My Ricoh grll is good for street photography, but I prefer my XT20 with the 27mm lens. Nobody sees me.

Ok, I'm new at parts of this, so please, cut me a little slack....
Gear info:  Fujifilm X-Pro1, 50mm f/2 Leitz Summitar, shortest (10mm? Not sure, I can't read Russian) LTM extension tube.  ISO 200, f/11, 1/40th, -1 stop EV.
Image info:  I'd shot pretty much this same (series of) image(s) half an hour or so before, then imported the set into LR.  The plan was to shoot 5 images then stack, align and blend the bunch in PS, so I did.  Made for a pretty decent image overall, but I noticed two serious problems:  first, the closer-most elements (the moonflower seeds) were not in focus, and second, I finally saw the 'worms' others have described as being a problem with X-Trans images, and knew this would not stand.  So, I took the tray of 'Fall Harvest' moonflower pods back outside and re-shot them, but this time increasing the subject-to-camera ratio very slightly, decreased exposure by a stop, and re-shot two sets of seven images to stack.  Upon completion of that, I returned to my computer and imported the shots with the new Fuji-dedicated (Lite) version of Capture One.  Voila!  No worms!  And what I wanted in focus was indeed in focus.  I then proceeded to stack and process (tweaks in LR and Topaz Studio) the image to the result you see here.
A question, however:  As mentioned, I'm new to Fuji.  As such, Focus Peaking is new to me, and I'm finding I sometimes undershoot an area of (what I want to be) critical focus.  Does anyone have any manual, non-Fuji glass focusing tips they'd be so kind as to pass along to me?  I'm all for learning by trial and error, but jeez.....  
 

Hello all.
Registered since a few months, I didn’t take opportunity to present myself.
At 61, I considered myself as a young senior. I stopped working in June of this year and made to myself a nice retirement present, a Fuji X-T20 with the 18-55 lens kit. As a young men, I was using a good old Praktica but sadly, did not persevere in this hobby. It’s all a new world for me to discover and I have no intention to renounce this time.
Last month I was in China for a couple of weeks and I discovered the pleasure of street photography.

What a lovely cat. And these eyes... Good pictures btw.

Hey there!
 
I wanted to share with you my pictures of a recent trip to New York. I might have posted some already in other topics, but to be honest, I don't remember which... And I've been reworking everything during the past week, so let's say it's the final version!
 
I value your input, so feel free to comment and criticise!
 
Gear used:
- X100T
- Perhaps 1 or 2 with the X-T1 and 18-135mm
 
Cheers,

Equivalence values are a tradition in photography.
 
They are at least ever since there were cameras around with a sensor smaller than 24 x 36mm, which was the size of the analog film, first invented for the moving pictures cameras and then used by Oskar Barnak when he invented the LEICA camera around the film format in order to use the widely available double perforated film.
 
Conventionally the “ standard lens" value is give by calculating the diagonal, in millimeters, of the format. The les closest to this value is the so called “ standard lens”.
 
Of course once you change the format this values also change but traditions are hard to kill.
 
So people still refer to the values relative to 24 x 36mm (or full format) simply as a mannar to communicate. So the 35mm ( which on a FF would be a medium wideangle) is the “ standard” lens on the APS-C used by Fuji.
 
Really there are some consequences also concerning the relative aperture and sone like to point this out, but frankly this is a rather useless exercise.
 
You are right, it would be better to use another way to talk about lenses like for example the field angular view ( how many degrees of an angle the lens shows) and refer to it alone.
 
But traditions are hard wearing.
 
Of course nowadays there is a generation ( and maybe OP is one) of photographers who were born when film cameras were already gone and don’t even know what a 24mm was on a 35mm film camera.
