Wide angle options for XP-1

Hey folks,

I've been scouring the internet looking for different lens options for the XP-1 since the Kipon adaptors are now available.
My favourite all-rounder focal length on full frame cameras is usually 35mm.
So, I started looking around for options and decided that the Zeiss ZM 21/2.8 fits what I'm looking for.
However, I'm hearing a lot of mixed reviews about the performance of wide angle M mount lenses on the XP-1.
On the flip side, I've read that people have a lot of success with using M lenses.
Being the impulsive kind of guy I am, (and possibly due to the fact that I am thrilled with the XP-1's performance) I decided to purchase the Kipon adaptor and the ZM 21/2.8!
Of course, now I'm really nervous to find out how it will perform.
Anyone had any luck so far? It seems like lenses in the +50mm range work quite.
I'm also interested to see if Fujifilm will have some sort of secret fix with their own adaptors.
It seems strange to me that Fuji would advertise the ability to use M mount lenses with an adaptor if the ability to do so is very limited.
Any thoughts?
