I've thrown 6 m-mount lenses (and the fuji 35mm 1.4) onto this camera.

The page does show examples of those lenses on the M9.my question is, how does the Fuji output compare to Leica output using those lenses?
Agree, and for two different reasons; precise manual focus as it is implemented with the available FW is quite difficult to achieve and not only for the absence of focus peaking but also because using the given magnification the image available in the EVF is not stable enough (insufficient refresh rate?).From what I see, Fuji X Pro 1 is a no go for Leica glass. That's too bad. GXR-M is a way to go for a non Leica route right now, it seems.
The R glass would work great on the X-Pro1, as pretty much any other SLR glass.When I use Leica R glass on either Nikon or Canon DSLR I can see the signature of the lens immediately and the resolution is superb . This was true with even the D700 a 12MP sensor .
Ok I see we are looking at entirely different aspects of the tests . I don t worry about edge sharpness with adapted lenses on APS C size sensors . My preference is to just use the M9 . I know this is important to many who are looking for an alternative to the Leica M . Its always been my understanding that edge sharpness will suffer with adapted lenses because the sensor does t have the micro lenses necessary to handle the extreme angles inherent in the M wide angles . This seems to be a common problem with most of the new cameras .Hi Roger
The jpegs are just the same (one is included from the Zeiss Biogon 21mm) so I doubt Silkypix is at fault (the same standard settings were used for all pictures save that noise reduction was turned off).
There is also a set in the test from the Fuji 35mm 1.4 on the was launched with the camera and is streets ahead of all the others lenses in this test.
The only other explanation is that the adapter is faulty, but it's odd that the centres are ok and all 4 edges/corners mushy.
There is one simple way to rule out any errors in these tests - someone just needs to put an adapter on their Fuji, shoot their Leica lens wide open and get sharp edges. I would be delighted !
