I'm wondering if there is a mount adapter for Fujifilm X series using Nikon lenses that would allow all the functions such as autofocus etc.
Personally I did not find any on the Internet.
Thanks,
Karl.

There is no smart adapter for Nikkor to Fujifilm XF on the market yet.
Fringer makes one for EOS EF to Fujifilm XF though and I use it from time to time with good success.

There are prototypes out there but nothing available to the general public. A Nikon AF adapter with auto aperture control is very difficult to do due to the different aperture actuation mechanisms between the D, G, and E variants of Nikon lenses. Even Nikon's own adapter for their own Z system isn't fully compatible with all Nikon lenses.

Thank you, I'll keep an eye on it. I have an X-T30 and it would be fun to try it with longer Nikon lenses.
