Geoff,
I am with you there - I have personal experience that the Fuji lenses
are excellent, and the Sony line will be populated by Zeiss, so I
expect them to be excellent, too. I have never understood this wish to
lose most of the functionality of camera bodies by mating other
manufacturer's lenses on them - I think Leica lenses will do best on
Leica bodies, in the sense that as you have full functionality, the
photographs can be taken instinctively. After all, correct me if I am
wrong, the general idea is to take a superior photograph, is it not?

Cheers
Jayanand
