www.flickr.com/photos/saltgeorge - check the album/set name for the lens if it's not given in the description. There are a few Fuji lens shots in there too.
Unless you were thinking of selling then it's a horrible price !!
That's not all my legacy lenses represented there..Ahh ffs... You have the three lenses i have so that hasn't helped at all...
I like the Rolleinar MC 28/2.8I'm looking for a not very expensive legacy 24/28mm for my X-E1. Any recommendations?
I wouldn't mind one, but I just got the X-E1 + 18-55 + 50-230 so the finances don't allow that nowTry the 27mm 2.8 pancake, around £180 used, but a great lens

I was thinking about getting one cheap legacy lens now, and then start climbing from there. I was planning on selling that and buying the 27mm, and latter, selling the 27mm and getting either the 23mm, or the X100(S).
Btw, nice shot @kennysarmy !
Yeah I know... Unfortunately my wallet can't handle the 23mm right nowCheers
The 23mm lens is FANTASTIC btw
Took delivery of the 35mm and it is great in terms of sharpness and IQ. My Xe2 seems to hunt for focus quite a lot with the 35mm but light wasn't the best I suppose on the test shots. That's the biggest difference I've found since switching from DSLR. Focus doesn't seem to compare on all but completely stationary objects.
I'm not sure stationary or not makes a difference but it's definitely an art trying to get focus in lower light....but with practice and understanding what it focus locks on to will help....
In low light and with a moving subject remember to switch on high performance mode in the menu. It's off by default and it ups the battery drain when it's on, but it is supposed to make a difference to low light focussing.
Not sure what the cameras were for these (XE1 or XP1 most likely) but both taken with an old Russian Jupiter 11 135mm f4:Damn, the refurb price of the xe2 is really tempting!!!

Looking back on some of my images taken it was at various fstops, I think I just had a poor copyWere you shooting wide open? As I say, it's sharp enough open but stopped down a little it really resolves a lot of detail.
I loved the Oly OM 28mm f2.8 should get one in your price range. Sold mine when I bought the fuji 35mm wish I'd kept it nowI'm looking for something in the 50-70£ range, maximum. The idea is to have something lighter than the 18-55.
(I don't have any adapters).
Thanks!
The recent ones haven't been taken with Minolta lenses, I've got a mish-mash of lenses for different mounts but I'm tending to drift towards rationalising down to just Rollei QBM and the Minoltas.Your getting some really good quality images with the legacy Minolta lenses, I am looking at getting a couple of primes to go on my X-E1 any you would recommend. Just have the Fuji 35mm at present so one to go either side would be good say 28 and 55ish poss 135 also.
