Canon lenses on Fujifilm: I'm thinking about switching to a Fujifilm camera body, maybe the X-H1. Has anyone used Canon lenses, especially macro, on Fuji bodies? What adapter did you...

I'm thinking about switching to a Fujifilm camera body, maybe the X-H1. Has anyone used Canon lenses, especially macro, on Fuji bodies? What adapter did you use and how well did it work? And what is your impression of Fuji overall, like the XT-2?

Thanks.

Fuji's are excellent cameras and the X-H1 is great but I'd stick to native lenses, Fuji's lenses are superb. I haven't heard of Canon adapter but maybe because I've never had any Canon camera or lenses! Other than Fuji the other lens I use with my Fuji is the Leica Summicron-R (with an adapter). I also have used with Nikon lenses, it has to be manual but works fine.

Thanks. But as far as I know, there aren't any long Fuji macro lenses, like 180-200mm, so if I do this I am hoping that I could use my existing lens or maybe there is a long macro for Fuji of which I'm not aware.

The Fuji 80mm Macro might just be the sharpest lens in their lineup. Fuji has some really sharp optics and there are many compelling reasons to go with a Fuji body. The XT20 will give you most all the goodies of its big brothers and save you a few bucks in getting into the system.

You can use your existing Canon lens on the Fuji. I have adapted my Nikon mount Tamron 180mm f/3.5 macro lens to my Fuji X-T2. There are many adapters available for Canon to Fuji, ranging in price from under $20 to over $300. The one I'm using cost me only $14 on eBay and it works fine.

I have a Fujifilm X-T20 and a Nikon D810. I purchased a 'Nikon to Fufifilm X series lens adapter' made by K&F and it works perfect which allows me to use all of my Nikon lenses on the Fujifilm. I got it on Ebay for less than $30. It is very well made and I was quite impressed.

The adapter has a aperture adjustment on it to adjust "G" series lenses. Focus is manual however I find that it helps me to think more about the shot which frankly, for me is a good thing.
