Have you used an adapter and vintage lens for the x-mount? Do you recommend using it? Will you share the results and what does the camera look like with the lens.

What do you mean by 'vintage'? The oldest lenses I'm currently using only date from the 70's.
My X-Pro 1 with the biggest zoom I have, Nikkor 70-210 f4 AF (the BeerCan). Impossible to hand hold steadily.

Anyone know about the different converst to use on the X-E1 camera? I want to use Olympus Zuiko lenses, Nikon, Canon and maybe a Leica. Is there a list stating the types of adapters needed for each brand of lens for the Fuji X Series cameras on the web somewhere?

I don't know about a concise listing, but I can tell you for the brands you mentioned you'd need the following:
Olympus Zuiko - OM-mount to X-mount adapter
Nikon - Nikon F-mount to X-mount adapter
Canon - either FD-mount to X-mount adapter or EF-mount to X-mount adapter depending on the lens mount (keep in mind EF mount lenses won't have aperture control)
Leica - either Leica M-mount to X-mount adapter or Leica R-mount to X-mount Adapter depending on the lens mount
As an additional resource, Stephen Gandy at Cameraquest has a page with all the X-mount adapters he sells, although they are all a bit expensive in my book and I'm certain cheaper version could be found on eBay. That said, Stephen runs a reputable shop and the Rayqual brand adapters are high quality. Here is the link RayQual Fuji XPro1 Adapters or here http://checkout.cameraquest.com/fuji-xpro-adapters.htm

Outside of Fuji own m mount adapter which gives u access to lens correction capability, w/ some limitations due to inner throat size smaller due to electronics package built into it. Go to fuji site for list of lenses that will work w/ it.
Below is a sample from Amazon for third party adapters.

I've found that m4/3s, especially with 5-way IBIS and focus-peaking hack on E-M5, works great for MF lenses. NEX has the same reputation. Wondering how folks who have shot MF lenses on one or both of those systems and X-Pro or X-E1 compare the experiences? It seems to me that it less popular with X cams. Maybe that is because the native Fuji glass is so good.
Thanks for the information.
