Felipe Rodrigues got a reaction from jerryy in I cannot get the xt5 command dial to change the aperture
Thanks for the reply and for the welcome!
I’ve always been a Canon user, but now I’m migrating to Fuji, I didn’t want to lose my previous equipment, so the adapter is going to help a lot! Thanks for the tip also!
I have one Fuji lens (the 16-50mm kit lens), which is great, but if I can use the Canon lens as well, it helps a lot.

I went through this same problem some years ago with the X-T2 and bought the first version of the Fringer adapter that jerryy has suggested. It has worked very well - and given decent AF performance as well as controlling the aperture.

Something such as this:
https://www.fringeradapter.com/canon-ef-to-fujifilm-x
https://fotodioxpro.com/products/ef-fx-fsn
or similar from one of their competitors might work for you.
Canon EF lenses all operate ‘by wire’, the body tells them how to set the auto-focus and f-stop, so you need an electronic adapter, otherwise they will work but shoot with the f-stop wide open.
p.s. Welcome to the forum.

That’s to be expected, you‘d need an adapter with electronic contacts and some „translation“ for the lens. I‘m note sure such an adapter exits.
