Pretty much anything made for Leica M mount can be used with either the official Fuji M Mount adapter, or 3rd party versions

So you have a wide range of manufacturers in that field, and a massive pool of used kit to choose from.

All manual focus etc of course.

Leica lenses are of course pricey, but you have all of the 3rd party M mount manufacturers like Voigtlander at nicer prices

You can also find adapters for most lens makes on EBAY or Amazon - not sure how compatible they really are, you'd need to research

For example, you can get some Canon EF adapters, which work, but you can't change the aperture on the lens because Canon aperture is changed electronically! DOH!

I guess having obtained a M-Mount adapter you could also then stack a Leica Screw Thread to M mount on to wide the choice even further.

there's a ton of adapters out there. m mount is my preference, but there are some that let you use canon or nikon lenses. i don't recommend using the canon lenses though, the aperture is stuck wide open.

here's a couple i've taken with the x-pro 1 or x-e1 and the voigtlander 12mm (m mount).
