I've had my X-E1 body for about a month now. I'm using it as a camera back for my collection of Pentax-M and M42 lenses. Previously I was using an NEX-5n, but I wanted a viewfinder and better controls.
The fuji is like using an MX or LX film camera. Similar size, similar user feel with the shutter dial on the top right of the camera body. The adapted lenses act like aperture coupled lenses with regard to the light meter. This alone i feel is an improvement over using a modern Pentax DSLR.
If you are the type of shooter that wishes Pentax would make a DK1000 then I would recommend trying the X-E1 for use with your old lenses. If you can't understand why anyone would want a DK1000, then maybe go buy a D800 and leave us to enjoy our adapted lenses.
I'd be more then happy to answer questions about the X-E1 used with old lenses.
