Rayqual really didn’t waste any time and is coming out with a great ammount of new adpaters for the Fuji X PRO 1! And they are fast too! Starting from today(!) you can use all these lenses on the Fuji: Leica M, Nikon CY, Yashikon CFD, Canon FD, Pentax K, Olympus OM, M42 screw, Leica R and Exakta-Kodak.
Rayqual adpaters are usually available for purchase on . But I still din’t find any of the new adpaters for the X system.

P:S.: The X PRO 1 is still on the top positions of the Amazon US sales ranking (Click here). And now it is for sale at Amazon UK too (Click here). Let’s see how well it will do there.

not the best corner performance with rf lenses :/
speaking from my own experience I see zero corner issues with a Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f1.2 and a Leica Summicron f2 50mm (both M mount). If there are issues with corner smearing I suspect it applies to wider than 35mm lenses. None of this is really a problem since the performance of the 18mm fuji lens is already stellar.
One thing to note that’s been reported elsewhere is that the xpro1 actually cleans up CA even on non-native lenses, which is fantastic.
nice idea in principle.
i would like to see some in-depth review especially with extensive manual focus trials.
i like the xpro-1, but if manual and third party lens adaption will be problematic then regardless of the auto focus benefits, I will not buy
Besides M Mount, what else would be worth getting? I’ve really only dabbled with M and a bit of OM from that list.
Zeiss lenses in the contax / yashica mount are very good, but I’ve only used them on FF sensors, so I’m not sure if the shallower angle at the edges on a cropped sensor will create problems. I also second C mount—many available and still at reasonable prices.
If you do any macro work a few of the FD macro lenses are some of the best ever made!
I’m hoping improvements will be made in manual focus so you can actually use MF lenses on this camera. Looking back on the X100, it is a better camera today than when first released in terms of usability and auto focus.
Have you actually used the camera? I have, and neither of those statement is correct in my experience.
Why, yes, I do have the camera. And we’re talking degrees of usability in manual focus mode. Yes, the determined can manual focus. And for others maybe the experience is not worth the trouble and consider it dysfunctional. YMMV.
Sorry, my reply was intended for Vivek’s comment above yours.
It’s actually pretty easy to MF using m-mount lenses. Not as quick as a NEX with peaking, but not far behind. You just focus, tap the thumb wheel for fine tuning on your point of focus, tap the thumb wheel again and take the shot.
what about c mount ??
The sensor is too large for C-mount lenses.
Miroslav: If you do not know something, it is better NOT to make such statements. 😉
There is heavy vignetting on many C-mount lenses when put on m4/3 cameras, because they’re made for sensor/film up to 1″ diagonal. On larger APS-C sensor you get a circular image in the middle of a black rectangle. So if you’re into those kind of images or cropping in pp, nice. Read more about C mount on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_mount for example.
When Wikipedia becomes the gospel, the world will end for sure. LOL. Whoever edited that there and the quote here is simply untrue.
Do you believe people from dpreview forums?

“Do you believe people from dpreview forums?”
No. 🙂
Another reason could be that I actually use c-mount lenses on my NEX-7 (purportedly with difficult corner issues!). 😉
“purportedly with difficult corner issues”
So, we agree they’re not very useful on APS-C sensors ;).
“false claims and false proclamations”
You seem to be the only one I’ve came across that’s satisfied with C mount lens on APS-C sensor. That shows that there are only a few C mount lenses that can project the image onto a such big sensor, all in tele FL range.
I will wait and see whether its MF system will be enhanced. Given current MF method, I won’t buy XPRO1 surely.
The MF is fine if you are using non fuji x mount lenses. Using the fuji x mount lenses in MF is a bit of a hack, but that’s because they are focus by wire
The Fuji 18/2 is certainly NOT stellar. It is the weakest lens in the X Pro 1 set up. Time will tell if Fuji (who usually make excellent lenses) will be able to make an excellent wide angle lens for the X Pro 1, one that is not soft in the corners even when stopped down, as the 18/2 is.
The X Pro 1 does not serve as a good platform for manual lenses like RF wide angle lenses as the sensor makes the corners smear. As for now Fuji did not even manage to make their own 18/2 smearless. Pity.
For lenses, say 35mm and up there will be no problems, and of course SLR wide angle lenses of good caliber should pose no problems for the sensor on the X Pro 1, but who’d want to stick a huge SLR lens on a small/lightweight crop camera? Fail, Fuji, Fail.
Love Fuji, no love for the X Pro 1 from me.
I will be stocking all of the Rayqual X-Pro adapters at CameraQuest.com — once they arrive.
