Yes, and of course the system lenses will operate more smoothly and be
easier to use but in the case of the Sony NEX for example, the lenses
are optically poor.  So putting up with the compromises of manual
focus and diaphragm will yield better results which is surely
preferable.  Also you can't get a 90mm for the Fuji (yet) so you could
crop from the 60mm, or you could use your (probably superior) Leica
90mm lens.  If you use an M8 or M9 you have to manually focus and use
the manual diaphragm anyway ;)
