I had 14mm as well and very liked it for indoor and landscapes. Later I decided to sell it for photo budget reducing, but then I started to miss wide angle. The optimal replacement happened to be 12mm Samyang, and I like it so much better then 14mm now.

Prime Lenses (15 lenses)
XF 14mm F2.8 R product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,18 m - Magnification: 1:8.33 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 58 mm - Diameter: 65 mm - Length: 58,4 mm - Weight: 235 g - Price (approx.): €880/$700
Currently the widest prime in the native lens lineup. It’s said to be very sharp, but now that the XF 16mm F1.4 R WR is out, which is not much more expensive, two stops faster and weather resistant, it should be considered if the extra 2mm wide angle are really needed. The manual focus ring can be pulled back to engage manual focus mode, and reveals depth of field and distance scales. (Reviews at Fuji vs. Fuji, Fuji X-Files)
XF 16mm F1.4 R WR product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,15 m - Magnification: 1:4.76 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 67 mm - Diameter: 73,4 mm - Length: 73 mm - Weight: 375 g - Price (approx.): €1000/$850
Close-to-perfect wide angle lens, relatively high magnification due to short close focus distance, even weather resistant. Has the same manual focus mechanism as the XF 14mm F2.8 R. Only optical downside seems to be coma in the corners when wide open (bad for astrophotography). Quite big and expensive. (Reviews at Fstoppers, the digital trekker, Admiring Light)
XF 18mm F2.0 R product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,18 m - Magnification: 1:7 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 52 mm - Diameter: 64,5 mm - Length: 40,6 mm - Weight: 116 g - Price (approx.): €410/$450
One of the original three prime lenses from the beginning of the X-System. Very small and light. The varying rating of the optical quality throughout many reviews suggests copy-to-copy variation. The autofocus motor used in this lens is slightly noisy compared to the virtually silent linear motors of most other Fujinon lenses. (Reviews at The Phoblographer, light priority, MacLean Photographic)
XF 23mm F2.0 R WR product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,22 m - Magnification: 1:7.7 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 43 mm - Diameter: 60 mm - Length: 51,9 mm - Weight: 180 g - Price (approx.): €499/$449
Following the success of the XF 35mm F2.0 R WR, Fujifilm released this weather resistant medium-wide-angle prime lens, designed for rangefinder cameras. (Reviews at Jonas Rask (many images) and The Phoblographer, Comparison with the XF 23mm F1.4 R at IVAN Joshua Loh)
XF 23mm F1.4 R product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,28 m - Magnification: 1:10 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 62 mm - Diameter: 72 mm - Length: 63 mm - Weight: 300 g - Price (approx.): €890/$750
Excellent fast medium-wide-angle prime. Have not heard anything bad about it. Has the same manual focus mechanism as the XF 14mm F2.8 R. (Reviews at la RO QUE, kwerfeldein (german), Dan Bailey)
XM-FL (24mm F8.0)
Close Focus Distance: 1 m - Magnification: 1:41 - Aperture Blades: none (fixed) - Filter Thread: none - Diameter: 60 mm - Length: 21 mm - Weight: 32 g - Price (approx.): €/$85
Fixed aperture, fixed focus body cap filter lens (soft filter & cross filter). Sharp from approximately 1 m to infinity. So far only available in Japan. (Reviews at ReViewed, DSLR Magazine (translation by Google), Infos at PetaPixel, Video from CP+ 2015 at News STC (youtube))
XF 27mm F2.8 product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,34 m - Magnification: 1:10 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 39 mm - Diameter: 61,2 mm - Length: 23 mm - Weight: 78 g - Price (approx.): €350/$250
The smallest and lightest X-Mount lens, apart from the bodycap filter lens. Optically not perfect, but still quite good when stopped down (most say from f/4 downwards). Has no aperture ring. Has a slightly noisy autofocus motor, in contrast to the virtually silent linear motors used in most other lenses. (Reviews at Tom Grill, Stephen Ip, photozone , LensTip)
XF 35mm F2.0 R WR product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,35 m - Magnification: 1:7.4 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 43 mm - Diameter: 60 mm - Length: 46 mm - Weight: 170 g - Price (approx.): €400/$400
Weather resistant normal prime lens. Designed for rangefinder cameras. It's short and gets narrower to the front, so it does not stick into the viewfinder frame. (Reviews at IvanJoshuaLoh, lenstip and FujiRumors (by Rico Pfirstinger) )
XF 35mm F1.4 R product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,28 m - Magnification: 1:5.88 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 52 mm - Diameter: 65 mm - Length: 54,9 mm - Weight: 187 g - Price (approx.): €590/$400
One of the original three prime lenses from the beginning of the X-System. Very sharp in the center, mediocre corner sharpness wide open gets a lot better when stopped down from F/1.4 through F/8. Anyway, a good normal prime lens for the X-System. Only downside seemed to be the slow-ish autofocus, but that was addressed with a firmware upgrade.Has a slightly noisy autofocus motor, in contrast to the virtually silent linear motors used in most other lenses.

The third lens in Fujifilm's lineup of compact, weather resistant prime lenses. Keeps up with the other two. (Reviews at Johannes Morsbach, fstoppers and caveira photography)
XF 56mm F1.2 R product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,7 m - Magnification: 1:11.11 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 62 mm - Diameter: 73 mm - Length: 70 mm - Weight: 405 g - Price (approx.): €1000/$900
The 85mm fullframe equivalent portrait prime in the lens lineup. As tested by Admiring Light, quite close to perfect. (Reviews at Admiring Light, Nathan Elson, Olaf Photoblog, Jonas Jacobsson)
XF 56mm F1.2 R APD product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,7 m - Magnification: 1:11.11 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 62 mm - Diameter: 73 mm - Length: 70 mm - Weight: 405 g - Price (approx.): €1300/$1200
Same as above, but with built in apodization filter (radial, gradual neutral density filter that gets darker towards the corners) to smoothen out the bokeh at the expense of lens brightness. Instead of f/1.2, the maximum light transmissivity is equivalent to t/1.7. This effect is neutralized at f/5.6. A very unique portrait prime, but it does not support phase detection autofocus. (Comparison between APD and non-APD version at Fuji vs. Fuji)
XF 60mm F2.4 R Makro product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,27 m - Magnification: 1:2 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 39 mm - Diameter: 64,1 mm - Length: 70,9 mm - Weight: 215 g - Price (approx.): €600/$450
One of the original three prime lenses from the beginning of the X-System, and the first macro lens, although the maximum magnification is only 1:2. It is very sharp, but has really slow autofocus. Works well for portraits and stationary subjects like product photography or flowers. When approaching living subjects like bugs, the focal length, and thus the close focus distance, might be too short. Has a slightly noisy autofocus motor, like the XF 27mm F2.8 and the XF 35mm F1.4 R. (Reviews at ishootshows, daisuki photo, The Phoblographer)
XF 80mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,25m - Magnification: 1:1 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 62 mm - Diameter: 80 mm - Length: 130 mm - Weight: 750 g - Price (approx.): €1300/$1200
The first native 1:1 macro lens for the X-system. This is an impressively sharp lens with a very well working optical stabilizer. The AF is quick, even in the macro range, and does not hunt much.
XF 90mm F2.0 R LM WR product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,6 m - Magnification: 1:5 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 62 mm - Diameter: 75 mm - Length: 105 mm - Weight: 540 g - Price (approx.): €900/$950
A pretty outstanding short telephoto prime lens, if you like the focal length. (Reviews at Jonas Rask, macfilos; Comparison with the XF 56mm F1.2 R at Tools & Toys)
Zoom Lenses (12 lenses)
XC 15-45mm F3.5-5.6 OIS PZ product page

First powerzoom lens for Fujifilm X-Mount cameras.
XC 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OIS product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,3 m - Magnification: 1:6.67 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 58 mm - Diameter: 62,6 mm - Length: 65,2 mm - Weight: 195 g - Price (approx.): €320/$340
The cheapest zoom lens for the X-Mount, intended as a standard zoom kit lens for the cheaper entry level bodies. No aperture ring, no switch for OIS. Quite small and light. Compared to the XF 18-55mm F/2.8-4.0 R LM OIS, it sacrifices about one stop of light through the whole focal length range, as well as 5mm of focal length at the long end, but gains important 2mm of wide angle. (Reviews at Admiring Light, Imaging Resource)
XC 16-50mm II F3.5-5.6 OIS product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,15 m - Magnification: 1:7 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 58 mm - Diameter: 62,6 mm - Length: 65,2 mm - Weight: 195 g - Price (approx.): €--/$--
New version, bundled with the new Fujifilm X-A2. Better build quality, closer minimum focus distance.
XC 50-230mm F4.5-6.7 OIS product page
Close Focus Distance: 1,1 m - Magnification: 1:5 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 58 mm - Diameter: 70 mm - Length: 111 mm - Weight: 375 g - Price (approx.): €250/$400
This cheap telephoto zoom lens is a bit smaller and quite a bit lighter than the XF 55-200mm F/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS and has no aperture ring. But depending on the intended use, the slower aperture range needs to be taken into consideration. (Reviews at macingosh, riflessifotografici; Comparison with the XF 55-200 F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS at Colin Nicholls)
XC 50-230mm II F4.5-6.7 OIS product page
Close Focus Distance: 1,1 m - Magnification: 1:5 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 58 mm - Diameter: 69,5 mm - Length: 111 mm - Weight: 375 g - Price (approx.): €--/$--
New version, bundled with the new Fujifilm X-A2. Better optical stabilization than the predecessor (3.5 stops instead of 3 stops)
XF 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,45 m - Magnification: 1:3.7 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 67 mm - Diameter: 75,7 mm - Length: 97,8 mm - Weight: 490 g - Price (approx.): €800/$750
Fuji's take on a weather resistant always-on travelzoom. Optically, it seems to be good for what it is, but the aperture range does not impress, which is of course a compromise for smaller size and lower weight. (Reviews at Dan Bailey, Admiring Light, The Phoblographer)
XF 18-55mm F2.8-4.0 R LM OIS product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,3 m - Magnification: 1:6.67 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 58 mm - Diameter: 65 mm - Length: 70,4 mm - Weight: 310 g - Price (approx.): €700/$600
Is said to be the standard zoom "kit" lens for the X-Mount. My experience says, it's much better than the usual APS-C kit lens. Rather comparable to the f/4 L kit lenses canon sells with its full frame cameras. The aperture range is good, the size and weight is perfect, optical image stabilization works very well, and the lens is sharp. Really nothig to complain, especially since it comes at about 350-400€ when bought as a kit. (Reviews at Mark Schueler, photomadd, la RO QUE)
XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS product page
Close Focus Distance: 1,1 m - Magnification: 1:5.56 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 62 mm - Diameter: 75 mm - Length: 118 mm - Weight: 580 g - Price (approx.): €670/$550
This lens does not have the reach of the cheaper XC 50-230mm F/4.5-6.7 OIS, but with an aperture range from 3.5 to 4.8 it is a lot brighter, and therefore much more usable for the common telephoto applications (a.k.a. wildlife). Very compact when collapsed, and doubles as acceptable macro lens when combined with a +3 diopters achromat. This lens is very sharp wide open, even at the long end. (Reviews at Admiring Light, prophotonut (NSFW), Steeve Marcoux)
XF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR product page
Close Focus Distance:1,75m - Magnification: 1:5.26 - Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 77 mm - Diameter: 95 mm - Length: 210 mm - Weight: 1375 g - Price (approx.): €1800/$1800
An outstanding long telephoto zoom lens, offering 5 stops of optical image stabilization. It is sharper when focused close, but the sharpness at infinity focus can be regained when closing the aperture down to f/8. This lens is compatible with the 1.4x and 2x teleconverter. With the 2x teleconverter attached, all current camera models lose phase detection autofocus and have to use contrast detection autofocus. (Reviews at Bill Fortney, Admiring Light, Mindshard part 1 part 2 and Glazer's Camera)
XF 10-24mm F4.0 R OIS product page
Close Focus Distance: 0,24 m - Magnification: 1:6.25 - Aperture Blades: 7 (rounded) - Filter Thread: 72 mm - Diameter: 78 mm - Length: 87 mm - Weight: 410 g - Price (approx.): €950/$850
The widest lens in the Fujinon X-Mount lineup. Nothing bad to say about this one, too. (Reviews at Leigh Miller, Alik Griffin, photography life, photomadd)
XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR product page

The pro-oriented standard zoom lens. Very good build and image quality, but also very big, heavy and expensive compared to the XF 18-55mm F/2.8-4.0 R LM OIS. The 2mm shorter focal length at the wide end, as well as the fixed aperture and the weather sealing might be the decisive factors for buying this lens instead of the XF 18-55mm F/2.8-4.0 R LM OIS, which in turn has optical image stabilization.

The pro-oriented medium telezoom lens. The image quality of this lens is beyond question, but it's the biggest, heaviest and also most expensive lens apart from the new 100-400. It is compatible with the 1.4x and 2x teleconverters. Cameras retain phase detection autofocus with this lens and the 2x teleconverter attached. (Reviews at Dan Bailey, Jonas Rask)

A lot more expensive than its direct competitor, the Samyang 12mm 2.0, which is even one full stop faster. The Samyang does not have autofocus, but at those short focal lengths, the depth of field is very large anyway, and Fujifilm cameras have focus peaking to aid manual focussing.

The fastest lens for the Fuji X-Mount, as well as the fastest CSC-Lens overall. Very long close focus distance, big, heavy, extremely expensive. A lot of purple fringing, and not extremely sharp.

Composer Pro with interchangeable optics product page
Diameter: -- mm - Length: -- mm - Weight: -- g - Price (approx.): € -- /$180
Tilt adapter for several lenses produced by Lensbaby. By moving the front part of the lens, you move the "focus point" (sweet optics) or "focus slice" (edge optics) across the frame, which will be the only part of the picture that is sharp, while everything else gets blurred. Of course, you could replicate most of those effects in post, but why bother when you can do it in camera. (Reviews at Fstoppers, The Phoblographer, FujiLove, photofocus, dpreview, SLR Lounge)

It's a long telephoto, but it's also a reflex design. And the (fixed) aperture is a bit slow. Pictures don't look sharp and show a lot of CA. It has very special ring-shaped out of focus highlights which are inherent to the design of reflex lenses.

Lens Chart
The lenses' maximum aperture plottet over their focal length and the resulting diagonal angle of view. The scale is double logarithmic.
Please note that the denoted angle of view is only valid for rectilinear lenses, fisheye lenses have a wider angle of view at the same focal length, which is inherent to their design.

Well, at least the XF 56 does not show as much CA as the Canon!
But to get serious: This looks strange to me. I've looked at your images and noticed some things.
First: The iris in the Canon image is about 137 pixels in diameter, while the irides in the Fuji images are about 107 pixels in diameter. And while bigger images usually look better, and I'm confident that this fact is a part of the difference in perceived sharpness (but for sure not THAT difference), there is also another thing about it: The linear resolution of the 6D is about 12% higher than the X-T1's, but the iris is about 30% bigger. So you were closer when shooting with the Canon than you were with the Fuji.
Which brings me to the second point: I don't know how many images you took with the 56 or how the whole images look since you gave us only those crops, but could it be possible that the focus was not on the eye? I'm not implying that you are not able to focus right, but we all know about the quirks of the Fuji bodies regarding focusing. It would help if you tried to shoot something static. I know that's not the same as photographing real faces, but it will take the human factor out of the equation for this lens comparison.
In the end, I guess it's a combination of all those factors. Different resolution, different distance to subject, RAW developer handling the files different, and so on. You might download the free trial of Capture One to see if the Fuji images get better. But if it does not get better, I'd return the XF 56mm F1.2 R, because even pictures taken with my XF 27mm F2.8 at f/2.8 are sharper than what you showed.
P.S.: I don't see the images 4&5.
I'd personally recommend to buy XF23mm for it's price. X100s is totlaly different camera to X-T10. Different controls position, hand grip, buttons customization, menu customization.
When I had X-E1 it was not dramatic difference with X100s, but still significant for me enough to decide return to single camera + few lens option.
One more point. With a habit of wearing 2+ lens, X100s made me to buy and try Wide/Tele convertors. Which is increasing budget, but can't compete ergonomically with X-T10 + corresponding lens.
A few images taken using the Lee filter system (full size) on my XF14mm lens have featured a curious semicircular artefact. I thought at first it was flare but on closer inspection I've realised it is reflections of the lettering on the front lens flange. An example is attached - I've bumped up the contrast to make them more obvious.
There is (hopefully) an easy fix to this. I've applied some black tape to cover up the white letters. Checking through there EVF this seems effective but I'll try it on my next shoot and see how it goes. I haven't seen the problem with my other Fujifilm lenses (18-135 and 35 f1.4).
If anyone has encountered it before I'd like to hear their experiences and fixes if appropriate.
Technically it's possible, just requires accurate measurements and operations with metal. I've modified few adapters before following similar idea.
That M42-FX adapter is a single piece. First step is to create 4 holes for mount screws in exact same positions as on EOS-M mount plate.
Second step is to reduce adapter thickness by flat metal grinder (about 1-3mm). It have to be mounted on lens to check if the thickness fits Focus Distance scale.
I was just slowly reducing plate thickness by 0.1mm step, and trying it each time on lens until Focus Distance perfectly reflected real distance from object to Fuji sensor.
Just saw on eBay "BRASS M42 flange Fuji FX Adapter" for $10.
It will require some metal work, but can be converted to proper mount part to replace EOS-M on your Ibelux lens.
Wish I could. I had ordered for the Fujifilm X-mount but the lens I got is for Canon EF-M mount. A shipping error by Amazon. Was hoping to get it replaced but Amazon is "out-of-stock"on the FX mount version. I don't think it will be replenishing because they have cancelled my replacement order and refunded all my money with the instructions that they don't want the lens to be returned. I tried it on a borrowed Canon EOS-M3 for a few hours. Did not have an EVF to nail focus. But images just looked really poor on the LCD.
Anyways, I'll keep the lens if I can use it with my Fujifilm X-T1, Nikon Df or Leica M-P, but haven't been able to find an adapter. Perhaps the actual mount on the lens can be replaced from EF-M to FX. Tried to trade-in--B&H declined to take the lens, Adorama offered $200 store credit, and KEH hasn't replied. I have it on eBay (no watchers) and on Craigslist.
Well, I was thinking similar way about SLR Magic 50mm 0.95 first day I tried. I paid about $950 for it year ago.
Reduced contrast, blurry frame borders, soft focus. But that was just first impression.
I had to spend few months until I learned how to master that lens for great shots.
Looks like Ibelux 40mm is not an exception. Like all super-fast lens it needs practice and patience.
A real pro level flash for Fuji is still rather elusive, I do not think any of us could give you a concrete answer on that part.
Although there are viable alternative, if TTL is no needed. Yongnuo is rather nice on a X-T1 and works just as good as any manual flash and cost a fraction of the price of the SB800 or SB900 from Nikon.
Nissin i40 seems like a solid second flash if you need one. TTL seems to be working with the Fuji system, but it has some clunky dials and the joints can be a bit loose, but it does have the advantage of delivery as much light as much larger flash and cost moderately nice.
One reason why no one fills the niche could be that there are so many under water cases for all kind of cameras at very reasonable prices available. In same cases you may be lucky that your next generation camera may fit in your existing case. I know it is not the same as the Nikon RS but the many UW cases make the niche much smaller.
Bulldog mentioned JAL screwdrivers. I looked them up and the closest I could find is JIS screwdrivers. JIS stands for Japanese Industrial Screwdrivers or something close to that. They have a slightly different head than Phillips screwdrivers and are supposed to prevent cam outs in Japanese screws that happen when you use a Phillips.
Bah... Can't be worse than what Nikon did with the D600 and its oily/dusty sensor.
A friend of mine who went for a D600 last year, after Nikon's announcement in March noticed the issue during a trip in the US, he wasn't aware of the problem to begin with and just went to get the camera changed in a local Nikon shop, he was refused service from Nikon US and again back in Belgium. I had to use my Gold NPS status to push things around and get the camera fixed.
As long as there are expectations and deadline, companies will push to get there even if it means rushing things. The video game industry is a perfect exemple of rushed products by release date and slowly fix them for the next 6 months or so.
So yes, they messed up but still came out clean about it and offered a way to correct that in a temporary way before offering a real fix later on. Not really pretty sign, but still a lot better than most of the manufacturers out here.
I own the Rokinon 85mm f1.4. I bought it a year ago or so, since the Fuji 90mm wasn't available at that time.
Pro: distinctive look and feel of the image (if you like it)
Con: (1) it's huge and heavy, (2) colors need post processing, mostly too flat, less contrasty, and it stays that way even when stepped down, (3) chromatic abberation is quite obvious.
I would not especially recommend this lens, since Fuji has now better options available. The Rokinon gets the job done, but requires some skills, patience in post processing and will always be the heaviest lens in your bag.
I used a bit similar glass - SLR Magic 50mm 0.95 for about half year. It was great lens, but a little heavy for me. I've got many great looking portraits, especially kids from top perspective. I has nicely reduced contrast and beautiful bokeh. It's also awesome for BW shots. I like the build and step-less aperture ring. Later I sold the lens and switched to more compact (and cheaper) Voigtlander 40mm 1.4 S.C that has quite similar picture character.
I think it's good idea to try Ibelux 40mm. It will take a time to get use to so wide aperture, but you'll learn great skill finally. I used Zoom focus, because focus peaking was not always precise enough.
It's a know difference of Fuji Color Profiles on different cameras. You can see that from DPreview tests
Fuji had a bit wider DR (-6 : +3.5) on cameras: X-Pro1, X100, X-E1
Now Fuji has more narrow DR (-4 : +4) on cameras: X100T, X-E2, X-T1, X-T10
That's why you see darker tones for same Provia profile.
DPreview comments on that:
"The X-T1 offers around 4EV of highlight range, with a relatively gentle roll-off at the top rather than an abrupt clip to white. This gives a quite natural-looking, 'flim-like' response. At the other end of the range, though, it dips down rather abruptly to black, which gives distinctly punchy images but does mean that shadows are somewhat prone to blocking up."
I'm having similar disappointment, but trying to resolve it by:
1. Tune Color Profile tweaks
2. Overexpose +0.3EV
3. Use DR200

I've noticed interesting behavior in FW 4.20 , but I assume FW 4.21 has the same.
If you use Electronic Shutter then you can switch ISO dial to L / H1 / H2 and still shoot in RAW . It will just be recorded with ISO200 (it highlights that value with yellow).
I've quickly checked if that "LCD-to-Camera" cable is available on eBay, but found there only LCD screen part (costs like half price of XF 27mm ! ).
Good thing I see there is that X-T1 LCD part has very short cable, which means it connects inside of screen box to some bridge.
So it seems that the "LCD-to-Camera" ribbon cable is a separate part and should cost relatively low (like for Fujifilm Finepix HS28EXR).
The main cost will probably take the replacement procedure.
To get the best results to tighten them is to use JAL screwdrivers. They look light Pozi or Philips, but they are not. I have in the past messed up many camera screws using Philips or Pozi drive screwdrivers. Then I discovered JAL Screwdrivers
I can't say now how it worked in firmware 4.20 because I already "upgraded" to 4.21, but regarding this "Instant AF Setting in manual focus" issue, independently of what one sets in AE/AF-LOCK MODE menu item ("AE&AF ON WHEN PRESSING" or "AE&AF ON/OFF SWITCH"), it works in the same way, locking only when pressing, and unlocking after releasing the AF-L button, as if this menu item was ever in "AE&AF ON WHEN PRESSING". At least mine is working in this way now.
I'm sure Fuji performed excellent testing level on the fw4.20 . Just take into account that every fw file grows in size, and amount of features and possible combinations as well.
So each release it requires more and more testing.
I'm also proud of Fuji doing that for free, investing a lot of time and effort.
Only such a minor bug discovered in 5 days by thousands of people. Fantastic! : )
I don't know how many people test Fuji fw, but they did really great job, and I feel very confident about fw4.20 .
