When I get back go Spain (later this month or in October) I will do a straight comparison.
The Fuji is APS-C (DX) so it is only a x1.5 multiplier compared to a FX camera.

D600 with 300mm lens, and XPro1 with 55-200.  I'll also do a near equivalence so a D600 with 200mm and then cropped up to 300mm view so this will yield a near similar angle of view and MP equivalence.

D600 (24MP) v. XPro1 (16MP).



Interestingly...
The 55-200 paperwork says it is the equivalent of 84-305.

So ... unlike Nikon DX lenses, Fuji haven't corrected their lenses for the multiplication factor. They are effectively FX lenses?

No the Fuji lenses wont cover a FX format. 
The lenses are designed specifically for the X series cameras and wouldnt focus accurately on a FX camera.  The focus point is (I think) on 14-19mm behind the lens
