Portraits with xPro2 & MS Optical f2/28
One of the great joys of Fuji xPro2 is that you can use a variety of Leica M lenses via an official Fuji lens adapter, which allows one to mount Leica lenses on the Fuji bodies. This weekend, after receiveing a loaner xPro2 from Fujifilm USA, I mounted my MS Optical f2/28mm lens, which is even smaller than a pancake lens. That 28mm field of view translates to about 42 mm on the APS-C sensor – not too wide, not too tele. I walked around town and made some portraits of folks I met on a this weekend. As you can tell, the lens is quite soft — romantic even — when wide open. It combines well with the new sensor and processor in the Fuji.
