I am thinking of buying a Sony a 6000, or Fujifilm XE-1 and want to know if it is possible to use an adapter to use all my Nikon F mount lenses?

Yes, you could use all Nikon MF Ais and AF-D and AF-G lenses on the Sony A6000. I would highly recommend you get a good adapter, such as the one made by Novoflex.

Thanks, I saw a one hour video on B&H site by Gary Fong really praising the Sony a 6000. It looks pretty nice as a second camera system.

Put another way, the only F-mount lenses that you cannot fully use with an adapter are the 'E' lenses, i.e. PC-E and the 800/5.6E, at least until someone develops an adapter akin to the Metabones that enables electronic coupling of the diaphragm.

Also the new 400/2.8E is covered by this issue. The 85 PC-E can be readily replaced by the optically identical PC D version which does not have this limitation

You can also buy a Metabones Speed Booster (I think even including Ultra) version, which gives you almost same FoV as using lens on FF camera.

Tho I would probably get EF variant of this, since almost any lens can be adapted to Canon EF or you can simply add another adapter (plenty of Nikon G adapters for Canon EF).
