My first impression of the image quality, but under low light condition, were very good. This relativly large lens fits better on the heavier X-Pro1 and in combination with the optimal front focus ring, results are quit practicable. So, I'am impressed about your shot at central station.

I am using a <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nikon-G-AFS-lens-to-Fujifilm-Fuji-X-Pro1-X-E1-Adapter-Aperture-Control-Ring-/330825729702?pt=US_Lens_Adapters_Mounts_Tubes&hash=item4d06c006a6" rel="nofollow">Nikon G to fuji X adapter (click here)</a>, allows for aperture control on a lens without aperture ring, everything is manual of course, exposure and focus. Those adapters are also available in Canon mount (and a few other mounts) however not with aperture control. hope this helps. Apparently the X sensor works well with UWA. No corner smearing. The only thing is the weight and size of the big lens. Doesn't balance well, adds weight and makes the whole set up bulky. However, image quality is fantastic. thanks aj! the Sigma 8-16mm is a great lens!

I was wondering how UWA lenses would work, I have a Sigma 8-16 and am looking at buying the fuji X-pro or X-e1. Any other hiccups you can think of? I'd love to see more shots with the Tokina. Did you use an adapter that had an aperture ring? Great info! I was wondering how UWA lenses would work, I have a Sigma 8-16 and am looking at buying the fuji X-pro or X-e1.
