As a test today I got out my Kipon adapter for my Fuji/Nikon lenses. This allows the attachment of Nikon lenses onto the Fuji XPro1 and EX1. Obviously you need to adjust aperture and focus and zoom manually.


I used the Nikon 70-300 f4.5-5.6 AFS G lens.
This worked much better than I'd expected.
One issue is that you dont know your f stop as it is a G lens.


Even though I was working in full sunlight there was some need to up the ISO so I could make sure that shake was not and issue.

This lens on the XPro1 is a 100-450mm zoom. Very nice for travel and since the camera is so light it makes for a very light carry around with the 18-55 as the extra lens.
I still have to check out the images that I took as they were all close ups and not bird or distance animal shots.
MF focussing with the EVF on the XPro1 was not easy to judge exact point of sharp focus as teh EVF really needs more detail. Maybe this will be better on the XE-1 which has a better EVF.

These images are straight out of Lightroom without any extra sharpening.
