Hello everyone,

I've been thinking of getting an X-mount Fuji, formerly having owned an S5 Pro and a fun little X10. I primarily shoot Canon and have a nice selection of EF lenses, which I will be keeping. Having searched these forums and various reviews, the consensus seems to be that the Fringer adapter is the way to go, so that is on my purchase list. My question is, will I be sorely disappointed in the *continuous* AF ability for things that move (for both stills and video), coming from Canon DSLRs? As best I can tell I'd be very happy with single point AF using the adapter, but I don't want to be too frustrated by the continuous AF experience when shooting sports, for example. As an FYI in case it helps, when shooting action, I don't tend to use tracking, but rather prefer to keep a single AF point on top of my target. Will I have to get something like the X-T3 minimum to be happy? Is the performance with adapted lenses comparable to an entry-level Canon DSLR, or can I expect more? Any advice is very much appreciated, the more pragmatic the better.

If you use a Fringer adapter performance with an X-T3 and good EF glass will match that of a high end Canon body. I shoot birds in flight and the setup works wonderfuly.

it certainly works well but no comparison to native
