Does anyone have an adapter to mount M42 lenses on Fuji X (X-T20) ? I had the K&F Concept one in my Amazon wish list but it is now showing as unavailable - some of the other options look a bit clunky so wondered if anyone had a recommendation ? Thanks...

I got quite excited to start with as the 35 1.4 is 232 quid - was all set to buy and then saw it wasn't amazon and looked a bit suspect - guess it was too good to be true....

A few more from my wander yesterday - felt quite out of practice in seeing a shot so need to get out more.. Untitled by Gary Smith, on Flickr Untitled by Gary Smith, on Flickr and a cliche shot that has been done many times before and better.. Untitled by Gary Smith, on Flickr

I end up with almost all of my stuff as B&W so would have expected to go for that version, but think I prefer the colour version this time. Think maybe that the tones stand out better in the colour - not sure. Lovely scene either way.

Interesting to read the thoughts on the 35mm - I was looking to get the 1.4 to complement the 18-55 and hadn't really considered the 23mm - might actually go and try them before I buy anything ! Haven't used my X-T20 in months for various reasons, but had a wander round the Square Mile and the...

Fair enough and everyone is entitled to their opinion, am just curious what informs that opinion. It's no big deal to me really, but sometimes see a point of view that differs from my own that I like to understand it.

I don't have a Sony but this thread is super busy and entertaining - reading this, genuinely curious - does it matter if a camera looks like a compact, or indeed, is a compact ? Isn't it the results that you get from the camera that matters, not what it looks like ?

HK is awesome - I have been there a few times for work in the past and by the time I went on my last trip (several years ago now), I had gotten into photography and was lucky enough to have some free time to get out with the camera - Places possibly worth a look: Lantau - home of the Big Buddha...

Sorry if you have said this already but what adapter did you get ? I have a Takumar 55mm and a 28mm from my Spotmatic SPII and hadn't even considered using them on my X-T20 but am intrigued now....

A few posts back ( this thread moves fast !) I posted a shot of our new cat - decided to try a B&W conversion using Snapseed on my phone and quite pleased with the result : Untitled by Gary Smith, on Flickr

Yep, quite a lot of potential that way (y)
