Got it yesterday. Here are the first shots. Without intent, ALL of my images posted here were Nikon F-mount lens with an adapter to Fuji X. Very nice little imaging machine!!

What are YOU looking at??? by Peeb-OK, on Flickr

Focus peaking took ages to figure out, but is configured and working quite nicely now! Lots of fun.

Nice. How are you liking the xt20? Are these raw files? If so how did you process? Does the xt20 have the film simulations like the Xt2?

Welcome to Fujiworld.

1. Loving it!
2. Mixture of raw and jpg, processed in (mostly photoshop) but some jpg processing in DXO Photolab.
3. It does have film processing but I've not scratched the surface. Haven't really gone past provia. Looking forward especially to experimenting with acros, both in stills and video.

Fun!!

How is the AF performance with the F-mount lens adapter and that 70-300 lens?

No AF available- it is a 'dumb' adapter with no electronics and no glass. Just physical connections. Still, the 'focus peaking' works pretty well. You'll miss fast action and birds in flight, but it's pretty reliable on stationary objects.

IQ is lovely Congrats!

That’s been my experience as well with focus peaking. I actually really like it.

Which adapter are you using? I’ve been meaning to pick one up so I can use my Nikon glass on it.

Some knockout shots Peeb, I sense many more in the near future.

This one is cheap and allows some aperture control for lenses that don’t have an aperture ring. I use it with my Lensbaby Velvet which is a Nikon mount but has its own A ring. It also worked well with my Nikon 105 2.8 before I sold it, allowing me to change aperture 3 or 4 stops. Clicks into place easily.

I couldn't recall the initials until that memory jog. Yes! K&F is what I use as well. 30.00 USD.

I read recently about an upcoming new adapter that would allow for AF and also work as a focal reducer so you can use FF lenses on a crop Fuji. I'll see if I can find the article.

Great set of shots, looks like you will gel very nicely with the X-T20.
