A quickie summary is that if you buy the Fuji adapter the camera sets up for a non-Fuji lens and opens a menu for putting in some data on the actual lens used..... Worth $185 ?????? I am not so sure.... The alternative is to manually go to the menu and get to the setup page on your own.... Haven't used this, most important is ability to magnify and precisely focus on the scene you wish to photograph. This is invaluable. You will spend far more to send camera/lens to DAG to have rangefinder adjusted. The adapter also features electronic contacts for communicating signals with the camera body and a function button to allow users to easily choose necessary settings and functions (Shoot Without Lens, focal length settings, various image corrections, etc.). * The bright frame, shown in the Optical Viewfinder mode, changes according to the defined focal length for easy shooting. ** * Requires a user firmware update. The applicable firmware will be available from early June. ** The frame may not be displayed for lenses of particular focal lengths. Signal contacts and the new Function Button for easy shooting When the camera body recognizes the signal contacts of the Mount Adapter, the "Shoot Without Lens" mode is activated automatically. Users do not have to go to the MENU screen in order to change this setting, enabling them to start shooting instantly. Pressing the Function Button brings up the Mount Adapter Setting mode instantaneously. This provides ease of operation when registering a new lens to use, entering its settings or changing a lens.

I'm not sure what the yes/no means.... and the Fuji page is more than vague..... But it seems logical that the rear through-aperture on the adapter may prevent certain lenses (mostly WA with big rear or deep elements) from being mounted.
