Leica have gone to bed with Adobe, while most manufacturers have not. The present Hasselblad (Fuji) is still the industry standard in MF digital - which implies that the photographers USING it are satisfied with it, is it not? My take is all common sense based babbling - I have not used either the Zeiss or the Fuji lenses. I do know, however, that some lenses that were very good on film are indifferent on digital from my experience. I am finding that out right now, using older primes on the Nikon D800 - I am being forced to rethink my complete lens line up in the wide to portrait range. All I can say is that the Fuji lenses for the X-Pro 1 are every bit as good as any lens I have used.
