Lamefrog, may I suggest buying Iridient X-Transformer software. I think it's about $40. It does a better job with RAF files than Lightroom and it's simple to use, even for a dullard like me.
Something else to look into is updating your LR software. It might depend on what version you have but Adobe did free updates for LR6 right up to the point they discontinued it.
I used JPEGs with Fuji when I first started using the cameras. The photos looked okay but I prefer using Raw for better control. Either way, I hope you enjoy using the camera.

They were part of my working kit originally. But the addition of a Leica M240 made them a bit redundant so I sold it along. A delightful addition it was though.

Dogman , thanks . I didn't know about Transformer. Looks like they have a free trial version and I'm definitely going to have a look.

Yeah, give the free version a try. If you don't like it, nothing lost.
You use X-Transformer in conjunction with LR. Just import the IRT files into LR. That's a huge benefit to those of us who have spent time learning how to use (or misuse) LR controls.

I've used both adapters on the X100s, t and f, they work really nicely. But as some have already said, it kills the simplicity of the camera, which is a significant part of its charm. Granted, as a travel kit it's wonderful as you don't need to worry about getting dust on the sensor.
As you also have an interchangeable lens fuji x, it would be useful to have the X100F as a second body, say, pairing both cameras - 35/1.4 and WCL, TCL and 14/2.8 etc. It's a pretty good way to shoot, not needing to change lenses outside of a more controlled, dust free environment.

You can change the in-camera JPEG rendering using the menus. You can store several sets of your favorite in-camera JPEG rendering parameters and quickly change them too. There is no reason to have over saturated color rendering.
I suggest you make sure the JPEG sharpening level is set to the lowest value.

Thank you . Sharpening was set at +1 . Still working thru the menu options.

If you work outdoors with speed lights, or indoors balancing window daylight w/flash, the X100 cameras have a great advantage over most others. A Leaf shutter.

By "simplicity" I assume you mean the ergonomics and not the operational capability of the camera. While I agree that the ergonomics and pocket-capability of the camera is compromised, I have found that additional capability of having 3 focal lengths in a small package offsets the disadvantages. But I did come from carrying around two Nikon D2H bodies with an assortment of fast zooms when I was working....

Yes - and IMO, the x100, when wearing the 50mm conversion lens, looks quite superb!
