I had gone for a photo walk a week ago to a street market inChennai, the
city where I reside in India. I took a series of photographs, mainly street
portraits, which are referenced below.

I had with me an unusual accessory for my Fuji X100S - a sacrew on adapter,
made by Fuji that converts the lens to a 50mm f2 lens from a 35mm f2 lens
(in full frame terms, the camera actually has an APS-C sensor). I had been
looking at the B&H used section some time ago, looking for a Fuji lens,
when I stumbled upon this adapter, and purchased it om a whim. I was very
happy with the results, and have just purchased another similar adapter,
also made by Fuji themselves, which converts the lens into a 28mm f2 lens.
This makes for a pretty ideal 28/35/50mm f2 walk around ultra lightweight
set, which can be carried around in one's pocket.

I have posted larger than normal jpgs, in case anyone wants to take a
detailed look.
