Well, the M lenses work great on the Fuji's with an adapter. You don't get all the functionality of the Fuji lenes but you still get all the Leica quality. I have one Leica lens but prefer the Fuji native lenses - the only time I use the Leica one is on the street doing zone focus shots. Still very nice. Tom

Got your XE1 yet Tom? I am going to wait for our report card on the new item before making a decision between the X100 and XE1.

Gary- Looks like it was delivered today <sigh> but I am not home today and won't be back till next Tuesday. If it had been sent on the 10th as B&H posted on their Web site, I would have had it before I left, but they didn't get them in in time to make that shipment date. Will post next week

Just ordered the new 18-55 f2.8-f4 zoom for my XPro1. That will curtail my need to buy the kit of XE1 and 18-55 lens! Should be here before Christmas assuming the Spanish postal service performs adequately.

JK- To me the main reason to use the xe1 seems to be either to have the very slightly better DVF for manual focus with 3P lenses or to be slightly smaller than the xp1 for travelling light. If you put the larger lens on it, I think you might as well use the xp1 which I think is really a better build, has the hybrid VF (which is the big big advantage to fugi) and the better built body...so... In summary: I think you did the right thing Tom

Thanks Tom. Making decisions on kit is not good without getting hands on but unless I wait, wait, wait then I need to do this. I would have bought the zoom lens first, before any of the primes if Fuji had brought them out at the same time. That said the 35mm f1.4 is as good a lens as I have ever used.

I agree re the 35mm...totally !!! Just remember to plug into your thinking that a "mistake" is easily corrected at very little cost by offing the ones you decide don't work for you on ebay!
