“Since the introduction of the FUJIFILM X100, Fujifilm has made a commitment to expanding the functionality of the X-Series, and today we are very pleased to offer customers a premium accessory that they can truly be excited about – an M-Mount Adapter for the FUJIFILM X-Pro1,” said Go Miyazaki, division president, Imaging and Electronic Imaging Divisions, FUJIFILM North America Corporation. “We listened very carefully to our customers about their desire for an M- Mount for the FUJIFILM X-Pro1, and we are proud to announce that this accessory will be available soon for everyone.”
Precision Made M-Mount Adapter
Similar to the FUJIFILM X-Pro1’s exacting design standards, the precision made M-Mount Adapter is engineered to deliver superb results for discerning photographers.
The M-Mount Adapter is comprised of three parts: an aluminum mount for the body, a stainless steel mount for the lens, and an aluminum central tube. This construction enables an accurately-maintained distance of 27.8mm from the lens mount to sensor, which is crucial for delivering high quality and high resolution images.
The camera side of the M-Mount Adapter features an array of
electronic connections that automatically pass information to the
FUJIFILM X-Pro1 body based on pre-registered lens profiles. With
firmware version 1.10 or later, this information is transmitted by
pressing the Function button on the side of the adapter, which allows
users to access the M-Mount Adapter Settings menu on the rear LCD.
While attached, the M-Mount Adapter still allows users to enjoy the
benefits of the FUJIFILM X-Pro1’s extraordinary Hybrid Multi Viewfinder.
The Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) and LCD monitor both offer a 100% field
of view, and the Optical Viewfinder (OVF) displays a bright frame
corresponding to the focal length in use.M-Mount Adapter Provides Ultimate Control
The FUJIFILM M-Mount Adapter provides ultimate control by allowing users to create and fine tune lens profiles through the X-Pro1’s Mount Adapter Settings menu. This menu allows X-Pro1 users to profile up to six lenses. There are four pre-sets for 21mm, 24mm, 28mm and 35mm lenses, plus two optional settings for additional optics.
With the Fujifilm M-Mount Adapter attached, profiles can be
user-defined, based on distortion, peripheral illumination and color
shading corrections.
Three levels of distortion correction are also available to combat
barrel distortion on wide-angle lenses, and pincushion distortion on
telephoto lenses. Users can select from Strong, Medium or Weak
correction, or simply turn any correction off.Peripheral illumination controls the amount of darkening at the four corners of an image. Eleven levels of correction can be applied from +5 to -5 (including “0”) with users given the choice of darkening the corners of the image to emphasize a central subject or lightening edges for more even illumination across the frame.
Finally, color shading correction allows each corner of the frame to be color corrected to combat any shift in color between the center and edges of the frame. Corrections can be made to red/cyan color shading and blue/yellow color shading from -9 to +9 relative to the green channel.

Notes
- * A separately sold L-M conversion adapter is necessary when using the L Mount lens.
- * When using the retractable lens, do not let the lens move in/out with the adapter attached.
The camera and the lens may be damaged. - * This list of compatible lenses actually confirmed by Fujifilm is provided for your reference.
Since the lens may be deteriorated due to individual difference or aging, or its form may have been changed due to damage, usability of all lenses of the same type is not guaranteed.

Maybe you can help. I can't find this information anywhere: Are the list of compatible lens for the M-mount shown in full frame size or APS-C equivalent? For instance, is the Ziess Biogon T 28mm f2.8 the full frame spec or would that actually be a 42mm in full frame? thanks!
ReplyDeleteAll lenses are shown in their standard full frame values. So all would be 1.5x when used with the X-Pro1.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought. Thanks for the response and confirmation!
Deleteany update on shipping dates on this? would love to have in time for a July 1 trip!
ReplyDeleteThe M Mount is now in stock!
