Those are nice, and I am familiar with the 12mm. I have and use the Voightlander 15mm on the X-Pro1 regularly. I love much about the XP1, but I'm not getting the sharp images I expected, especially from a camera with no anti-aliasing filter. Starting to wonder if it's just my copy.I've heard others say that the 18mm is not up to par with the 35 & 60 but I just have not encountered issues with it. I often shoot wide so I am looking into the Voigtlander ULTRA WIDE-HELIAR 12mm F5.6 Aspherical
Take a look at this group of photos taken with it: Voigtlander ULTRA WIDE-HELIAR 12mm F5.6 Aspherical - a set on Flickr
And also this one: Voigtlander Heliar Ultra Wide-Angle 12mm f/5.6 Lens and the Fuji X Pro 1 | Mark Hilliard Atelier's Blog
It's a pricey lens but from what I have seen online it works great with the X-Pro1 and results in an actual 18mm field of view.
Love the textures in this one, David. Well seen and captured.Lovely work Jim!
One from yesterday in East Linton.
The old sign form the Drifters Inn.
Maybe post some examples so we can see what you are seeing? Post at least 1200 pixel wide.I love much about the XP1, but I'm not getting the sharp images I expected, especially from a camera with no anti-aliasing filter. Starting to wonder if it's just my copy.
Me too - I have both and as good as the 35mm is I actually really like the rendering of the 18mm too.I have to say that I really like draw of 18mm lens even more so than 35mm.
I know it's been said that resolution is not the greatest, but it sure has some character. I wonder how the new zoom will perform.
I'm wondering the same, I'm very happy with the 35/60 pair, have an x100 I use at the wide end, but I just had a nice professional milestone and I'm in line for a present to myself -- vacillating between the 18mm, the zoom (maybe together with the XE1 as a second body) or the 14mm .Lots of great pictures in this thread, I enjoyed looking thru them.

X-Pro1 with the 58mm Rokkor f/1.2
Fuji, Please Give Us Focus Peaking
I wanted to do an available light portrait in B&W for an online forum thread. This is what I came up with. The Minolta Rokkor lenses do a wonderful job. The only problem is my old eyes need assistance in obtaining critical focus, especially when you are dealing with fast glass and a shallow depth of field as in this shot. The X-Pro1 needs Focus Peaking. There are so many great manual focus legacy lenses available for next to nothing... and Fuji does not yet have a full spectrum of lenses. Many, like myself, have opted to use legacy glass to fill the gap. The EVF magnification is good but Focus Peaking would be so much better.
