My philosophy is to use native lenses within a system as much as possible - it really is the most hassle free and instinctive way to function. So my remaining M lenses still keep gathering dust...it really is a pity! By the way, the Fuji 35mm f1.4 is the best lens in the line up, and can hold its own against any equivalent 50mm by any other manufacturer.
