Fuji should develop some manual focus lens for X-Pro series

[adzman808]

I don't think Fuji should copy Leica.

 

The X-Pro1 is not technically a range finder. In many ways it's better (that's why the M240 now has live view and an accessory EVF, at least on the Fuji the OVF/EVF is in the same place!)

 

As others have said, buy an adaptor and you can use pretty much any MF lens you want.

 

And if the sole reason that the OP suggests Fuji to do this, is because he wants a Leica M, but can't afford one, might I humbly suggest a used M8? Not much more than a second hand graphite XT1... (If anything at all) Obviously the REALLY high quality M glass is expensive, but many good lens are available in M mount.

 

I think that with some patience, and maybe a bit of luck in a flea market, junk store etc, you could probably build a M system based around the M8 with 2 or 3 primes (Voitlanger 35 and 50, maybe a summarit 90) for less money than we've all spent on the equivalent Fuji bodies and XF glass

 

If you want a digital Leica M, fair play, but don't expect Fuji to make your Leica dream come true. You don't have to spend M240 and Noctilux money to get into the Leica system!

Fuji doesn't make manual lenses for the X mount Fuji's and they never will.

 

Who made you Fujifilm's CEO? Absolutes are mostly absolute BS.
