Hi all

I'm pondering all sorts of possibilities for my future gear collection and one is to sell off my Fuji gear and move to a M series Canon system running alongside Canon FF

Anyway, I know it is possible to use my Fuji lenses with the M body and I know I'd lose AE and IS. My question is would I be able o change the aperture using the lens on the Canon or not. Obviously I'm talking about the Fuji lenses with an aperture ring, which is most of them.

I like my Fuji lenses and I'd be happy to use a camera in manual mode with manual focus and exposure calculation.

Anyway, I'd be interested if it's possible and also if anyone has done it and if so how it worked out.

Thanks
 
I know that you can use Canon lenses on Fuji via adapters, not heard about it other way around. Have you actually seen this done? Why not just adapt EF and EF-S lenses?
 
Can’t see why not if you can get the correct adaptor I.e Fuji to canon e.f . I have a ever growing collection of

legacy glass based on adapter availability
 
It is easy to fit legacy dslr glass to any mirrorless.
It is far more difficult to fit Mirrorless glass to another make of mirrorless, unless there were a sufficient difference in mount sensor registration and usually there is not.

Why not diss all you canon kit and enlarge your range of Fuji kit.

Mirrorless to mirrorless doesn't work, think about it, they both have no mirror space to fill via an adapter, unless the M50 is a bit further back, which I doubt as it's tiny, then it can't physically work.
 
Well that answers that then :)

Thanks for the clarification
 
Another possible difficulty might be that although some Fuji lenses have an aperture ring, this doesn't actually change the aperture, it just communicates the turn to the camera which in turn adjusts the aperture electronically. I think!
