And more generally, how do you deal with the parallax? When I tried an X100T a while ago, I kept missing focus on headshots particularly. How can you tell from the OVF whether the camera focused on the head, instead of the background?

With non chipped lenses - well the camera does not know the distance so cannot parallax correct the OVF.

If Fujifilm had installed a rangefinder cam in the M Mount Adapter, the frame lines could adjust for parallax (and image size?) automatically. It's a bit late to expect this now, but perhaps one of the enterprising new independent manufacturers could make one?
