I agree with Arthur. The Russian lenses are soft and lens copies have wide variance in quality, chromatic aberration, ghosting, distortion and sharpness. Most of these lenses are sold from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.Two popular Russian lenses are the Helios 44M 58mm f2 (swirly bokeh), and the MIR-1B 35mm. The Jupiter 9 is 85mm and has 15 aperture blades but lens copies have a lot of variance. If you want to experiment with some vintage lenses you could probably get some sweet deals on Takumar M42. The Auto Chinon 55mm f2, Rikenon 58 f2 and Nikkor non-AI 58mm 1.2 produce nice soap bubble bokeh. As for mounting, you could always get and M39-FX adapter from Rainbow Imaging for less than $15.00 If you want to see the characteristics of different lens, just go on Flickr, search the lens you are interested in and view some of the pictures. Hope this helped.

Would you recommend converting imported Fuji images in Lightroom to .dng or just copy the .raf file? Is there a better program for post processing of Fuji files? The reason I ask is because LR lacks most Fuji camera and Lens profiles in the Develop module. Also, the new upgrade of LR which is really slow and buggy ! This has made me realize that perhaps I should start looking at other post processing software that offers better support for Fuji users. Please share your thoughts and experiences.

I looked into the Nissin and Godox flash systems....I decided to go with Godox. Godox price is very reasonable but the deciding factor was that I did not want a giant flash, so I opted for the TT350-F. In addition, I purchased the X1T-F transmitter and a couple of the Godox X1R-N receivers so I could integrate my Nikon speedlights. So far, I have only had my X-T20 for a week, but the camera ROCKS. The detail and colors are spectacular. Thank you for recommending Godox.

I just purchased the X-T20 and I already love this camera. It's a significant upgrade from the X-E1. Mind you, I only had the X-E1 for a couple of months, so I am still learning about the Fuji X system. Will the X-T20 get the new faster focusing algorithm in a firmware upgrade like the X-T2 or does the X-T20 already have it since it is a newer camera? What other firmware updates can we expect from Fuji ? Also, could you recommend an affordable flash system that is capable of HSS?
