Agreed. The other intriguing thing about most mirrorless systems is the ability to use adapters to mount other lenses. Look at the m4/3 and NEX systems with the available adapters where you can use Pentax, Canon, Nikon, even Leica lenses with those cameras. Although it's all manual focusing (which I don't mind), it leads to a whole new level of LBA.
Hopefully, the new Fuji can be adapted to use other lenses as well, but I don't know if they could or how that would work in a rangefinder body.
