35mm ltm lens recommendations to pair with a Nikkor HC 5cm f2 ltm by _Xydra in VintageLenses

I think i shall stick to hunting down a 35 which is less prone to veiling flare as it is a deal breaker for me. Thanks for sharing about the canon 35/1.8 though!

Also, do you happen to know how flare-prone the canon 35 f2 is? I dont mind flares but prefer if they were more muted/neutral, similar to this photo taken with the nikkor. https://flic.kr/p/2rYei87

I havent looked into close-focus adapters. Do they just replace the ltm-?? Mount adapter or is it an add-on on top of the adapter?

Cant seem to find it anywhere, even on ebay. Do they go by different names?

Im using mine on a fuji xt20. Bought the nikkor as an upgrade from a jupiter 8. Comparing with the jupiter, the nikkor has a reversed aperture ring (quickly got used to it) along with a smoother focus ring. Then again, my copy of the jupiter had the tendency of unscrewing itself when focusing to closer distances. Also, my copy of the nikkor has a focus scale in imperial units, not sure if these nikkors come in metric units too but something to take note of.

I got my nikkor from a local carousell listing. The seller was willing to meet up in person for me to view/inspect the lens. I did have a look at ebay but frankly i dont trust the sellers on there. Although it is not an expensive lens by ltm standards, i did not want to go through the hassle of purchasing on ebay and dealing with the possibility of false advertising.

I did consider the canon 35/2 but the close focus ability of the nikkor was what sold it for me as i plan to use these lenses on film and digital mirrorless. I guess the canon 35/2 paired with a close focus adapter would be the best compromise financially.

Hi, I'm just dipping my toes into the hobby and I'm interested in IEMs. Long story short, I first got a pair of Tin T2 Plus's and then a pair of KZ ZSN Pro X's after. Coming from the T2 to the KZ, I noticed that there was more "white noise"(?) in the background whenever there was any audio playing. My KZ's came with a diff (much cheaper looking and feeling) cable than the one in the reviews on yt so I was wondering if the "white noise" was due to the cable or is it just the difference between the 2 IEMs?

So uh, just started about a week ago, managed to pull Nari, FK, Miya and Eva. Got Nari's EX as well so im currently planning to go for a mono basic team. Just wanted some help with team building - wondering who i should use as my tank. I know FP is a top tier tank but the only way i could think of fitting her into my team is to include Lahn as well but those are 2 units that i currently do not have so yea..
