Do realize that is an unverified rumor form a third party, not even from a so-called Fuji insider.  It would be nice if it happens but saying that they "will" sell such a product is a bit premature ;)

Since the HC/HCD Hassy lenses are made by Fuji, this is not a surprise.

It's a pretty safe assumption, EJ. Just heard a podcast from Photofocus where they interviewed Zack Arias, who has been in communication with Fuji about the development of the GFX (Fuji knows that Zach also shoots P1 MF cameras). Zack was at the dinner with Fuji when he and the other X-photogs first recommended that Fuji do a MF camera, and has been making the case for leaf shutter lenses since he was made aware the program was in development. He said that it has become an ongoing "thing" with the Fuji GFX guys that whenever he walked into a room with them, they would say,  "Yes, we know, Zack! Leaf shutter lenses!"

From same Japanese web site, it says there will be an AC to 15 V adapter that will sell for approx USD$110. This should mean that you can shoot in the studio w/o worrying about battery power.
