I honestly think Fuji are not looking at making it a well working option, I think they have a strong opinion that their new modern, compact and fast lenses will be the sales pitch and why would they make it easy to adapt legacy glass? How would it even work with the zooming view finder/EVF combo?

If the Pro-1 is not legacy glass friendly that would be a real shame and I think it would be a marketing mistake: many that would consider the Pro-1 would instead go with a NEX because of this very issue.

How could it not be? I guess a mechanical adapter for \"dumb\" lenses is very easy to make (and it\'s very unlikely that the flange distance is going to be prohibitive). Of course some people have speculated that Fuji might not allow for the shutter to activate unless there\'s a brand lens attached, but... I guess that sooner or later a firmware hack might solve this. That, or Sigma coming up with lenses of their own, or the great Conurus playing a hand in this...
