A Poor Fit
The Metabones Nikon F Lens to Fujifilm X-Mount Camera T Adapter, Black Matte was a POOR FIT in multiple ways.
First off, Adorama's Customer Service was Excellent and it was returned and cost refunded. Arorama's rating... an A+. The Metabones gets an F.
Okay, the specific setup for the adapter:
Camera: Fujifilm X-T2 (new)
Lens: Voigtlander 58mm f/1.4 Nokton silver Nikon F mount (new)
There was some rotation between the Metabones and the Fujifilm lens mount. It was not a "solid" fit.
There was too much play, several millimeters, noisy/clanky play between the Metabones and Voigtlander. This did not make me happy! The tolerances made it too loose for the Nokton so it was "floppy" NOT a snug/perfect fit. This was why it was returned. It was a poor fit.
The Metabones adapter is solid. It was nicely finished. While I understand the purpose of the interior flocking, I was worried that fragments break loose and enter my X-T2.
The tripod adapter is great. It accepts Arca-Swiss and is threaded. If it is removed you will find 4 holes beneath. Two threaded and two other "blind" holes. That's four in total. You may need to use some gaffer tape over them, but the tripod mount is great and does not interfere with my RRS base plate.
The item description lists a tripod foot key (Allen key) and a one year limited warranty, but neither were included in the box, not that there was "room" in there to begin with.
Both Adorama and I (twice for me) contacted Metabones and neither of us ever received a reply. So BEWARE, DO NOT EXPECT Metabones to be responsive to your needs should an issue arise.
It's a nice looking adapter even if the flocking weirded me out a bit, but for the Fujifilm X-T2 and Voigtlander 58mm f/1.4 Nokton was a very poor and loose fit. Not at all as Metabones advertises it's fit. I went with the more expensive yet perfectly matched Rayqual adapter from the Voigtlander dealer CameraQuest. I was concerned about it's fit after the Metabones. I can tell you that for the X-T2 and Voigtlander 58mm it is a PERFECT match. I hope this help. Again, I want to thank the awesome Adorama customer service for all they did and I remain a happy Adorama customer. ~SnailsPlace (IG)

Great tool for vintage lenses.
Fits tight on the lens and camera body with no play. Works wonderfully.
