Hi everyone,

I am new to the vintage lenses topic and just purchased first M42 adapter from well known K&F Concept - Pro version.
The issue is it seems to be a bit loose while mounted to the X-T10.

Is that normal or it should perfectly fit?
Three very tiny screws are on the adapter - what are they designed for?

I will appreciate any you opinions on that.

Kind Regards,
Arek

Hi , I have the same with some K&F adapters, they wiggle a bit. But then I also have a Fujifilm lens that wiggles the same amount so I tought (hope) it's a normal margin. It does feel better when they sit tight. The one adapter I have from the brand Urth does fit tight.

Regarding the screws, that is not to adjust in case you were wondering.

Are the screws there so you can rotate whatever you're mounting to put the right things (such as aperture or focus scale) on top? The M42 thread itself doesn't have a means to do that -- you screw the lens in and when it's tight, it's tight, no matter where it stops. Maybe you can fudge it a bit, but not a whole rotation's worth. Loosen the screws, orient your mounted lens the way it should be, tighten the screws.

Blue Jays are tricky to get good photos like you have, they tend to fly away as soon as the lens cap comes off 😀.

      I own the Fuji X-T1 and X-H1. I own several Fuji lenses but I tend to use 3rd party vintage manual glass which I find quite enjoyable to use. I'm testing a photo here taken from my Flickr account that showcases the Tokina 100-300mm Zoom lens with 1.4 extender.

      CANNOT BACKUP OR RESTORE X-T4 SETTINGS WITH FUJI X ACQUIRE

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      Forgot to mention another thing. Mine does not work if I plug the USB cord into a USB hub. It only works if I plug the cord into one of the USB ports on my computer itself (an iMac). This surprises me because I think there's a hub built into the computer itself, which is how the computer has multiple USB ports in the first place. I think it was somebody here that suggested I try that -- sorry I don't remember who!

      xPro1 can't change aperture with fujinon 27mm

      On another forum someone suggested spraying some electrical contact cleaner into the wheel but the Fuji tech said that could risk frying the rest of the cameras electrical so I haven't tried that.

      Potential bug in X100VI - C mode, screen going very dark

      By sfainbraun · Posted

      I have an x100VI with 1.01 firmware - did a reset already and didnt solve issue I am about to describe. Can you all see if your camera does this: Switch to C mode, step down to f16 and then press shutter half way. Does your screen go dark? I have tried playing will all settings (have had the following so quite familiar with the menus: x100, x100f, XT-2, X-Pro 2, XT-3) , only happens in C mode. If you find this can you report to Fuji @ digitalinfo@fujifilm.com. They told me they had not seen this before and that it was normal behavior because the shutter is closing, but the shutter closes in S mode as well.
