🎬 E. Ludwig Meritar 50mm F2.9 – Serviced Vintage Prime Lens (Adapted to Fujifilm X / FX)
Bring true vintage character to your Fujifilm X camera with the E. Ludwig Meritar 50mm F2.9 – a classic East German prime known for its organic rendering, gentle contrast, and beautifully “film-like” feel. This lens has been fully serviced (cleaned, adjusted, lubricated) for smooth manual operation and dependable use on modern digital bodies.
This is a real vintage photographic lens—not a modern reissue – so you get the authentic look filmmakers and photographers chase: natural falloff, flattering highlights, and that subtle old-glass signature that makes images feel alive. Mounted on Fujifilm X (APS-C), 50mm gives you a very practical portrait-friendly field of view (about 75mm equivalent) – perfect for interviews, street portraits, detail shots, and atmospheric storytelling.
✅ Serviced / CLA-style work completed:
• Cleaned (internal/external where accessible)
• Adjusted for proper operation
• Lubricated for smoother focus feel
✅ Glass condition:
The glass is free of serious scratches, fog, and fungus. There is minor vintage wear typical for lenses of this era, and it will not affect the final image.
✅ Body condition:
The lens body is in good condition with normal cosmetic wear for its age. No functional issues noted.
✅ Adapted for Fujifilm X:
Included Fujifilm X / Fuji FX adaptation allows easy mounting to Fuji X cameras. This is a fully manual lens experience: set aperture on the lens and focus manually (focus peaking/magnification on Fuji bodies makes this fast and accurate).
Perfect for:
Vintage portrait look, film-emulation shooters, creative bokeh, soft highlight roll-off, moody contrast, retro photography, and anyone building a unique prime set for Fuji X.
📸 You will receive the exact item shown in the photos.
Carefully packed for safe shipping.
