Is there anyway to stop LR4 from doing this?
Nope.

Gah.
As an aside... how accurate do you find the focus scale is on the X Pro 1 for zone focusing?
Never used it. But the one on the lens is pretty good (I use a manual Leica lens for MF).
BTW the LR4 thing is a "feature" of all Adobe raw processing.
Picked mine up last week with the 35mm, loving it !
If anyone is using the additional handgrip do you find it useful ?

Btw, I picked up cable release today from Jessops but I'm not very keen on it. There is a lot of side to side play in the actual shutter release button on my XP1 when the cable is attached.
Has anyone else seen this ?
I've had both and the X-Pro 1 is muchly an X100 that you can change the lens on!
Pretty much what Chris said.
I honestly think a lot of people moaning about the AF aren't spending the time gutting to know it. Yes, it works differently from a DSLR. But I has a couple of kids running straight at the camera the other day and at f4 it nailed them.
Just buy one ;0
So. The 60mm macro. Is it really, as some forums claim, one of the worst lenses ever made by any manufacturer?

Useful info, thanks for that. I had considered using my ipad as an imagetank but I'll give that a miss for a while :/

Ive seen nothing but praise for the 60mm but thats from review sites rather than forums, what are the criticisms ?
could be interested, but don't have access to classifieds yet - so if you haven't sold it yet, drop me a line
I think the "issues" with the 60 come from its uneasy position in Fuji's lineup.
It's a macro. But it's also the closest thing they have to a portrait lens. (In fact, arguably they don't yet have a portrait lens.)
Now we all (should) know that macros are slow to focus. And the usual way round that is to manual focus. Unfortunately the fly by wire focus on the 60 is horrid. There's no real way to get feedback as you focus and manual focus at close range is very difficult. You can either say that makes it a "terrible lens" or do what I did and spend a couple of hours coming up with a focusing strategy for it (manual focus, AF/AE button on contrast are to get you in the ballpark, magnify and then rock until it it bang on - takes a little practise).
Similarly if you expect it to be a portrait lens then it can be disappointing. I've seen beautiful portraits with it but it's slow focusing for a portrait lens (remember it's a macro lens really) and unless you tweak the camera specially for it a little too sharp and unforgiving. Since lot of people are shooting jpeg (and foolishly think that means they can still ignore all the settings) then again it's easy to be disappointed.
Another issue is that it appears to exhibit some of the worst CA I've seen at f/2.5. Under certain circumstances. In the real world though you seldom see anything bad at all and in practise 2.5 is so close to 2.8 that many people will never use it wide open.
It is a lovely lens though - and one with a lot more "character" than most I've used. And some of the most lovely out of focus areas you'll get anywhere near the price.
Here's a SOOC jpeg from yesterday.
Nice to see folk enjoying this camera, actually miss mine a little
