Me too! I was waiting for the bag bellows and an ARCA plate for it. The Fuji has 3/8" and 1/4" tripod mounts so I bought at plate that has both. I have a Lowepro backpack that it fits almost like it was made for it. Will try and get out with it tomorrow. After I get some shots I'll start a thread on the GX680.

I am very curious about the lens. I've found 8 shots on Flickr taken with the lens. It is a triplet and stopped down it looks like it is sharp, wide open (f8) it has the soft focus.

Looks just like the ‘strainers’ for a Rodenstock Imagon (soft focus portrait lens). Can you adjust the opening and closing of those holes?Lowball offer on this one that ended up working out.
At F11 the iris covers the mask. I could find very few samples of this lens online. It will be interesting to see what it does. The DOF preview is different on this one, it locks in place and has a button to release it. On my other GX680 lenses they are just spring loaded and return automatically.

Fuji has LF lenses with that in them too. On the LF lenses you can unscrew the front element and take them out,or swap them for different discs, but I don't know if that is possible on the SF190. I think the whole front element does unscrew but haven't tried it yet. The GX680 shutter is basically an electric Copal 1. Some take the elements out of GX680 lens and then rehouse them in Copal 1 shutters.
I don't think there is any other sort of adjustment for them beyond stopping down to f11 which essentially removes the disc anyway. F11 is the same size as the inner hole.

Two pro packs of Kodak Gold 200 in 120 to use in my Rolleiflex this summer, I'm excited. B&H has it for $32 per pro pack.

Elmarit-M 21 2.8 and a 21 finder with fungus and dents on plastic.
opened it and cleaned all the glasses, now it's perfect (except for dent, but nevermind)

I've thought of getting that very lens. Do let us know how you like it!

Sure I will do.
I'm relatively new to this focal, I hope I can find a way to use it properly.

1. "Renewed" Panasonic Lumix S5II (Yay for old/forgotten HSA monies sitting in a state account from old employers! Shhh... don't tell the Mrs!)
2. Lumix 50mm f/1.8 L-mount (Why so big? Why so many elements and groups/complicated for a 50/1.8? Why so spendy? Takes good pics though...)
3. Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 AF-D Micro (Traded in my 85mm f/1,8 G for this -- prefer 105/135 for portraits. Plus a real 1:1 macro lens. Some pretty slick engineering on this thing (read KR's review, goes into detail on the engineering of this beast) -- underrated as a portrait lens imo.
4. Finally, just ordered fro KEH today a $32 Nikkor Q-Auto 135mm f/2.8 AI. (It didn't say AI-converted, and I don't think there were Q-Autos that came out the factory AI. We shall see. If the AI bit was a typo, back it goes. Low cost due to it being "engraved" (who cares?). This completes my "4 element, 4 group Nikkor collection" consisting of 100mm f/2.8 E-series (yeah, I know. It's a "Nikon" not "Nikkor" -- whatever), Nikkor 200mm f/4 Q-Auto, and this 135 Q-Auto...
I just think there's just "something" about how these simple 4 element/4 group old Nikon lenses render. Yes -- more pics will be lost to flare and/or various other CA. They're usually not good (though they can be at times) for contre-jour shooting... but imo modern glass simply doesn't match old, simple optical designs when you nail a photo.
