I use the BOS Strap (sliding strap) priced at about $60. The strap is attached to the strap holder on the left side of the camera and not to the tripod screw hole. This allows the quick release to remain on the camera. It also allows the camera to hang at good position on your hip with the lens pointed downward and allows one to get to shooting position quickly. I believe theweb site is www.bosstrap.com. The 1.5" strap is comfortable for hours of shooting. If you insert your right elbow in the strap to stretch it, you can pull the left side of the strap to the left side of the camera and obtain a very good position for hand held shooting. This goes against placing your left hand under the lens but some may find it worth while. It works much better with Auto focus lenses. Thanks.

I am using a Fotodiox adapter for the Pentax A 50MM 1:1.4 lens with the XT 2 and have been very happy with the results. I might also suggest you consider using Peak as your focus assist method. I use the "high red" to determine where I have focused and so far so good. I have a number of Super Taks with the M42 mount adapted to K mounts. I am not sure what adapter will work to adapt these lenses for use with my XT 2- any info would be appreciated. Thanks,
