The Fuji adapter permits wonderful software integration with the camera body to allow enlargement/the very precise manual focussing of the image as seen by the lens, in the view finder. This allows precise critical focussing, very helpful when shooting with very limited dof, eg the Noctilux and the lux 75mm 1.4. Also correction of any distortions produced by a lens, I have not yet used this feature, as it has not been needed.
