HI everybody

I have a Canon 70D and I am thinking in buying a Fujifilm XT3 because that one is lighter and good for photo street but I know that it is mirrorless.

Since my budget is not big, I would like to use the objectives I bought for my Canon 70D. But i wonder if that is possible.

I don't think that I am going to have so much problems with my vintage objectives, but I doubt about the new ones.

Do you know if there are adapters that allow autofocus?

Do you consider that objectives for Canon with the help of an adapter could perform with Fujifilm XT3 as good as they did it with a Canon camera?

I recently got an x-t3 so I can get back out there making images again. I have a few recent pics in the gallery. So far I'm very happy with it, I just greatly prefer the x-trans sensor in these, it looks a bit less 'digital'. I'm getting my head around using Capture One, which seems to be the best application to handle fuji raw files. I'm liking the app, but I try to keep things to a minimum as I don't want to spend hours editing on a screen.

No - the lenses are adapted using a third-party adapter. Because there are no electronics in the adapter (it is a manual focus lens with a mechanical iris), the adapters are inexpensive. I think mine is a Fotodiox adapter, and I got it for around $30-40 US from B&H Photo. There are adapters available for just about every common manual focus lens series - Canon, Contax, Olympus, Pentax, Minolta, Nikon, Leica M, Leica R, Leica LTM, probably others.
