Helios 58mm f2.0 and Tokina 135mm f2.8 M42 lenses on the Fuji X-Pro1
I'm not sure if I need the Fuji 55-200mm lens, obviously I'd love to have it, I just can't afford all the things I want. But I'll definitely get the new 56mm 1.2 lens once it comes out. Meanwhile we are all waiting for it there are plenty of old lenses with similar or longer focal lengths to play with. My choices of vintage glasses are the Helios 58mm f2.0 and the Tokina 135mm f2.8 M42 screw mount lenses. On a Fuji X camera it translates into 87 and 203mm. They both built to last forever, apertures rings are nice to handle, focus ring is smooth on the Tokina, a bit stiff on the Helios, but it produces amazing swirly bokeh effects.
Here are a few shots from the last couple of weeks taken with the Fuji X-Pro1 using both lenses.

Now, where did I leave my camera?
Here is my entry to Rebecca Lily's fantastic competition. There are amazing prizes to be won, one of them is a Fuji X100s camera and I'd really like to have this one in my arsenal. Although it's a win-win situation, because she also giving away 5 of her superb Lightroom presets for free to all competitors.
Don't forget to check out her work and you can find the competition details here.
The photo I have chosen is one of my favorite from Carol&Eoghan's wedding and I named it 'Now, where did I leave my camera?' after the lady's expression on the left. It was shot with a Fuji X-Pro1 and I used Rebecca Lily's PRO II. Black&White-Ebony I. preset.

More Long Exposure shots with the Fuji X-Pro1
Long exposure... The more I do it the more I like it. This week I walked into Dublin city centre to take more photos of my current hometown. I did a few shots then a mini storm broke out, I had to take shelter and the closest thing was a pub, why not. I had a pint of the good stuff and a bit of a time to think of where to go next. I photographed some of the bridges and buildings along the River Liffey, then it started to rain again and it was time to call it a night.
All images were taken with the Fuji X-Pro1 and the 18mm lens.

Autumn walk
Autumn is here again and I'm loving it. Nice shadows, warm gold sunset, amazing colors. Perfect for late afternoon walks. There is a hungarian poem about autumn and its first verse captures my feelings pretty well towards this season. I didn't find an official translation so I tried my best.
Autumn is here, here again,
Beautiful as always to me.
God knows what reason why
I Love it? But I love it.
Sándor Petőfi
And here are couple of photos from our walk with my daughter in the Phoenix Park. All photos were taken with the Fuji X-Pro1.
