DEAR JEAN DAVID,
That is precisely why we are seeking info on all of the lenses...so
he can decide which ones will meet his needs. He has no intention of buying
all 17 but he needs information with which to make his decision...yes?
I have no idea about the camera but there MUST be some information
about the Fuji lenses for it and some place he can look to buy some.
I already recommended Calumet and I will suggest Lens and Repro.
CHEERS!
BOB

I do not see how one can answer this without knowing what James wants to do
with the camera. Expecially focal lengths, maximum apertures, and coverage.
Also, I think it would probably be a mistake to get 17 lenses even if he
could afford them.
Does that camera have a coupled rangefinder? If so, it might be a problem
finding lenses unless he is willing to have new cams ground to match the
lenses to the rangefinder. And a problem finding someone who knows the
profiles required for the lenses. Perhaps he might try Lens & Repro in NYC
or Calumet.
