Originally posted by BradH I've recently gotten a Fui x-t20 and have been very impressed so far with the handling and image quality.
I have a 15mm limited for my K5-ii and am wondering if anyone has adapted a 15 mm to a fuji x mount and what were your results?
I understand that I would have to get an adaptor with an aperture ring and would lose autofocus but it seems to me with such a short distance to infinity on the 15mm that it wouldn't be very difficult to get used to - anyone with any thoughts or experience doing it?
Thanks,

Hi there, it was OK, I adapted my 15mm for a while; I personally sold my 15mm and got the Fuji 14mm, which is a very good (but more expensive) lens that beats the 15mm, excepting starbursts.
I had an adapter without aperture control. I ended up cutting the head off a zip-tie, and putting this over the top of the aperture control lever in the 15mm lens, eyeballing it to about F5.6, then putting the lens on the adapter. Worked pretty well for a fixed aperture solution. For the focus, as JonMac says, you have a distance scale, and can hyperfocal it (or use magnified focus view to accurately focus.
