Thanks George, yeah a pretty good price as just the body usually sells for around that price or higher never mind the proper Fuji grips and Gariz case.
I've ordered the Zhongyi focal reducer / speed booster too as the crop was the main thing I wasn't keen on when I had an XT1 previously. Just had to pay more for expedited shipping as it wouldn't arrive from China in time for my trip to India on Jan 3rd.
Anyone used one of those with Nikon Legacy glass ? Reviews seem favourable, nearly as good as the Metabones one for 1/3 of the price.

Andy, I have a Zhongyi focal reducer in M42 screw mount that I used on my Fuji. Used it with a Helios 58/2 and a Pentax Asahi SMC Takumar 28mm/3.5.
Of course with the characteristics of the Helios it is hard to judge optical quality but with the super sharp Takumar it worked really well.
Overall I was happy with it. It did focus past infinity so I adjusted the optical element so that focus matched the distances on the lens body. A pet peeve of mine
Quality wise I feel it was on par with the Metabones Speedbooster Ultra I used with the F mount glass.
but with the super sharp Takumar it worked really well.
