Right now, not much reason for me to buy this. I'd be tempted if there was a nice wide angle prime made specifically for this system. But the widest you can go with the native lens is 24 on 24-70 and I'm not a big fan of zooms and the lens is not compact at all. I already own RX1 which has great image quality due to the great match camera-lens.
Ofc you can buy the adpator and mount some really nice lens, but the adaptor makes the camera even larger (and it is already larger than RX1), and god knows what they charge for the adaptor (399$?) and it means no autofocus.
So, right now, I'll pass. Will wait for a nice wide angle lens.
What these two said are me down to the last detail, including owning an RX1. It will take some nice wide angle primes for me too, and I'll have to see about it then. I wouldn't mind having a 21 or 24 or both. My guess is an ultra-wide zoom would be huge (as big as good APS ultra wide zooms are, this would have to be bigger). If there's a 21 and 24 and they're reasonably fast and not tooooo huge, I'll consider it then. But even then I'll have to assess how much I'd really use them. I've been scary happy just shooting with the Nikon A at 28 and the RX1 at about 32 (give or take). I like having a 21 and will probably like having an ultra wide again, but I'm not sure there's enough reason to go full frame on those - the Fuji stuff is pretty damn good for as low light as I'd want to shoot those lenses and it's not like I'm really after narrow DOF with real wide lenses. I may just continue on the way I am. More focal lengths just tend to confuse me. So, two great cameras in about my sweet spot for different uses, an m43 body with a couple of longer lenses for long stuff, and a Fuji with a couple of wide/ultra-wide for that end and I rarely pull out either, so why go full frame for something I'm not apt to use that much and that won't play to the full frame strengths that much???^ same here. But initial results with rangefinder wide angles suggest these cameras will require wide angle lenses that are significantly larger than those RF lenses
