Jim,
The X-Pro 1 instruction book refers to Cosina diopter lenses.
As others have mentioned the Nikon ones for FA FE FE2 etc also work.
And Zeiss makes a series as well in +5.0 to -5.0 steps. I use a - 1.0 to 
help my
aging eyes that I bought here in Vancouver at Leo's Camera. It was expensive 
- C$40 -but worth it
to have a clearer view of both the OVF and the EVF (when I use it).
Howard
