I went to the Paris Photo Salon yesterday and afterwards my photo buddy and I were in the 5th borough visiting some photo expos held in independent art galleries ... the Pentax-110 film lens is a lot of fun on the Fuji. Here the 18/2.8 wide open since there is no native diaphragm ...

I didn't know that Pentax 100 lenses could be used on modern MILC bodies. Does the image circle cover the APS-C sensor?

The 70mm lens in the 110 lineup is kinda legendary. A couple of years I passed on a complete Pentax 110 kit still in the box at a rock bottom price. Drat...

Yes, they work well and cover well on my X-E1 & X-E2 with a Chinese adapter from eBay.

The 50/2.8 is great (my favorite), the 18/2.8 will vignette in the corners (but a 5x7 frame hides a lot this problem), the 24/2.8 is super sharp in the middle ... but falls off a lot towards the corners.

I have recently acquired the 70/2.8, but I have not had the time to put it through its paces. All seems AOK from the first quick tests.

I have also just installed a home-made diaphragm in my second copy of the 18mm to get some more sharpness and DoF hopefully. Need to test it as well.

Below is an image with the 24/2.8.

Thanks for the info. That little lens on the big body looks real cute!

I have looked for a Pentax 110 lens to Samsung NX body adapter, but there seems to be no demand for using ~~defunct~~ classic lenses with a dead camera system.
