude's got a purse!!!! :D
I heard the auto-sears / rokinon is the same as the mamiya/sekor (which I have) - great lens.
where is your zeiss distagon 35mm f2 ?
this is true!
can you adapt the voitlander 40mm 1.2 on the gfx?
oh yes, but i dont wanna buy a $200 adapter for one lens
w/ that adapter would it work in medium format or you'd have to shoot it in full frame mode?
@@KenTheoriaApophasis Can't we also use it for the voigtlander 58 f/1.4 ?
Hi Ken, if you have 500 lenses you probably have a few Rollei lenses, is it possible to attach the 6008 Rolleiflex series to a Fuji X-1? best regards Graham.
Presentation too scattered for me
This is the first time I heard you say you can adapt these lenses to the GFX...since, I'm considering getting the GFXR if its truly "affordable".....This seems like a perfect video topic while we wait with anticipation.
A best guess video of which lenses will work for the poor photographers who can only afford the affordable GFXR. You can test your skills by making educated guesses of which lenses for different uses. Portraits, street, landscape, building interiors and travel. Please consider this a desperate official request from a loyal fan. You should wear a king's robe and crown.
whats your question
Ken.. please don't fuck the lens. put the lens down now.
Put the damn phone on DO NOT DISTURB already. Don't be subject to losing sleep at just any ol' time whatsoever.
Looks like my body disposal kit bag
KILLER BAG.
A Man-Purse!
Hey, don't trash talk my murse!
Man
PURSE!
🌈😂🌈😂
I LOVE YOUR BAG. IT'S AMAZING.
Not a good image... Still follow more butchness required! UK!!
How about some lenses the rest of us can afford?
Dude got a purse!
I like your videos man. But i wish you would stop with the poor references. No poor person would be able to aquire the full GFX System at the rate you have. Or even have the need for the sheer hoarding of lenses.
its a man bag.
