EF lenses on Fuji - will I hate it?

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.

You shouldn't have any problems at all. I can only speak to X-e3, X-T30, and X-T4 but Canon 400/5.6 and now Canon 400DOii work fine together via Fringer Pro. The Canon 100-400ii as well but I sold that lens preferring the Fuji 100-400 (I had the Canon, Tamron, and Fuji 100-400s all at the same time to compare before selling off).

Like Morris said, make sure the lens is seated well. I had 'lock up' today with X-T4 and 400DOii via Fringer Pro and had to turn off the camera, remove, then reattach the lens...then all was good.

Here's one with the X-T4+Canon 400mm F5.6
