My experience of adapters has been ‘meh’ to say the least. Admittedly my experience is not all that extensive but personally nothing beats a native mount lens.

I do agree, a long prime would be perfect. 400mm f/4 was what came to my mind at first but for my sports work I think I’d benefit more from 300mm, could also be f/4 although f3.5 would do as well. When I shoot with the 100-400 I would say 10% of the shots are at 400mm, for football that FL is just a little too tight for my liking.

I’m sure Morris can give them a few pointers!

Let's see. The Fringer may be the best of a not-so-great bunch, but my experience with them has been good (EF FX Pro ii and EF-GFX versions).

But if I were a sports-pro, I wouldn't be so keen to rely on a niche adapter rather than something backed up by a big brand. That said, a sports-pro could probably justify fitting one on each of your exotics and having a spare in the bag in case of failure.

But, my main point here is Fuji seem to have left a vacuum in their lens range which is highlighted significantly by the launch of the X-H2S, especially given how well-received it's AF performance seems to have been.
