New Lens
Or at least new to my Fuji digital camera. I have bought an adapter for Pentax K to Fuji X so that I could use the lenses from my 1980s Pentax ME Super on the Fujifilm.
That means manual focus is the only focus option. So rather than relying on the autofocus speed and precision I have to rely on my focus skills and they are limited since I have not touched my Pentax in years. What I have never tried with film was pre focusing of moving objects. The risk of burning money on film was too high I thought. With the Fuji however I never feel the need to practice since the camera and modern lenses focus well enough for all my needs. But does it? The autofocus does fail sometimes and by just following the object with an continous autofocus and serial exposures I produce a lot of data waste rather. So for now the old glas will be a pre focusing training tool that forces me to interpret and foresee situations, make my self aware of distances and the area that I can put in focus with the choosen aperture - and that is not wide open with narrow area of sharpness. So I use an aperture around f8 or higher and than it is more or less point and shoot.
