Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but as of now, all of the excitement thus far has been built up on a foundation of speculation and rumours about this "X1 Pro". Still no official announcement from Fuji, correct?
Fujifilm X-Pro1 details leaked!!!

Partially correct. Amazon U.S.A. has been selling the three lenses since yesterday, but list the introduction date as 2/9/12.

What search terms did you use? My search turned up nothing on amazon.com?
But no body? Weird...

Where is the problem? When you get native lenses that are optimized for the crop factor then you don't have a problem. For some the "problem" starts when they put existing M-lenses on the camera and then thinking about the field of view starts every time.

At that price the 1.4/35 will surely be a high distortion lens like a cv nokton so software correction will be necessary.

perhaps somebody should do a search in the books section of amazon:
makes a great sleuth story...

Thanks! A search using Fujinon turned up nothing for me.
And nothing again. Pulled?

The M mount adaptor might be very handy, but if these lenses are anything like as good as the X100 lens, then I am not sure the Leica lenses will be anything but an expensive extravagance.
Anyone heard anything about how the manual focus will work. The lenses look as if they have a decent sized focus ring, but is the system going to be the same as the X100?

May contain traces of nut
I guess it's meant more for people who already have them anyway, so that the cost for the lenses is zero.
Yes, and it's a draw to get them to buy the Xpro body instead of a NEX or other mirrorless to use those lenses on...

Absolutely, however, the sale of a couple of old Leica lenses could pay for the entire kit (or half a noctilux). If this camera is as good as I hope it to be and it becomes the 'small portable digital kit solution' a M9 might have been, then I will think out some of my Leica gear to pay for it. Holding onto them and paying for the Fuji on top of it would be crazy (for me).

I plan to buy this system in 2012. I will sell some of my Nikkor lenses because the D700 bodies will only see commercial use once the X-Pro 1 arrives.
Carrying the X100, the X-Pro 1, two additional lenses and a bunch of batteries seems practical.
