EF to Fuji X adapter?

p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · EF to Fuji X adapter?

Apologies if this has been asked before. I tried a search but didn't find much.

I'm thinking of getting back into film using and old Canon EOS camera which I have and am thinking of picking up a few extra EOS lenses. I figure the lenses might also be useful of my Fuji cameras if there is a good electronic adapter that supports AF and lens based IS. I already have one that works well from EOS to Sony E mount.

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with any EOS to Fuji X mount adapters that you would recommend? The lenses I might adapt include the Canon 100mm f2.8 macro, EF 50mm f1.8 STM, and possibly I might get the EF 24-105mm f4 L.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

While I have not used either of these, I do have two of their EF to GFX and one of their Contax 645 to GFX adapters and those two are best in class.

I have used the Fringer pro adapter for quite a while and it is very performant with EOS lenses on Fuji X.

I've been using the original EF-FX Pro for a few years and it works OK (especially with the 200/2.8 for which there is no Fuji equivalent - I use that a lot with the X-H2S and it focuses well) less happy with the 50/1.8 and 24-105/4 but it may be my copies of those lenses.
Make sure you get version III which has just been released - Amazon in some locations is still selling version II.

Thanks for the replies. The Fringer looks nice, though not cheap. Does anyone have any knowledge of how Canon lens based IS syncs or doesn't sync with Fuji IBIS?

Don't know about the X but on the GFX it's one or the other but not both at the same time.

I did a lot of research before I moved from Canon to Fujfilm. Fringer Pro II seemed to be the best, sure it's not cheap. But for what it does it's priceless!

Sigma 18-35 1.8

Sigma 50-100 1.8

Sigma 70-200 2.8

Sigma 150-600C

None of these lenses available on Fujifilm, but I can still use them without problem thanks to something that costs less than a single lens

Thanks Bobster, do you know what the difference is between the Fringer Pro II and Pro III?

Scratch that, Google is my friend and says the Pro III has weather sealing added.

Great call, I've got both the Nikon and Canon adapters from Fringer for both X mount and GFX mount. All of the adapters work very well for me and I've zero regrets purchasing them. They make lens purchases easier for me when I'm looking for something that might not be available in the native mounts. I've had the X mount versions for years now, and the GFX mounts just recently. I hope they make you happy 👍👍

Further update. The adapter arrived and so far I have tested with the Canon 50mm f1.8 STM. I was a bit surprised at the noise of the aperture blades constantly chattering away but I gather this is normal according to Fringer.

It also seems to stop for some reason if the shutter speed is set to anything other than auto.

Are the any EF lenses that are better or worse in this regard?

This is completely normal behavior with both the X and G mount adapters. It's the same for any of my Nikon or Canon lenses, I don't even typically motkce it anymore lol. The exposure is just adjusting so that you can see while composing, and as you've noticed...it won't do it when you lock the shutter speed manually.

You'd never see this condition when shooting manually, it is only evident when the shutter speed is left on auto.

yes, that seems to be the Fringer explanation. I tend to shoot aperture priority. Life is too short to do everything manually.

Haha I don't disagree with you, I shoot manual a lot......but my default straight outta the bag is aperture priority, and has been for many years. I prefer the responsiveness of that as default, just in case something is happening right in front of me in a split second.

In a further update if have been testing a few EF lenses with the Fringer.

The EF 50 f1.8 STM works very well on the Fringer and X-T5. I would say about as good as a native lens, though I haven't done any scientific comparisons. The EF 100 f2.8 macro USM also works quite well though this has never been a favourite of mine in terms of AF abilities.
However, the ancient EF 28-105 f3.5-4.5 USM was pretty bad, often racking backwards and forwards and settling somewhere clearly out of focus. It seems to back focus at close distances at the wide end even when locking focus and also was transmitting incorrect aperture readings, showing f2.8 was available at all ends of the zoom.

Curious about this, I then tried it on a Metabones adapter connected to my Sony A7Riii and was surprised that it focussed pretty much perfectly with that combination. In fact I am yet to come across an EF lens that doesn't perform well using the Metabones/Sony combo. I'd surmise that the Fringer firmware doesn't work well with this lens.

I also did some sharpness tests and I can happily confirm that despite the wonky AF, this ancient lens is ready for the Fuji 40mp sensor and could be put on the infamous Fuji list! Considering it is 30-year-old design, images we plenty sharp when properly focussed.

If I recall correctly, you can contact Fringer about the lens issues you have and they are pretty responsive to making firmware updates to fix issues with specific lenses. They might be able to take care of the wonky focus issues with your 28-105mm.

So I put the H2S into Aperture Priority and there wasn't any chattering of the blades.. Then I put it into Shutter Priority and of course to keep up with the change in scene and live view the aperture blades opened and closed.
