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 guess I have really bad luck for the Fringer adapter I purchased a few months ago was bad.  The adapter caused the EVF to reset/flicker on and off.  That freaked me out and did not liked that experience at all and I got scared and afraid that devices like that could blow up or ruin my camera therefore I returned it.

Also the adapter would not AF my Nikon 70-200 F4 properly and the AF would start auto focusing by itself and out of wack.  Call me a chicken but I don’t trust those things now 😬

So yeah I prefer native lenses.
