Re: New Fujifilm X-Pro1 interchangeable lens at CES
As my main objective is to use my M-lenses, of which I have six, my main concerns about the X-Pro 1 is whether there is focus assist and how the corner performance will be with wide M-lenses. As the M-adapter will, of course, increase the back to sensor plane distance, I assume corner will be a problem without offset micro lenses. In my view, the Ricoh GXR-M is the best camera for this now.
On the new X-Pro 1 lenses, I would have preferred to have a real focusing ring and distance and DOF scales on the lens barrel for zone focusing for street photography — and don\'t have much hope for something equivalent through \"focus by wire\" and DOF scale in the LXD and EVF. I don\'t find even fast autofocus system, like that of the Nikon D300 of much use for street photography.
