Originally posted by JohannSMac I picked up a Fuji X-E2 from KEH just this past week at a bargain price of under $300. I've got 4 old Asahi SMC Takumars and a Yashica Yashinon all M42 screwmounts. I've also got an old Nikon Nikkor 200mm F mount. I'll be adapting all of these to the Fuji. So far playing with a couple of the lenses I've gotten amazing results! Going through the menu system of the Fuji and setting it all up now. It's really an amazing camera and I expect to be posting some pictures soon.

Great results! I've just recently picked up a used X-E2 and am in the process of setting it up. Excited to adapt the old M42 Screwmount lenses along with an older Nikon Nikkor I have. I especially like the one shot with the leaf!
Welcome to club Fujifilm X!!
Do your M42 Yashinons have an A/M switch to be able to stop them down when used on a camera other than an M42 native mount? I have only one Yashinon lens (a 50/1.4) which is very good indeed, but only has auto mode so without some kind of "hack" it can only be used wide open on a non-M42 camera.
Here are a few shots from my recently-acquired 18mm f/2. I'm pretty happy with it so far, though it does seem to struggle to focus more in low light than the 35/1.4. I need to check which firmware it has and update if necessary.
It feels weird to have a wide-angle on the Fuji, I'm used to either 35 or 50mm.
Both night shots were taken wide open.
