Anyone tried the Viltrox 28mm pancake on an X-Pro1?

Amazingly small lens, but it just locks out my Pro-1 every time I use it, only solved by pulling the battery out. Anyone else encountered this on an older model X?

It works just fine on my X-P1, X-E1, X-T1, X-T50 and X-H2s so it sounds like your camera has an issue.

No, camera's fine. Doesn't happen with any other lens. Since starting this thread, I've come across a fair few other people reporting the same problem.

That's too bad it's a nice little lens. Have you tried contacting Viltrox? I just picked up their 25mm F1.7 "air" lens and I like the perspective of that focal length over the 28.
