Thank you, John. No, the lens is the new Sigma 45mm/f2.8 DG DN. It is also sold as kit lens along with the fp body.

I could write a review specifically for my kind of usage. I can at least say that it is nowhere near the "universal" camera like Nikon Z6/7 or Sony A7 series due to some significant caveats. Stay tuned. :)

You have switched from Fuji to Sigma?

JJ, considering the currently available native L-mount lenses, an adapted Leica M-mount wideangle on fp would work, if you don't mind the zone focus method of the film days.
