Yea I have that setup and peaking works. I got the 65mm and I absolutely love the quality of it. Especially when you get the right light and distance it's just so buttery smooth and sharp.

I really didn't see much to adjust in the settings but are there any specific settings that should be changed in the 50s ii when it comes to sports? I know the 50s ii isn't made for sports but I did get 2 emails this week where people wanted to photograph boxing and mma stuff. I was just doing this for my own hobby and didn't expect to get contacted for work so quickly and of course it has to be for stuff the 50s ii isn't the best at. I have the 35-70 and a few manual lenses and I'm guessing the 35-70 might not be that fast for action photography. I wanted to get the 50mm 3.5 soon but I've read that the focus in it is really weird and the manual focus part of it isn't that usable. If anyone has any tips I'd love to hear them!

I used to do photography about 10-15 years ago and as full time for a year or two. Shot for some big brands and unfortunately I had a health issue which completely derailed my entire life. Now I'm finally getting back into photography and I've been in love with the 50s ii pics I've been seeing. Just bought one this week, with a Fuji 35-70 and Mitakon 65mm lens. I'm not sure if I got a bit too excited and I'm seeing the flaws in the system so I'm trying to get some help in a forum like this and I really want to stick with it but I'm also in the mindset of maybe having to sell this in the future if I can't get over the few small negatives with this system. I do have my sisters wedding this summer in Jamaica and I really would love to bring the 50s ii over there and take landscape photos and portrait photos for people in the wedding. I really think the 50sii and Mitakon are going to a perfect match in that type of setting. But I also hope I can help others on this forum too!

I know, I know it's a medium format camera, but I love the Helios m42 lenses on the GFX 50s ii and they aren't medium format lenses. I have a Fuji GFX 50s ii that I just bought and recently bought a Mitakon 65mm lens which is built like a tank.I love the lens but it's extremely heavy for me. Big side note is that I have nerve damage on my left arm & I've been out of photography a bit before I ended up with it. I bought the gfx50s ii with lenses without realizing just how bad the pain was going to be with the heavier lenses. The other option is that I may have to sell my 50sii which I really don't want to do. I'm trying to figure out what brands may have the best autofocus/lightweight glass out there to adapt to my 50s ii. I'm also trying to keep in mind with those lenses if I do have to sell the 50s ii I will have to decide wether to stay with Fuji or with another brand. I just don't know if theres a huge difference between all the lenses. Like how much autofocus matters between the lens you use, adapter and then the camera itself. Or if all it mostly relies on the adapter and camera,etc.
