The x100 thread blows this out of the water unfortunately
Nothing like giving a camera that has been out a few weeks a chance to catch up to a camera that has been out over a year. 🙄

I have to admit that I am in love with this camera system! I did manage to get the 60mm here in SC last week and love it as well. I think for wide angle I am going to go with the Voigtlander Super Wide Heliar 15mm f/4.5 M instead of the system 18mm lens...
Initial image samples using my 15mm Heliar via Kipon adapter have been less that promising. Some anomalies that I am seeing makes me suspect my adapter. With a subject at infinity focus, the periphery is soft, but markedly more so on the right side of the frame. However, when I used my 50 Summicron with the same adapter, the images was tack sharp across the whole frame. I'd like to try another version of the 15mm, but I'll probably have to settle for experimenting with my 21mm as well. Hopefully I can narrow down the issue to either the lens or the adapter.
I really don't think that there is an incompatibility issue with wide angle M lenses on the X-Pro 1 in general. It really appears to be more of a sample specific issue. Obviously, I intend to experiment some more with my M lenses, but I wouldn't mind picking up the 14mm Fuji that is supposed to be released in the Fall. If it's anything like the 35, I would be quite pleased.
^ is that bill nye?
