Yes, it is a lot of fun. I've mainly used pentax/takumar lenses on a canon DSLR; my brother has an XT1 which he's tried a few things with, I think maybe Nikkor lenses among others.
I have to say though, shooting film on a manual focus camera is still more fun.
The XT1 is pretty cool because the focus peaking still works, whereas with a Canon SLR you are on your own with focusing. Not that it is any different from using any other lens in manual, I just prefer using a split screen for manual focusing, so give me an F2 with film anyday over a DSLR with an old lens. I'm terrible at manual focusing, clearly.
What are you planning on using?

Anyone on here have experience using old film lens on digital camera? In particular interested if anyone has experience using old lens on the Fuji X series cameras?
