canon and nikon lawyers would have a field day if such a product were to exist from fuji, as it would be viewed as highly uncompetitive. canon at least, don't know about nikon, never licensed their lens protocols to any third party lens manufacturers, just to a select few cinema camera companies.

and how would an adapter from fuji to canon ef be different than the fringer one? except weather sealing, which fringer could add in a future version. fuji opened their protocols to whoever wants to use them so it's just a matter of time before fringer release an updated firmware with some fixes to bring their protocols in line with fuji's. the ef side of the adapter would still be reverse engineered

Fringer has already worked with Fuji, at least there site states so. Using the Fringer adapter it feels like I'm using native Fuji glass with both Nikon and Canon lenses. I do wish the adapters were weather sealed.

I only regret that the Fringer EFX for Canon hasn't the optimization for the 300 2,8 LIS.

perhaps I will try again with the XH2S to see how the AF work, but on a XT3 it's not really impressive ...

It appears that Fringer only supports the EF 300/2.8L IS II.  Have you tried offering to work with Fringer to support the original version?  They have done this in the past.

Without support, you will get contrast AF and that will work yet will be slow.
