Yes, I used many manual lenses on my Fuji XT-10 and XT-2 - 12mm f/2, 35mm f/1.2, 56mm f/1.4 (all crop of course) among others. The only one I would say was easy

Well, there you go, that's a pretty important caveat. It makes e.g. candid photography pretty challenging.
- aaronbrethorst 4y agoAgreed. From my perspective, someone who would benefit from my advice doesn't need the added challenge of dealing with manual focusing in addition to properly composing their frame. I see it as being similar to an innovation token in software development. Choose to learn one new thing at a time, not two or three. https://mcfunley.com/choose-boring-technology https://mcfunley.com/choose-boring-technology Once you're comfortable with a 50mm with autofocus, go nuts! Turn off AF on your lens or body. Practice with manual focusing. Buy an old Canon FD lens and see how delightful these vintages lenses are on a modern body! Then, attach it to a Canon AE-1 and learn how to shoot black and white film! Lots to learn; just don't bite off too much at one time.
