First impressions: Zeiss Touit 32mm f1.8 on the Fujifilm X-M1

I recently received an old digital Fujifilm camera from my sister. It’s the Fujifilm X-M1. The camera is in a very good condition, aside from the LCD, which already has vignetting and color cast. It’s still ok for composing, but I can’t rely on it anymore to judge colors.

I decided to buy a new lens for it 🙂 I’ve always been fascinated by the Zeiss Touit 32mm f/1.8 lens, but previously I don’t own a compatible interchangeable lens camera for that lens. When I buy cameras for myself, I deliberately bought fixed lens cameras like the Fujifilm X100 and the X70.

Receiving the camera from my sister was a good excuse to finally buy the lens. A few days ago, I managed to find a secondhand copy online, and I just received it a couple of nights ago.

65:24 aspect ratio.

I’ve been fascinated by the 65:24 aspect ratio for quite some time.

Photographer Jonas Rask has written a series of blog posts about his experience using Fujifilm TX-1, a film camera that shoots in 65:24 ratio. Basically using 2 frames of 35mm film format at once for each photos.

The photos from the blog posts are very unique and beautiful in my opinion. Here are some examples from his blog:

Do you have a Fujifilm camera with hybrid viewfinder (e.g. the X100 series) and cannot switch between OVF and EVF?

If you have a Fujifilm camera with hybrid viewfinder and cannot switch between optical/electronic viewfinder, take a look at your ELECTRONIC LEVEL SETTING.
