A quick headsup with the Viltrox adapter. Years ago, I hacked a Canon 10-18mm to make it fit, which it did. However, one day, I took it out my bag and was getting some really crazy lens flares. Turned out, the back lens element was touching the glass in the adapter when at around 12mm. In my bag, it cracked the glass in the Viltrox, and I learned there's a pretty good reason the combo didn't work without being hacked. So if you get any EFs lenses, be careful - or you'll end up with a one of a kind, megaflare adapter (I've used it a few times since because of the 'creative flaring', so it's not all bad) This photo is from the moment I noticed something was wrong. Luckily, it was on my GX85 at the time, which I was using for behind the scenes stills. So nothing was lost or ruined in a 'professional' sense. -
Defintely check out and test the rotating thumbdial on the back. It's not specific to the FP, but I've bought second hand cameras where those things became glitchy and register as spinning one way when you spin it the other. Or flip flop between left and right if you rotate it too fast. It's probably not going to be an issue, but is the only thing I'd double check on top of what you said already. Maybe also look for damage on the pin connectors used for the EVF by the ports.

Thanks! The colour part of the emulation (which has the rolloff in it) is just a preset in the Resolve Film Look Creator (IIRC the Fujifilm one, but if not that one then it'll be the Kodak one). Other parts of the emulation I've had to go DIY and disable those parts of the FLC, but no-one has said anything bad about the colour profile so that seems to be good. Thanks! I was just thinking about where it's at and next steps and I realised that there are a few things I hadn't done yet, but feedback suggests that it's fine how it is, so that's amusing. One of the things I had noted was that apparently the size of the grains is different in the shadows vs highlights, so I was thinking about different ways to implement that, but maybe I just won't bother! -
Got it! It was just quite stiff, and the technique is to take a microfibre cloth and to grip the element from both sides pressing in on the glass elements themselves to turn it. Foolishly I wasn't using the full surface of the glass! I swear I could feel the surface of the glass bend slightly to get enough traction to get the lens to move, but it seems to have worked, and I now have slightly past infinity focus. I can adjust it to dial it in but I'm curious to see if that's enough clearance for the Takumar and M42-EF adapter, so will try that tomorrow and see how I go. Damn the Zeiss is a highly engineered object though!

I watched the same video, but he rotates his with his fingers and I put little dents in the ends of my fingers trying and failing to get it to move. Also of note is he seems to have the EF-M2 and I have the EF-M2II (the second version of the EF-M2).
