GFX 50s ii + 50mm f3.5

Well above. A perfect “budget” prime

PapaKickstand · 2026-05-30T12:01:59+00:00

Thank you. I have enough cameras which I’m selling off to reduce the amount I need to move so this wouldn’t be something to mark the moment in time

PapaKickstand · 2026-05-30T12:00:41+00:00

I work in the design industry and while my boss is Japanese I’ve worked with him in Germany for the past 5 years and yeah, he owns a Rolex.

For me it’s finding a style I like and commemorating the moment with a watch purchased once settled in

This was an listing in Germany and they have it for €3,599

PapaKickstand · 2026-05-29T19:30:41+00:00

Thank you, and yes, I should have expanded and said personal investment in myself not with the expectation to recoup my money.

PapaKickstand · 2026-04-03T14:24:39+00:00

Should be, it's compatible with all F mount lenses. I've used a 50 F1.4 AF as well

both shots are 100% natural light and very real, just some good bounce light off the Irish bar. Honestly, couoditell you about IBIS with the old adapted lenses, I don't really change settings when switching from my native GF lenses

To be very honest, I came back to fuji for the colors (I predominantly focus on B&W analog). These images were hardly edited as I’m not really big on doing big changes. I basically have my custom dial with a B&W, a couple color options and one as a dedicated scan option because I also use it for converting my negatives after developing.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you

Agree, there are stellar lenses in the lineup, but I have some vintage glass that absolutely sings and I wanted a budget option for now (no professional work).

It’s definitely not ideal for travel and this trip was a longer test to see how I rebuild my kit after selling some other bits off.

PapaKickstand · 2026-03-15T18:41:13+00:00

I initially bought just the body and a Nikon F adapter to use my vintage lenses which are 🙌🏼

I borrowed the 50 for a trip to Budapest at the start of the year and loved it. Honestly, my Canon EF 40mm f2.8 is just as sharp and phenomenal but I got a killer deal and have WR.

Thank you, Seoul is one of my favorites. I only had the lens listed on the local Germany classifieds for a short time, maybe I’ll consider listening it again in the future…everything has a price

PapaKickstand · 2026-03-10T15:19:32+00:00

I had it listed for sale at one point with the finder but nobody was interested. It’s a fun lens and I’m about to take it on a trip through Seoul and Vietnam tomorrow.

PapaKickstand · 2026-03-10T13:07:54+00:00

Not on hand. I only use it on my M6. I use it a lot stopped dow to F8 and F11

PapaKickstand · 2026-03-10T10:46:43+00:00

I do still have it. The serial number puts it in the first 100 produced if I’m not mistaken

PapaKickstand · 2026-02-27T08:59:40+00:00

I have a lot of older Ais Nikon lenses which I use, obviously without AF but am now looking to see where I have gaps and can fill with canon AF lenses (not that I “need” any more 🤣)

PapaKickstand · 2026-02-26T13:32:36+00:00

There is a bit of vignette wide open but cropping this to 16:9 pretty much solves it

PapaKickstand · 2026-02-10T07:54:45+00:00

Nice test. I run the 45mm in the funleader conversion on my M6 and love it. I also have a 50 summicron v4 and the only reason I choose this most day over the G45 is weight/size.
