hi friends. I search a cheap prime or zoom lens for my xt100 fuji for shooting landscape details or trees or lighthouses in a seascape. Thank you!

i've a auto albinar 2.8 135mm but quality is not ok for landscape. Contrast is poor.
I want only focal 80 to 200mm because i use the fujii kit zoom for wide scenes

Asahi Pentax Super or Super-Multi-Coated TAKUMAR 135/3.5 have good contrast...as do the old Nikkors. Inexpensive too! Smile

Lloydy will likely recommend Tamron 135/2.5. Me too. Lol.

I did this comparison of some of the better known classic 70-210mm zooms.

http://www.groupoids.org.uk/photography/TamronVSvivitar/70-210mm.html

Best at the long end for more distant focus were: kiron zoomlock; tamron adaptall SP 52A. I should also mention one of the most versatile and best regarded telephoto zooms - the SP adaptall 60-300mm 23A.
Lots of choice amongst primes. There is a recent thread on 135mm. At 200mm consider pentax/takumars, Meyer Optik Gorlitz (= pentacon), Jupiter 21.
And here's a pic I took with a simple old tamron 200mm f6.3 that I acquired for the price of a beer.

SMC Pentax-M 75-150mm F4 pretty compact and light weight for a legacy zoom (partly because it doesn't go to 200, but you are shooting a apc-crop so it doesn't matter) Also it is very cheap.

Minolta MD and Canon nFD 75/150

Cosina Vivitar 6 v. 70/210 apochromatic


Any 85/1,8 or 85/2.


Any 135/2,8 or 135/3,5 or 135/4


You have billion lenses to see and try.

I have that same lens- converted it to Ai using the factory parts. This was an $800 lens when new. The performance of this lens is good enough that many professionals used it over primes in that range.

Yes dude! For 30 S is a super lens. I seeing this sample pics and it's almost like a modern zoom.
