Adapters for Fujifilm X

Fringer's NF-FX: Nikon F lenses on Fujifilm X cameras

Fringer lists 77 Nikon lenses and 63 from Sigma, Tamron and Tokina that it has tested and set up for the camera's phase-detection autofocus (firmware 2.10). AF-S and AF-P lenses autofocus; older AF and AF-D lenses, which have no focus motor of their own, focus by hand. Its camera list names 12 of the 13 Fujifilm X cameras here; the X-T30 III is not on it.

Fringer's NF-FX adapters fit Nikon F-mount lenses to Fujifilm X cameras, with autofocus on lenses that have their own motor. Fujifilm does not make or support them; these are Fringer's own lists of the lenses and cameras it has tested, and what to set on the camera.

Fringer NF-FX II

The current version: more compact than the first, with a weather-sealed design and a USB-C port for updates. A motor inside sets the aperture of D, G and E lenses alike. The first NF-FX takes the same firmware.

On every camera on the list, a lens Fringer has set up focuses with phase detection at every focus point, Wide and Tracking included. Boost mode: Fringer's manual says the X-Trans IV cameras may then prefer contrast autofocus, and that the X-Trans V cameras have no such limit. Stabilisation: with a lens that has none, the camera's own works, and Fringer says it handles lenses shorter than 100 mm well. Fringer's page

Which lenses

Fringer's list for firmware 2.10 has 217 lines, a lens with a teleconverter counted as a line of its own: 77 Nikon lenses and 63 from Sigma, Tamron and Tokina. For each one the adapter also carries a profile that corrects colour fringing in the camera's JPEGs.

Teleconverters: Fringer tested Nikon's TC-14E II, TC-17E II and TC-20E III. The three Tamron lenses marked with a lens firmware need that version, from Tamron's TAP-in Console (85 mm) or a Tamron service centre (35 mm and 45 mm). Fringer's list

What carries across

Autofocus on AF-S and AF-P lenses and on autofocus lenses from the main third-party makers, with phase detection on the lenses Fringer lists, for photos and video, face and eye detection included.
The aperture of D, G and E lenses, set with the camera's dial.
Correction of colour fringing in the camera's JPEGs, for the lenses on the list.
Stabilisation in VR, OS and VC lenses, switched by the camera's IS MODE setting.
The lens data in each file: the lens, its focal length and the f-number.

What to know first

AF and AF-D lenses focus by hand: their focus motor was in the Nikon DSLR. Set an AF-D lens's aperture ring to its smallest aperture (the highest number) and choose the aperture on the camera.
Lenses not on the list: most work, with contrast autofocus only, which is slower; some, among them some Tamron lenses, may not work at all.
A small focus point uses contrast autofocus only: Fringer suggests the medium size.
Metering with D and G lenses: their aperture is set through a lever, so with the shutter speed on automatic the camera may meter at a slightly different aperture. Setting the shutter speed yourself avoids it, and also stops the aperture clicking as the light changes while you frame.

Framing

On these cameras an F lens, DX or FX, frames 1.5 times tighter than its focal length, as on a Nikon DX DSLR: a 50 mm frames like 75 mm.

Updating it

Fringer adds lenses through firmware updates; the current one is 2.10, for both versions. Take the adapter off the camera, connect it to a computer with a cable that carries data, and copy the file to the drive named FRINGER.

Questions

Do Nikon AF-D lenses autofocus on the NF-FX?

No. AF and AF-D lenses were focused by a motor in the Nikon DSLR, and the adapter has none, so they focus by hand. The adapter still sets their aperture.

Does the Fringer NF-FX autofocus on the X-T5?

Yes, with AF-S and AF-P lenses. Fringer's camera list names the X-T5, and the lenses on its list focus with phase detection at every focus point.

Does the Fringer NF-FX work on the X-T30 III?

Fringer's camera list does not name it yet. That means Fringer has not listed it, not that it fails.

Can I use G lenses without an aperture ring?

Yes. A motor in the adapter sets the aperture of G and E lenses, and you choose it with the camera's dial.
