UltraDan Posted October 14, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 14, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, I have a 50mm summicron on an m4 body for film and was looking to pickup a digital body and adapter to use the lens on, I’m looking at the Fuji xpro 1 as it’s available cheaply and the form factor looks similar to my M4. Has anybody used an xpro with Leica m lens’s and if so how did they find the experience ? I’m not overly concerned about image quality as to be honest all digital raw files are easy to manipulate/work with. Other than the xpro there is the Sony Alpha range. Any info on this topic would be great, I have read through the topics on here but wanted an up to date assessment of the idea. thanks ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted October 14, 2019 Share #2 Posted October 14, 2019 Different beasts. Sony alpha's are full frame but Fuji xpro1 is an APS-C camera so your Summicron would behave as a 50 x 1.5 = 70mm lens on it, as far as FoV is concerned at least.

UltraDan Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted October 14, 2019 Thanks, am aware of that, was just looking for any real world usage from xpro users. cheers dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted October 14, 2019 Share #4 Posted October 14, 2019 No xpro but X-E2 here. My Summicron 50/2 v4 and v5 work fine on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 50/2 apo works fine too. V4 was my second 'cron after v3 i sold stupidly in my youth, always regretted it so i decided to follow my grandma's advice to never sell a Leica lens. In fact i used v4 for 20+ years and i still like its small size and focus tab, especially on compact bodies like the CL, but i realized it flares more than v5 and the latter is 6-bit coded. Then came the apo. Almost perfect but also bigger and heavier. Result... Welcome, dear visitor!

TRIago Posted October 14, 2019 Share #10 Posted October 14, 2019 I have the V5 and works ok with the X Pro 1 (prefer to use it with M3 or M9 tho) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
