Hi, I'm considering using exclusively old manual focus lenses with my X-E3. I know what I would be letting myself in for, as I've shot a lot with them in the past. I currently only have a Pentacon 50mm 1.8 (cheap but good!) ... But would want to buy more. I only have an XF 35mm f2, which I would sell if I could make a final decision on this. So I just wanted to know if a) anybody else shoots with only MF lenses, and b) if anybody wants to buy my XF 35mm?!! Thanks

Hi. My lovely X-E3 has a problem. Sometimes when I press the shutter (fully press it, to take a photo!) there is a significant delay before the shutter fires. A delay of around 1.5 seconds. Enough to miss the shot, should my subject happen to be on the move. I am using mostly the 18mm f/2. I have tested the lens on a borrowed X-Pro1 and it works 100% - so it's not the lens. I think the problem happens around 25% of the time, enough to be very annoying. Has anyone else experienced something like this before? If so, what did you do about it? Thanks.
