XPanII -> XPanI lens backward compartibility

[hlop]

G'Day Everyone!

Could anyone confirm that lenses from XPanII/TX-2 could work with XPanI/TX-1 bodies? I've got 45mm and 90mm and think about 30mm but damage is too high ... At the time when I'll have some pennies together it could be hard to find and I, very likely, won't have much choice. Being an owner of TX-1 I'm wondering if the latest version of 30mm, made for XPanII/TX-2, will work with my camera?

IMHO, it should work at least in a manual mode if electronic bits are incompartible ... Any thoughts? 😕

Should work, there was not that big of a change as far as the bodies go.
I have a TX-2 90mm lens and Xpan I...seems to work well even on AE mode. Havent done extensive research but all my pics have come out.

Good news! Thanks a lot, PlantedTao!

AFAIK the lenses are the same, its only the body that changed.....................and as there is no coupling apart from the RF no problem with interchangeability

You will have no problems.

I have both the TX-1 & Xpan II and all 3 lenses,they all work on both bodies perfectly. ..... so shoot away!

The XPan II hoods work on the older lenses too. So, if you're fighting with various tape solutions to keep your original hoods hanging on you can safely get new locking ones and they fit. Best upgrade I've ever had for my XPan system!
