I have that lens. Bought it when I was playing around with film. I have mounted it to my XT-2 with an adaptor I bought on ebay. Have no idea who I bought it from it was several years ago but the adaptors are very simple devices - no magic to them. The only marking on mine says L39-FX. It works fine on the XT-2; if you set manual mode, you have the focus assist features available. Compared to the 55-200 at 135, the Jupiter lens is pretty soft. It is pretty small and light-weight, so it does have that going for it.

I just saw this thread and tried the various things that were suggested. What I found was that in single focus mode, the aperture did return to wide open very slowly, but, if you half-pressed the shutter, it would immediately go to wide open. In continuous mode, it stopped down as soon as the shutter was half-pressed and returned to wide open when the shutter was released. In very dim light, with continuous focusing, focus performance was very bad. I could find cases where it would not focus at all (at f11) but would focus immediately if I switched over to single focus.

I've only had my xt2 for a few days. When I got it, I put the 126s on the charger and put a third-party 126 in the camera (not a wasabi). Today, I was playing with the camera; the battery meter showed 2 bars. All of a sudden the battery indicator turned red and the camera shut down. This happened in about a second. I'm used to the batteries in the xt1 showing two bars left and going dead shortly thereafter but this was almost instantaneous. Clearly, the battery indicator on the xt2 is not usable with the third party batteries that I have. Can anyone confirm that the wasabi batteries work properly with the battery indicator?
