Does it allow use of other Leica lenses from years gone by?

Hello, no, the Vario X has an integral 28-70mm equivalent lens, Leica makes many bodies allowing the use of other lenses, but that is not the design principle of the Vario X. Thanks.

There are some adapters to make that happen. Of course fulltime manual, focus and light metering, aperture all manual. I bought the Leica M to NEX mount and it works flawlessly ( I use it with a Zeiss Planar). It also worked for my XPro-1 Fuji.

If you are talking about old film lenses, they are, but you must buy an adapter so you can use the old lenses. Also keep in mind that a film lens of 50mm,say, converts into a 100mm focal length on the Micro 4/3rds digital format.I can't remember the exact designation for the adapter, but the ones offed on Amazon are self-explanatory.

The standard lens that comes with the camera is not a Leica. This is a 4/3 format camera, which means that lenses are interchangeable, as with DSLR cameras, and there are Leica lenses that come in the 4/3 format, that will work with this camera. Buying good lenses in this format is a great investment. They will improve the photographs that you take with this camera, and if one decides to upgrade, say to the Olympus OMD range of camera, the investment continues to pay off with great photos on that camera. If it's not your intention to get additional lenses, then there are better choices than this camera. The standard lens that comes with the camera is not a Leica.

It should let you use any older flash unit with todays Digital camera. You wont be able to use any of the cameras through the lens light evaluation abilities, but using this devise will allow the flash to go off without damaging the cameras synchronization contacts.

Yes, it has been done. See the Steve Huff photography website. Steve's site is heavily attended by Leica folks. Steve says that, with those lenses, he gets better results with the A7 and A7R than he gets with a Leica M9! Of course the A7 and A7R are not as compact. The website will probably tell you where to find an adaptor. If not, you could contact Steve through the site.

Most of these lenses will be interchangeable however some auto features may not work. In most cases it should still function in manual mode.

Yes. That's one of the beautiful things about the Df. It is backwards compatible with all Nikon lenses.

If the old lenses as Pentak K-mount lenses; but check with the experts on Pentax Forums (which has FAQs about this).

Completely interchangeable. Only older Sigma lenses may not work fully, but those lenses aren't worth keeping anyways.

Tim, while you are right about the old lenses i.e. pre-EOS, also remember that any full frame canon DSLR such as the 5D or the 1D mark 3 will only use the EF lenses and will not work with the cheap EF-S lenses since the mount is different

Yes with no problems. Same item except for the Leica logo and price... I switch the viewfinder between my GF1 and the D-Lux 5.
