I think we'd all love to see sample shots taken with your Fujinon 19mm. |

I posted a new thread for the 19mm Fujinon. Others feel free to join in and post their samples and/or comments. =) |

Inspired by the praise for the Fujinon 19/3.5 I hunted down a NOS EBC X-Fujinon SW 19/3.5
I haven't tried the lens yet but I'm extremely impressed by the build quality. The X-Fujinon is not as heavy and smooth as the Contax 18/4 but it's still very, very nice. The hood is metal and the front lens cap is the most massive I've seen in a lens ever, thick screw in aluminium.
I had become a bit sceptical about the build quality of the X-Fujinons since my 50/1.6 seems a bit flimsy. No worries though, it seems like the higher end lenses are very much top quality.
I'm fortunate enough to have a few high quality wide angle lenses to try out which will be interesting. When I get the time I will post comparisons between the Contax 18/4, X-Fujinon SW 19/3.5 and the Hexanon AR 21/2.8

Hi guys, I just stumbled upon a 55 f/1.6 Fujinon lens in DM mount and was wondering if it's possible to convert it to Canon? Thanks in advance!

The 1.6/55 is a good lens but I don't think it's worth butchering it, there are many other lenses just as good that will fit a canon.

I wish I'd never sold my Fujinon-TV 1.8/75, that was a great lens. Sadly the other two Fujinon-TV lenses I had were useless, they had tiny image circles (1.4/9mm and 1.4/14mm)

Please be so kind to post comparisons between the three SWA lenses that you own. I'm most interested to see the results. Thank you. |

Btw, have you noticed how few X-Fujinons there are on eBay right now? And no high-end lenses at all!

There are never many X-Fujinons on ebay, or M42 ones either, there are always plenty of the 2.2/55 and 1.9/50, and the 1.6/50 is fairly common, but apart from that, you see very few, the X-Fujinar 135mm comes along about one a week, but that's it, and I have been keeping my eye on them for a year or more. Mamiya-Sekor SLR lenses are the same, lots of the 1.7/50 and the 3.5/28 comes long one or two a week, but the others are seen very infrequently.
Very sadly, I missed out on a X-Fujinon 100mm yesterday, it only went for 22ukp. I was going to bid more than that on it but didn't get home in time to bid, very sad, doubt I will see another one for a while.

Thanks Walter for making my pictures show. That was my first post here. The best thing about using f1.2 is the bokeh. The lens is very soft at 1.2 but sharpens up a lot by 2.0.

Just to add that the Fuji M42 EBC T 135mm f3.5 and 200mm f4.5 are VG (can't say if they are the best in the world but I'm happy to use them on film) and a bonus is my copies also pass my minimum focus test as well.
