Does back button focusing work with the Fuji 14mm f2.8?

[retrojim]

I'm contemplating buying a 14mm 2.8 but I'm a back button focuser (can't stand half pressing the shutter for autofocus). Does back button focusing work on the 14mm if you have pulled the focus ring to manual? Or is the best way to do it to leave the focus ring clutch engaged on the 14mm and switch the body to manual?

I do not directly know the answer to your question because I have not tried it with that lens, but this may help:

Scroll down to Method B, it sounds like what you are trying to do.

No, it doesn't work if you have pulled the ring to manual. The 14mm is a sharp lens by the way. You won't be disappointed.

Yes.  Unless it's a manual focus adapted lens, ANY FUJI lens will work w back button focus.  That is more of a camera function than a lens issue -- except, as I said if you use adapted lenses that are manual focus only or if you've pulled the ring on the lens to switch it to manual
