@Jonathan Mac: My Fotasy adapter doesn't have clicks. (Maybe that's better for video?) I've since discovered that K&F does have clicks, but I can't find a K&F one on Amazon. I see they are on eBay for $37. (I paid $20 for the Fotasy.) I'll have to decide whether to keep the Fotasy or not, but I would prefer clicks.I see that Adorama has a Kipon one for $85, but it doesn't say if it is clicked or not. B&H has a Vello for $56 and a Novoflex for $211 (!), but it's not clear whether those are clicked or not.
Thanks for your comments.
I didn't realise there were ones without clicks but it makes sense - you can use old lenses for video without de-clicking the lenses themselves, just stop the aperture ring down to minimum and control the aperture through the adapter.

You don't really need the clicks, in fact without clicks you're not limited to the seven or eight aperture values that the clicks leave you with, but you run the risk of moving the ring and changing the aperture by accident.

Another one from me from Segovia the other night. I love being able to take hand-held shots like this after dark - f/2 and "only" ISO 1250 with the 35mm f/1.4.

I've had more time to play with the Fujifilm X-T100. Some very nice things and some frustrating/annoying things...

With regards to using it with my Pentax lenses, I discovered that you can get all sorts of weird distortion if you used the electronic shutter. Using the mechanical shutter is necessary.

I'm using the Fotasy Pentax DA > Fuji X adapter. It does not have clicks to close down, so I'm always guessing at how much I've actually closed down on the DA lenses. It does work much better using lenses with aperture rings.
Focusing using peaking is easy, but it is important to use the focus magnifier. It works fine for me using the electronic view finder.
The camera does a great job with SOOC JPGs, but that is mainly the case with the Fuji kit lens. Between adjustments closing down and shooting at -2/3 EV (since the Fuji tends to overexpose during daylight shots), I have run the following through LR to touch things up.
The pics are all from a little trip we took to West Virginia

First three are all using the DA 10-17 FE. The lens and adapter are heavier than the camera, but it is still a rather compact kit. The first two are from Spruce Knob (highest point in WV) and the last is from Seneca Rocks.
Last shot using the F35-70 lens, at f5.6, I believe.

I received my Pentax K to Fuji X mount adapter from K&F Concepts.
I tried my SMC M 28mm /F2.8 yesterday and Im very impressed by the results, and despite The adapter adding some bulkyness, no weight though as it's really lightweight.

It's nice to have Fuji's jpeg's quality with a Pentax lens.

Yes, the film era lenses have rings.

Only FAJ(film era), DA and DFA dont.
