George,
Is it fair to say that any gains due to a thinner Fuji body are lost due to the adaptor required to mount non-native lenses?
Colin
Yes it adds to the length of the lens, but to say that you lose any gains? Well that is up to the perception of the user I guess. Overall length from LCD to front of the lens is basically the same. It all comes to flange distance. The Fuji or any camera really with adapter and Nikon lenses will have to have the same distance from the lens mount to the sensor.
You see below with the same lens (well one is Non-Ai the other is AI) but both 20mm UD.
Df w/Lens 1180g - X-T2 w/Lens 1092g
Not a big difference. But for me personally it was not really about size but options. I like to tinker. For me, messing around with the hardware, taking lenses apart and doing things on my own is a satisfying part of the photography hobby. And with some nudging by Georg and Scott the last couple days, may even give a try again at developing film.
You also notice I still have my Df. Some things will not be replaced
