Kind of workhorse
I am using this combo quite a lot (Fuji X-Pro1 and Helios 44M-7). Both are second-hand items. The camera is approaching 'vintage' status and the lens has it already. Prices have recently gone up, but you can still get this or similar combos for comparatively little money. In this case, you would get a very solid piece of equipment - it would not offer the latest technology (and this combo does respond best to manual photography) but in terms of image quality and artistic versatility this combination is able to produce the goods. Shot done with the Fuji X-Pro3 plus Samyang 135/2 at F22.
