WOW. The "Fun with the X-Pro1" thread is seven pages long and no one has bought on yet!

>I know if I only have one lens to work with, I want it a bit longer.

Yes, and for me that lens would be a zoom :). Lets wait to see how good the X Pro1 image quality is in comparison to the NEX-7.
Uwe - a man after my own heart. If you're out to get the image, then a zoom is the answer - even if there are IQ compromises.

I think your images rather prove the point!

Apologies for asking. Have you posted any images here (this site)?

I am sorry, I have not seen any.

I have posted some images in the "Fun with MF," and couple in "Fun with the 645D," and a few other threads to show examples. I also posted in the Favorite Image of 2011 in the Leica forum even though it was not with a Leica--but others had done that before me.

The only thing I have on this computer is a granite thin section--color is from DIC (Differential Interference Contrast) technique, granite can be rather dull otherwise. But that is probably of little interest to the X-Pro! crowd.

Thanks for that!

This is really lovely! :thumbs:

The granite mosaic image is fine as well although it rings no bells for me.

I would rather not characterize anyone (including yourself) who have posted in this thread. It isn't a crowd and if you had read through the posts you yourself have answered to, you would know that it is certainly not an X Pro 1 crowd. :)

Vivek, thanks.

How does the expression go? Even the atheists are Christian; after all, it is a Christian god they don't believe in...

Him that doesn't sound right. I mean afaik they also don't believe in Isis, Shiva, Zeus, Apollo, Yukiyú, Quetzatcoalt, Thor and I think a few(ha!) others... What's does that make them then? Oh, atheists ;-)

Sorry, the I was eluding to the folks here are all part of the X-Pro1 crowd even if they are not impressed by the camera as it is the X-Pro1 they making a reference too.

Cool. It's a good analogy with flawed logic (not the analogy but the saying). Haven't seen such thing in a while ;-)

All I want is for someone to be able to adapt these lenses to the NEX body.
I haven't checked, but one of the comments is that having no AA filter allowed Fuji to reduce the registration distance between the rear of the lens and the sensor - doesn't sound likely that these lenses would fit the NEX.

Also unlikely to work since the lenses are focus by wire.

The NEX will allow the use of these lenses, in principle, ie., the rear element will not hit the shutter.

However, lens corrections for aberrations would have been already built in (glass- hardware and not the e chips) to account for the lack of AA plus the actual thickness of the UV/IR cut filter that Fuji put on the sensor.

Also unlikely to work since the lenses are focus by wire.

Brian
This fly-by-wire business means no other camera adaptations unless one hacks the electronics of the lenses as well.

Perhaps one day, people will be connected enough to be able to commission their own 'open camera' system... to do away with these closed system constructs designed to lock users in.

... Or maybe buy a camera company and give them a design brief!

Fuji should study the focus by wire Olympus Digital ED 12mm f2 lens for features its XF lenses should have: http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/olympus_m_zuiko_digital_ed_12mm_f_2_review/ :bugeyes:
