I found the article that explains it much better then I.
Adapters have been around for years, but they never worked well. The
extra length they added to a lens meant that it would be mounted too far
off the body, and couldn’t focus at infinity. But because these new
cameras don’t have mirror boxes, their native lenses sit much closer to
the sensor. Adapters, then, have to move DSLR lenses further away. This is why they work so well with these little cameras.
