Nope. If you want AF, I don't think Nikon has an adapter that works for any mirrorless system yet. I believe Canon AF works on Micro Four Thirds with a Speedbooster XL. Doing this isn't practical though and would pretty much negate any weight savings.

The Fuji 16-50 F2.8 is a great lens and really, pretty much every lens made in the last few years that isn't a cheap piece of junk is a good lens. All new cameras are good cameras now. Anyone that thinks there's a serious difference between a new Canon 24-70 and a new Nikon 24-70 is insane. If you spend the money, the equipment will be good. I haven't used a bad camera in years but I can't be bothered to pixel peep at 400%.

DOF won't get as shallow as FF but I haven't noticed one bit since going APS-C from a FF camera 6 months ago.

Buy a small camera that fits your shooting style, carry that thing every damn day and shoot constantly. That's way more important than some negligible difference on an MTF chart or an AF system that focuses in 0.005s instead of 0.006s.
