Fuji updated their lens roadmap

Fuji also puts lens specific correction information into their lenses ... <snip>

Another good point!

Could you elaborate on properly shimmed? How can it matter if you focus via live view?
Do you mean shimmed for infinity to to align the focus scale?
Just curious. I use a Hawks close focus adapter and it seems just fine for the CV1.5/50mm for the few times I use it.

Thanks for the reply 🙂

Yep. Starting with a cheap X>LTM adapter, I simply use brass shims (washers, really) to make infinity equal infinity on the scale of the LTM Nokton. The adapter was about .015" off as I recall. Thinking of trying my hand at "fixing" an official Fuji M adapter....

It's nice to know the scale is accurate, but you're right, of course, it doesn't make much difference unless you scale focus. It just makes me.... um... feel better? 😉

I use a Micro-Nikkor 55/3.5 for close-up work.

errm. I have been told by a few different Fujifilm reps that it's a Sony sensor.

At least one teardown on the web reported that the XTRANS pinouts and other features of the chip are identical to contemporaneous Sony sensors.
