OK, I found a source of confusion on the Fuji M compatibility chart.  They 
listed the gen. 3 as incompatible, but gave the years of its manufacture as 
if it were gen. 4.  They actually did not mention gen. 4.

I must learn to pay attention :)

you bet,


I see that the lens said not to be compatible is the summicron 35mm f2 gen 
3. The lens I have used with success is  gen 4., fwiw !
