Yes Steve, I remember you had mentioned this some time ago. I use to have an R80, but I've replaced it with the 75 Lux on account of size. I don't plan on keep the GFX at this point, but if so, I might swap out the 75 for the 80 Lux.
Good to know on the Canon 1.2. Years I shot one, can’t even remember which 1.2 it was, I think non-asph...
Very helpful on the Novaflex adapter. Thanks!
Also, I couldn't hit infinite on my CV 35 1.7, but that street photo I posted above is f8, and everything looks good except the very extreme corners. Loads of vingetting though.
Yeah, I was surprised too on the 31. I haven't tried it at infinite, but it's an awesome FL/speed/size/price rendering on the GFX. Derek (Sebboh) and I and live near, and I have given him my GFX and an assortment of lenses to play with this weekend. He was going to fiddle around with m-adapter and see if we can get it to hit infinite. We are planning on shooting a bunch of lenses we own between us and posting crops. The 31 ltd included. So you'll see soon enough

I have found the Minolta 100/2 is gorgeous on the GFX, and it only hard vingettes very minimally. I love the rendering.
Is this the Minolta MC or the AF lens? I have lately been using the Olympus OM 100 f/2 on the GFX and I like it a lot. For portrait distances at least (I haven't yet tested it at infinity) there is not hard vignette at all and a very nice rendering. I find it a very nice choice.
I owned the Oly 100/2, looooooved that bokeh and MFD. I am using the MIno 100/2 AF. Slight hard vingetting at portrait distance.
I love the look of the CV 35 f/1.7 and it is very good to know that it covers the whole sensor. I have the Novoflex Leica M to Fuji G adapter and it lets me focus to infinity easily (and like almost all Novoflex adapters is actually a little thin). You can always use sandpaper and make your adapter a bit thinner. Since you have had the Minolta MC 58 f/1.2, perhaps you have sanded down that lens (I did the one I had)--it is a similar project with the adapter.
Despite loving my Minolta MC 58 f/1.2 on lower resolution sensors, I prefer the Canon FD 55 f/1.2 Asph that I have now over it. The Canon FD is sharper and interestingly the Asph version of this lens has, IMO, much better bokeh than the non-Asph version. I think it is because with the Asph version Canon backed off from overcorrecting the spherical aberrations compared to the non-Asph version resulting in a lot better bokeh. I still think the Minolta MC 58 f/1.2 has better and unique and special bokeh, but the Canon FD 55 Asph has such better sharpness and still decent bokeh that I prefer it.
You should also probably know that the close cousin to the M 75 lux--the R 80 lux--has no hard vignetting on the GFX and is one of my favorite lenses on the GFX. It is a great alternative and still has the same special rendering as the M 75 lux, which is no surprise as they have almost exactly the same optical formula.

I am really surprised that as a retrofocal lens this seems to cover the sensor and it looks quite good. Have you tried it at infinity distances? It would be interesting to see if it covers there as well and if the corners hold up. For a lens this wide on the GFX (it is a 23mm FF 35mm equivalent if you crop to 4X3 or squarer) I would love to use it for infinity shots if I got it. I am much less interested if it doesn't handle those shots well.
