M Lenses on the X-Pro 1, a few results

Further down in the thread, a commenter points out how to use the focus-magnify function. I wish the pictures told you something though. . .
 
Oh boy, I'm a little surprised by the shape of that camera. I was not really interested in the first place but I do not like it very much.
Just my personal opinion.
 
I'm soooo tempted by the Xpro1. I love my x100 for the most part, but this would be so great if focusing is easy enough. It does make the awesome ovf useless I would imagine.
 
Until I see photos of cats and plain brick walls, I am not believing anything I see about this camera! ;)

No -- seriously, it would be nice to see some more stringent test photos. I am curious to see how the X-Pro 1 handles 3rd party lenses. Color-shift with wides ... issues with CA in high-contrast objects ... things like that. Would the X-Pro 1 have any built-in correction for 3rd party lenses? I doubt it.

At any rate, I'm way too tempted to get this camera. It would be nice to have a digital body for my Zeiss and Leica glass. The Fujinon lenses are probably superb on their own merit.

I sold all my M/LTM lenses and doubt I will ever buy another. So i realy don't care.

While the initial results are hardly stringent tests, the big surprise was the CV 15/4 exhibited no red shift.
 
For once, I would love to see someone take "real" pictures. "Real" world usage. Pictures they are serious about, other then the usual test shots of inanimate objects and walls.
 
And then people would complain: where are the test shots of objects and brick walls? How can I tell anything from these artistic photos? ;)
 
Images look ok, they don't look as 3D or have the same dimension as what you get from the M8/M9.

The X-Pro 1 isn't for me, but I'm sure it's going to have a lot of sales.
Leica really need to come out with something to compete with Fuji.
 
I have to say I was pretty impressed by the image from the 12mm C/V lens. No "dreaded corner red-shift." Hey, I know I'm a fan-boy of this stuff. But I'd expect the 12 to be the worst of the wides. Can't wait to slap a Zeiss 25/2.8 on a camera with the reported high-ISO performance of the X1 Pro. The "low light penalty" of the f:2.8 wides just went away!
 
I wish I could see the undefinable qualities (3d, 'dimension,' 'soul,' 'feel' etc.) that fans ascribe to Leica bodies and lenses.
Granted, I never did well with metaphysics - much less the metaphysics of inanimate objects.

Seems there is some terrible fringe showing on the X-Pro 1 shots...

Well the guy says he shoots raw with the m9 and processed the shots so who knows maybe he's corrected it?

Anyway velvia preset on human beings with a 0.95 and mixed coloured street lights is probably not the best idea :eek:
