I have shot that combination with the X-E1, and it does work.

And the 135 works ok for airport shots.

Thanks, Jim!

I can do about 5ft as well, but I have an extension ring which should get me 
closer.  However, hand-holding with manual focus that close is not going to 
work, I think.

WOW!  Beautiful image.  How close can you shoot with your 135?  I have a nice 
Takumar 135/3.5, but it will only focus down to 5 feet.

Well it’s taken a couple of years, but I got out last week with my Fuji-Zuiko adapter 
and the delightful 135 ƒ2.8 that I bought off Giles (former List member) in Ireland 
about 10 years ago.  I really liked this lens on my OMs, and it works pretty well on my 
Fujis:

I know that only one tulip is in focus, but . . .

The shape in the background is Victoria, our Bovans Nera, a recent arrival in 
the garden.
