... without a close-up lens or converter.


We all know that the Leica Summicron-R 2/50 (which I am selling! Anybody interested?) produces amazing photos on almost any cam.

Fuij X-T1


And the DoF can be very thin - even on an APS sensor:


A minute ago, when I was walking through our garden with the Cron 50 mounted on the X-T1, I saw some bees buzzing around the flowers of our cherryplum tree.

This is what came out, just with that manual focus standard lens on the Fuji - without a close-up lens:






(In this one the bee flew away a little too fast. Wink)

I am pretty astouned about what was possible with just that combo.

Great lens it seems - but if it is so great, why are you selling it then???

One of the best lens ever and one of the best sensor . It cannot go wrong.

First because it was perfect on the 5D, it's a bit too big for the X-T1 for my taste at least.
And since my 5D is gone, I haven't used it really.
Second it helps me to pay for the X-T1 advance payment. Wink

You know, I normally only buy new things with money I got from selling older items.
This time I first have bought the new cam and now I need to sell other things.

This is my way to control GAS. Laughing
