Re: New Fujifilm X-Pro1 interchangeable lens at CES
Ricardo, in my opinion your concern over lens portability is warranted but probably you can rest easy about one thing - the X Pro 1 is highly unlikely to be the last Fujifilm camera that will accept these lenses. Buying into the X mount does tie one to Fujifilm to be sure. Probably there\'ll be other X cameras that can take the lenses; we are still barely into the early evolution of mirrorless compact interchangeable lens digital cameras.
If the lenses perform well then they\'ll be worth their price tag but at roughly 60% of the cost of a decent Zeiss rangefinder lens, albeit faster in some cases, some buyers may question whether it makes sense to tie themselves to one maker even if they do perform quite well.
