HI Luggers,
At Shogun Camera, Lock Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, owner Denny Cheung sold me a 
Nikon F to Fuji X Metabones adapter.
This will let me use my few remaining Leica R lenses already re-bayoneted to 
Nikon F mounts on my Fuji X cameras.
I tried a 50mm Nikkor f1.4 on the adapter with the XT 1. I switched the 
focus mode to manual and, imagine my surprised delight,
when I held the camera up to focus and lifted my finger off the shutter 
button - focus peaking was engaged - and it
made achieving sharp focus a snap!!

Here?s Denny, perfectly in focus, and in B&W as processed in CS6

And here?s Denny?s young assistant - the photo processed the same way.

Please look large - C&C always welcome.
