TechArt Pro.It works with "most" Canon and Sigma lenses.

As well as Steelsring,Kipon,Fotodiox.

I hope the TechArt adapter is better than their Pro M for E-mount. I bought one of those a few months ago for my A7 MkII and while it does indeed work, honestly, it's not great. It has gone back in the box and will end up on eBay, I think. The positive reviews are undoubtedly a result of the product filling a niche rather than doing so elegantly. Fotodiox's adapter is near-enough identical in functionality, being an unauthorised copy of the TechArt product.

I'd want to see very stringent tests of such an adapter (along with various lenses) in a multitude of photographic situations before I'd consider that a viable solution for full-frame third-party lenses on a GFX.

I'd prefer to see a native Fujifilm product for adapting third party lenses. Then, I might consider the GFX a viable 35mm full frame solution - but still, as you say, there's the slower performance... and, for most people, the cost. So it's still not really a full frame solution. Just a means of bending a medium format solution to suit, more-or-less...

They dont know what patents are!

I am most likely picking up an X-T3 in the very near future and maybe a couple of lenses. It is mostly for video and sports/action shooting since I shoot for a surfing/beach clothing brand and they are requesting more action shots. The video features are really nice and I am thinking of adapting some vintage lenses for certain looks for video. I plan to keep shooting Pentax for my portraits and occasional landscapes.

Good idea...check this stuff.

Everyone needs to make a decision based on what they want from their camera system. For anyone smart, marketing doesn't come into the picture.

Advantages of Fujifilm over Pentax?

- Smaller
- Lighter
- Better AF (especially accuracy)*
- Better exposure*
- Better range of designed-for-APS-C lenses, especially if you like small primes**
- Better video
- Virtually any lens can be adapted to them*
- Fantastic SOOC jpegs
- Much faster development of new lenses
- On-lens aperture rings (in most cases) feel more natural to use

Disadvantages:

- Much more expensive for what you get, especially if you want WR
- No cheap lens options
- Virtually no third-party lens support
- Some people don't live EVFs or focusing using a screen
- Many lenses are much more expensive than the nearest equivalent for Pentax
- Poorer ergonomics (debatable but generally an SLR shape fits the hand better than a small mirrorless camera)
- No IBIS on most models
- No upgrade path to FF (though if you want FF just buy it, systems need to be bought for what they are now, not what they may become later)
- No limited lenses (Fuji lenses are small and generally made of metal but they lack the feel and class of the limiteds)

* These are theoretically advantages of any well-implemented mirrorless system over SLRs
** This is debatable of course but they're small and generally faster and very, very sharp with great rendering
