I don't trust AF for any of those (with manual ly set aperture and shutter speed)

Did you check ISO setting as well. If you lock everything manually, all 5 lenses minus 100cron tested were able to focus correctly either WO or stop down shooting. You have to select S not M for back button focus. (even in focus M mode, Fuji allow you using back button focus but during my limited test case, S mode works way more repeatable and reliable than M mode)

For 180mm, is it show f2.5 or f3.5 on widest setting? 

I havn't the GFX in front of me now, but I will check in a few days time and report back.

However, after looking at the Lightroom archive, I see that I was too soon up with the green ok-flag:

Several of the lenses are listed as taken with S180. So the focal length is not always correctly transferred to the GFX. Perhaps this is a problem with the contacts between the body and adapter, or the adapter and the lens, or with my procedure for changing lenses: Firstly turn the body off, then changing the lenses with the adapter connected to the body, then turning the body on. The lenses then run the usual forth-back focus confirmation loop (or whatever). But the focal lengths may not be correctly transferred. Not so good, since this impacts IBIS. Should I perhaps detach the adapter from the body when changing lenses?

I am on Kipon FW1.2.

More in a few days time...

Quickly tested FW1.3 (on my 100S). Definite improvements. My camera didn't freeze up at all! Sharpness is there. Maybe one more firmware update will iron out all of the kinks?

I'm now happy to list my second adapter so if anyone's interested I'll list it in the Classified section within the next couple of days. I'll update it to FW1.3 before I ship it. £775/USD$995 via Paypal (friends & family or buyer pays any Paypal fees). Shipping & taxes paid by the purchaser.
