Fuji Rumors is reporting BORYOZA has a FX-Z Adapter. With the following.


    The thinnest AF adapter on the market
    Compatible with AF and automatic aperture
    Supports image stabilization of X-mount lenses
    EXIF information
    Firmware can be updated
    1480 yuan (converted to $208)


I was looking at the Nikon Zfc and Z50 but the lack of APS-C glass was a downside. I’m not interested in lugging around full frame glass for a crop body. Fuji Glass on a Nikon Z crop body is interesting proposition since I already own Fuji glass. What are your thoughts?

An interesting proposition if only because of Nikon's pathetic APS-C Z lineup. Would make a camera like a Z50 much more interesting immediately.

But wait, there's more...put Fujicrons on a Z Fc and now you have a real winner

If these adapted lenses AF better on the Nikon body than they do on Fuji's own body I'm going to piss myself laughing

It's a very good idea. I'm curious to see AF performance vs Native Fuji bodies.

Why would you want to put the lenses on a Z50 or Zfc if you already are into the Fuji system, the Nikon bodies are not as good or well specified as such as xt3 even never mind Xt5 or the Xh2 bodies. The Nikon ones seem to be to be a great add on to a full frame Z outfit, for light and portable.

I guess why not is the answer! People have done it for years with Sony bodies, and now with Sony lenses on Nikon too. Not being in multiple ecosystems for workflow simplification is another good answer.

The Nikon APS-C sensors render a markedly better file than the X-Trans sensors. That's a big one.

This will help Fuji users migrate to Nikon Z mount, from Nikon APS-C to FF or straight to Nikon FF.

You can see some of this with Sony E-mount shooters moving to Z mount because of the E to Z AF adaptor.

That perceived migration likely has little or nothing to do with the availability of an adapter.

I've used a D7000 for 11 years, alongside Fuji for 7 of those. I don't notice any superiority of the Nikon, nor can I remember suggestions that the current 20mpx Nikon one is 'markedly better' than anything else, Nikon or Fuji.

I think that the adapters play a deciding role.

Historically, EF to E adapters were the main reason why Sony was able to win back so many unhappy Canon DSLR customers tired of poor sensors and average AF performance.

It is fair to say that adapters have turned mirrorless into a reality.

I've never heard of anyone switching to Nikon just to be able to use Sony lenses.

For the sake of any newcomers that come to this thread, I'd just point out this is your repeated gripe that very few people agree with.

Have you tried the X-T5 AF? I was photographing some waterskiing a few weeks ago and the tracking and hit rate was pretty good. It may not be quite as good as Sony (I haven't tried the latest Sony bodies), but if you can't nail plenty of in focus shots with the X-T5 then the camera is not the issue.

I fail to get your point sorry.

We have many examples of photographers on this very forum who were able to add a Zf/Z8/Z9 to their existing Sony lenses line up thanks to the availability of the Megadap and Fotodiox adapters.

They didn't switch to Nikon just to be able to use Sony lenses, but the availability of adapters makes this move a lot easier than otherwise. It's the difference between a vague intent vs an actual purchase. And it's not about switching, it's about the possibility to use 2 systems in parallel with limited cost impacts. Nothing short of a game changer for photographers not locked into a brand mindset and able to assess objectively the respective value of each brand offering. At least between Nikon and Sony. Canon is of course out of the game.

And again, Sony mirrorless is as successful as it is today because it was easy for Canon users to use their EF lenses. This is beyond discussion, it's a clearly established historical fact.

And now the same possibility opens up for APS-C where existing Fuji users have the possibility to leverage their excellent lenses with whatever bodies Nikon may decide to release next in 2024, and I believe that there are exciting things coming. Indeed, realistically speaking, Fuji's is the only brand with a credible APS-C lenses line up and having access to those available cheap second hand will also open great opportunities for Nikon APS-C body users.

Cheers,
Bernard
