Any M mount lenses perform really well on the XP1?

[texchappy]

Either vintage or new. I'm just wondering if any of the Leica (or other makers) m-mount lenses give superior results on the X pro 1? How do they compare to the Fuji native offerings?

TIA,
Tony

The fuji lenses are, if anything, better than leica M mount lenses when applied to those specific cameras. Seriously, they're epic.

Have to agree. I sold all of my M-glass once I had tried them on the XP1. I can shoot 90% of what I want to shoot with the 18mm and the 35mm. Even the 18-55mm zoom produces really great images.

What Gavin said is generally true, but my favorite exception, is the ZM C Sonnar 50/1.5

This photo, the only one I currently have uploaded to show, was taken at ISO25800.
