Fuji X-Pro1 & Zeiss G 21mm f/2.8 - Klaus - 04-09-2012 I guess this means that the Fuji sensor doesn't like symmetrical wide-angles as well ...

Fuji X-Pro1 & Zeiss G 21mm f/2.8 - bobrapp43 - 04-09-2012 I think that this camera and most aps-c mirror-less camera would prefer retro-focus lenses (long rear nodal point).

[/quote] Well, it seems as if the M9, NEX 5n/C3, GXR/A12 and probably also the NX200 do a decent job here. The NEX 7 and X-Pro1 are on the other side. The NEX 3/5 are somewhere in between it seems. Fuji X-Pro1 & Zeiss G 21mm f/2.8 - frank - 04-10-2012 Will this affect the sale of X-pro1 significantly? If X-pro1 can use only Fuji lenses and quite a limit number of other brand lenses, then many people would hesitate to buy the camera, I think (given its rather high price). However, it is still not quite clear how bad the situation is. For example, how will modern Zeiss WA lenses perform on X-pro1? How will Nikon and Canon WA lenses perform on X-pro1 (suppose converters exist)?

The images from the XF 18mm f/2 that we've seen so far were rather poor IMHO. Fuji X-Pro1 & Zeiss G 21mm f/2.8 - PuxaVida - 04-10-2012 It seems that Biogon (and the Elmarit) will make the Nex 7 and the X-Pro1 suffer <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />... The X-Pro1 has no AA filter (or IOW cancelled AA filter)... The usual suspects are the microlens design and the new color filter array I guess. By the way, is the Fuji 18mm a symmetrical lens?

Serkan [/quote] It is not just only about the AA though. Even the Fuji has a cover glass on the sensor. The 18mm doesn't have a symmetrical design.
