Steve, Fuji sells two add on lenses that screw on to the lens of the Fuji X100 series, and convert the 35mm lens to 28mm and 50mm, without any change in the aperture, i.e. they stay at f2. On a whim I purchased the 50mm adapter which I stumbled upon in the used department of B&H online, found it very good indeed. Then last week, I found the 28mm adapter available used, and purchased that as well, though it will only reach me in the first week of June. It will give me an ultra compact, lightweight and fast (f2) 28/35/50mm autofocus combo to use on the streets, without going through the hassle of changing lenses or carrying the bulk and weight of a f2.8 zoom. For those interested, the Fujifilm part numbers are WCL X-100 and TCL X-100. Douglas, All the carcasses are goat, i.e. mutton, which is the staple meat, by and large, in India for non vegetarians. Chicken and fish cost considerably more, and eating beef is forbidden in the Hindu religion, which makes beef comparatively inexpensive, but of dubious quality for the most part. Peter, I take photographs close up, and I take from a distance as well, for various reasons, mainly to include the environment, but sometimes, like in Morning Tea, to include another element, in this case the driver snoozing in the autorickshaw (tuk tuk) on the right. I will be posting the close ups as street portraits later today.
