Hello,

I am seeing an issue with the Fuji-M adapter and a Voigtländer Nokton M 1.5/50mm. Using the OVF, the display is very dim, barely readable in bright light. If I mount any of the native lenses, it's all bright and fine. Did I miss someting in the settings here ?
 
Probably.

The OVF display settings are independent of the EVF display settings.

With the X100 and the X-Pro 1, I have accidentally invoked untended OVF display settings.

You aren't wearing polarized sun glasses are you? If you are, this will cause OVF to be almost black.
 
Not a polarizing issue. The frame line brightness usually adapts to ambient light (measured on the sensor I presume), but stays to a minimal level here, so it is very hard to see in bright light.

I suspect that this might be unavoidable since the adapter has no idea about the actual aperture, and hence cannot decide the ambient light level. I just wish the default brightness would be adjustable in that case.
