Hi ,

I have bought a Fuji X-T100 with a Rokinon 12mm manual lens. I am getting used to manual focsing.

When I set the focus ring to 1m and use focus peaking to check on a subject 1m away it doesn't show me as focused. I have to turn the focus ring further to the infinity side to get the focus on the subject. I was using F2.

Is my camera or lens has a flaw or is this normal?

Focus peaking doesn't work very well on the XT100, especially in lower light. I'm hoping this issue is addressed in the XT200.

Wow, I was just out the other day with my manual Sigma 90mm on the XT100 and was thinking how great the peaking is and how much better it is than on my XE1 bodies.  That highlighted red was just popping out so easy to see it was blowing me away?  So manual focus on it for me is just wonderful.  No focus peaking on any camera would be as good in low, indoors light I would think, that's no knock on the Xt100 to me.
