You might have seen my previous post which talked about Fuji’s M42 lenses on Fuji X series, I’ll freely admit I’ve become a bit obsessed with the subject. Here’s another hundred words on Fujinon Lenses:

A wonderful collection of lenses and cameras circa 1972 from the ST-901 brochure.
I’ve taken a few good shots on the Fujinon•T EBC 135mm ƒ3.5 I picked up last week. A wonderful lens Fuji produced in the 70’s. Terrific build quality, stunning glass.
I’ve always been partial to Fuji lenses, grew up using my dad’s ST-801 when I was younger. I didn’t even know that interchangeable lenses existed back then. That camera had a 55mm ƒ1.8… that’s all I knew the quality was amazing. The first 35mm film camera I ever used AND it still works, I’ve recently picked up two lenses from the series. Can’t wait to get them on the ‘real’ full frame camera, which is out on loan. Anyway- the X-E1 will do for today.
