Note that a Fotodiox adapter without electronic controls (manual focus and no IS) is $19.95, but the full electronic “smart adapter” that allows the AF is $199.95

Not applicable to vintage lenses.

Correct - just referring to Canon EOS AF lenses. FDs and FLs will of course be full manual including manual aperture control. Same with vintage Nikon lenses, BUT the OP specifically referred to AF lenses.

I tried to adapt Nikon lenses to Fuji. The adapter is made well but I did not have the ability to use autofocus. Also, consider whether you have a G type lens, without aperture control It might make a difference as to which adapter you buy. If you don’t have an aperture control on your lens, it will be harder to use aperture priority as well. My Nikon lenses all have aperture controls but I found the weight distribution to be off and no autofocus. I just checked the Fotodiox website to and am not seeing an adapter that will keep the autofocus ability for Nikon to Fuji. If you have a Fuji camera and want to save some older Nikon lenses, it might be worth considering but call Fotodiox or a reputable store first.

I purchased the Canon adaptor for a Fuji X-T3 camera (a Fringer Pro II) and it seems to be working very well. You have to make a change in your settings for your electronic functions to work. Find the setting for "shoot without lens" and turn that on. Otherwise, the camera will look for a Fuji lens before it will allow you to shoot. I forgot to do this when I first tried out the adaptor and was sad the autofocus wasn't working... then remembered what I'd read before ordering. Yay!

I was thinking there was something else I adjusted at some point... and now it escapes me. Anyway... it hurt to pay that much but it will only hurt once. :-)

I have the K&F Concepts Fujifilm X to Nikon F mount and it works perfect....as a manual adapter. I use it for my macro/micro focus stacking sessions where I mount Nikon and other vintage gear onto the Fujifilm mirrorless camera.

I have yet to find an autofocus adapter for X mount to F mount.

Until quite recently there were NO AF adapters for Nikons F mount. They have started to appear to a few mounts in the last couple of years, so it may not be to long before they become available for Fuji. However my impression is that smart adapters for MFT & e-mount are far more common. It may be that the fuji side of the electronics is not well known among the 3rd party manufacturers.
