OM lenses on X-Pro1?

Anybody tried it yet? I have an adapter and a couple of OM lenses (24/2.8 and 85/2) on order; they should be here tomorrow. I'll post results if people would like to see them.

I've been curious about OM and C/Y on th Fuji. On my Eos I use primarily adapted lenses from those two old lines where, they outperform many of the Canon offerings at similar FL's. Quite interested in how they will perform on the Xp1. Although, it's hard to ask for much better performance than the Fuji lenses are giving ( 35 and 60mm are beautiful so far).
Looking forward to your results.

I only have the Fuji 35 but it is marvelous. Mostly I'm trying the OM glass to get as-yet-unavailable focal lengths--that 24 could make a good 35 equivalent. I suspect I'll eventually invest in most of the native primes...

Shipping delayed, I won't get to try these until the weekend but will report!

I have tried the 24mm and the 100 f/2.8. Great results with the latter -- very disappointed with the 24. Hope yours fares better.

I just received a Leica-M adapter and an EOS adapter. With latter and the OM to EOS adapter I can use my OM 24/2.0 on the Fuji. Looks good, even here in the living room. Focusing with the magnified view works very good. Not fast of course but very accurate.
Very nice is that when you stop down the fv keeps it clarity.
