Canon 50mm 1.4 ltm

I think I have found my almost perfect lens. Its sharp wide open and its a joy to use on my xe2. Almost... its because it juts out a little. Other than that focussing is smooth and the aperture ring is firm and clicks nicely. The aperture is in front of the focussing ring though and that takes some getting used to. Luckily I have experience in such lenses, such as the helios and the pentacons.

If you are into vintage lens and you really want to feel the vintage experience, than this is the lens to get. On my Fuji its about 75mm which is the focal length that I really like to work with. Here are some potraits shots using the lens. I'll post more of the wider shots soon I hope.
