Manufacturer description
A very wide angle of view (84°) and extra-wide depth of field, plus exaggerated perspective for special effects, and a three-dimensional quality to its pictures, make this a very popular focal length among wide angle lenses.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Fuji Photo Film EBC Fujinon-SW 24/2.8 lens on my Fujifilm X-series APS-C digital mirrorless camera?
Yes, use the M42 - Fujifilm X mount adapter and enable "SHOOT WITHOUT LENS" option in the camera menu. The 35mm equivalent focal length of this lens will be 36.5mm (61.3° angle of view) due to the crop factor of the APS-C-size image sensor of Fujifilm X-series digital mirrorless cameras. The automatic aperture control as well as automatic stop down will not be available. You will have to control the aperture and focus manually. For accurate focusing, try different manual focus assist options (zoomed-in view, digital split image, digital microprism or focus peak highlight) available with your camera, or use the lens' distance scale.

Comments (2)
I have tested (well, not thoroughly nor professionally) this rare lenes here: https://www.rustichelli.net/Hobbies/Photography/LensTests/24mm-XFujinon-f-2.8/Fujinon-24-mm-f-2.8.php
It is very pleasant to use, a real surprise, very good for short and mid-distance. Not really recommendable for landscape, at least with my Fuji-X XT-20 -not sensors-friendly?
I have two(!) copies, found in a short span of time, and in both cases the diagphragm blades are a bit slow though not stuck (yet), so it must be an issue of this product.
Thank you for the review. However, you tested the X-mount version but left your comment on the page dedicated to the M42-mount version.
