3 AMAZING Vintage Lens for Fujifilm! (Under $100!) 

Great review and beautiful shots! Thank you!

Such dope videos - loving the channel

I'm so glad your video came up on my suggested feed, I also use Fujifilm X trans cameras and have both the Nikon and M42 convertors. I have the Fuji primes 16, 23, 27, 35 and 50, but also have a lot of vintage and third party lenses. They all have their own qualities and I need to use them more often, I will subscribe and follow from across the pond in the UK

Man, again a beautiful video. Thanks so much for such quality content. Love it.

Great photography, Olawale. I agree with your lens recommendations.

Thank you for such delicious positive vibes! Love it. ❤👍

Good stuff, man. The 35/3.5 Super-Tak is something special. Micro-contrast for days. Have used it for years, digital and film. 100% Between Takumars and Hexanon, there's really little-to-no reason to look elsewhere or spend more money. Nikkors are great but they still have a modern rep and that makes them catch popularity fire much more easily. For 50s (or even 55mm or 57mm) ... really, *ALL* of the fast-fifty manual lenses from all the makers are fantastic; Nikkor, Pentax, Takumar, Rokkor, Hexanon etc etc. They're all incredible almost without exception. But my biggest suggestion (to others, clearly not to you lol) is look into Hexanons and Takumars.

Hell yes! Great video dude!

Great video man! You got a lot of passion for photography. Do you do it full time or just as a side gig?

Great lenses, the nikkor 50mm 1.8 is my favourite lens ever! If you ever find the nikkor 20mm 3.5 please try it out, I think you might love it, it would really fit your style! Take care!

Keep up the great work man you’re crushing it. Content is top notch

Awesome video, ill think about getting some of those cheeper options. I got the xt2 and im loving it. I commented before about it. Your advice is amazing :)

While I mostly use my native fuji lenses I do enjoy using my helios 44m and Super-Takumar 135mm f3.5. I'm actually looking at a couple of takumar lenses and Minolta lenses. Vintage lenses are fun and still, surprisingly hold up well.

Well done pal great review

Man. I have the same takumar 3.5 on my xpro2 and I love it. There’s nothing that lens can’t do. It’s glued to my camera 95% of the time. Only to be briefly replaced by a canon 100mm 2.8.

nice reviews and pics mate

Thank you for explaining why I can't find a wide-angle vintage lens! I have been wondering!

I'll keep an eye out for your recommendations. Thanks!

Such a great video I’ve enjoyed every bit of it 🫶🏻🫶🏻

One of my favorite lenses of all time is the 24 mm f2.8 Nikkor (Nikon F Mount) oldie but goodie, sooo sharp and amazing color rendition

Great finds! Most videos just talk about Helios for vintage, which is great, but it's cool to see some fresh blood!

I too am a big fan of the Super-Takumar 35mm f3.5. I rarely find a need to shoot above f4. My preferred range is 50mm and I would like to suggest vintage Cosina lenses. Cosina, as you may know, does a lot of manufacturing for other companies including Zeiss and Voigtlander. I just picked up a 50mm f1.7 M42 Cosina lens for about $45 which is a well-made piece of metal and glass.

awesome, I'm about to buy the xt2 and this video helped me :) dude do u need different adapters for these different lenses? Thanks a lot ;)

Very nice review .

Subscribed. Great video

hey bro hope you are doing well, i bought a X-t2 after watching how passionate you were about it and love it! please do an update video on where you are with your photography.

Thank you for this video, Olawale!

great review, great comments and some fine lenses here, only missing thing here is some actual image samples instead of your face the whole time

Where have you been? I just discovered you and subbed My favorite vintage lens for my XT 20 is a 28mm f2.5 Minolta rokkor it's sharp and has those Minolta colors I bought a near mint one for $75

420th like, let’s gooo. great stuff man

Good video!

Hi Wale, great video! Can these lenses also work with a Fuji X T-1 if I use an adapter? And do all lenses work with a NIKON-FUJI adapter or should I get different adaptors for each of the lenses you discuss?

Great video Olawale. Thank you! Any idea where I can buy these lenses , I’ve looked everywhere but can’t find them.

i would recommend the minolta NMD (MD III) 50 1.4 on fuji. trust me you will love the color and sharpness. its also not very huge. in fact its one of the smallest size 50mm out there (49mm filter). i use it on my xt10 and i love the outcome each time i shoot, especially night potraits another quite budget 24mm i got was the minolta NMD (MDIII) 24 2.8 as well. works great on my XT10

I have the Nikon and it is a beautiful lens. I will have to look into the Tamron.

I really like the 35 mm Takumars as well. I chose the F2 version only because it’s kind of soft and dreaming at F2, which is what I wanted. It’s nice to have two lenses in one. You can use as well as it sharpens up by 2.8. It’s more money but certainly worth the cost. The 50 1.8 is an excellent choice as I used that lens for shooting weddings. Thanks for sharing your thoughts regards, Gerry.

I have been playing with M42 lenses lately and I have had some older EF mount canon lenses for years when my grandfather handed down his EOS Rebel to me.

Which adaptor do you use for the vintage lenses?

Another great video! I'd like to try the Takumar. Can you recomend a takumar to fuji-x adaptor?

nice thanks. what's the mount adaptor you use for these lenses?

Great video. Have you tried the Jupiter 8 and the Industar 61? (Both are Soviet lenses, and both very cheaply available).

great video. thanks. is this lenses needs convertor?

Which adapter do I need to use the Nikkor 50mm in my xt3?

What adapter is needed for me to make these fit my fuji film xt-3?

I love vintage lenses which I use on my XT2. I've got the Pentax 50mm f1.7 (my favourite, so sharp), a mint Minolta 58mm f1.4 (equivalent 87mm f2.2 on my XT2) , a Pentax M 50mm f1.4 macro, and the Konica Hexanon AR 40mm F1.8 Pancake (beautiful colours).

please can u recommend an adapter that manage to control F AND foucus ?

Hey man how are you fitting these on the camera ?

just to clarify, you're still getting the 1.4 crop factor with these lenses? also what's your recommended adapter for using these lenses? is there a universal one or are you using different ones for each brand ? i have a fuji xt4 and would love to throw some of these on, i love my 35 f2 "50" but it's nice to have options.

I'm a newbie, just bought a x-t2 no lens yet, what does he mean he has to use it at 3.5. would the pancake lens be good for nature shots?

What are your thoughts about the Tamron’s video capabilities and color rendering? Can’t see a lot of great reviews about this lens out there.

nice to know, i would se also more pictuers shot with thath lenses :

Are these particular takumars radioactive?

What mount is that Nikkor lens?

Yes Bro, loved the video, and am checking out the lenses? What do you think of the Nikons compared to the more popular but now expenisve Canon FDs? Have you tried them?

I am considering the Pentax super Takumar 35mm f3.5 but I am slightly confused. There are a few available on eBay most of them say “super Takumar and one says “super muti coated”. Which one do you have/ recommend. Thanks

Looks amazing! I'm new to Fuji and I read it is X mount, but Nikkor is F mount, isn't it? How do you fit it on a Fuji?

Do you need any special mounts or adapters to use these vintage lenses?

We’re can I find these!!!

I have a Minolta 50mm f1.4 and 1.7 rokkor on my xt2 it is very good. But once I put those lenses on my XE1 it is marvellous

All takumars are amazing. I have all those you mentioned; Nikkor, Tamron...Super takumar is the s&*%*T

How do you fit the lenses onto your X-T2?

Can you send me the links of each one of where I can buy them

what adapter you used for the 50mm nikon to your fujifilm x

Great vintage wides are the early Minolta MC Rokkors, the ones made in the 60’s and 70’s. Avoid the newer Minoltas😊

Hi bro hope your your well I am have eyeing up a TAMRON 24mm 2.5 MC Ultra Wide Angle Lens Model 01B Pentax test page gave it a 9 for sharpness. Well built looks gd you should check it out

Damn am I gonna have to hit eBay up now? 🥴

Do you need a special adapter to mount them on your XT2?

Do i need an adopter for my xt30

Are you attaching adapters onto these lenses to fit onto your Fujifilm cameras? If so, which cameras?

Does all of these fit the fuji x mount?

The only thing I hate about Takumar 35/3.5 is the lack of enough aperture blades. The bokeh becomes so ugly and polygonal shapes if you use any aperture except f3.5.

Look at the lens not the monitor
