Anyone have or tried using EF mounts on the XH1? if so how is it, and which ones do you recommend?

That's an unfair comparison, the 135L is known to be a mediocre performer compared to pretty much any fast 135 except the ancient Nikkor 135DC. I would have been shocked if the XF90 hadn't significantly outperformed the 135L. A Sigma 135/1.8 or Zeiss 135/2 will be a completely different story.

Based on my research, the Fringer AF adapter is the way to go, specifically the version II. It gets you access to a number of lenses with no equivalent in native mount. The 400DOII in particular is an enticing option, as are the various xxx-600 zooms.

I have tried the Steelsring adapter mith my X-H1. I was not able to update the firmware with my my iMac. The AF performance was not good and image quality was worse than Fuji lenses.

Hello, I have just ordered a mount converter from EF to FX, Fringer FR-FX2. (I have X-H1)

I had Canon or Nikon Cameras, and preferred SIGMA lenses.

( This limits AF to work on phase detection focus points, so coverage is almost half for X-H1. )

Already I confirmed my favorite SIGMA 70mm Art macro works with previous model FR-FX1,

and expect old 24mm F1.8 EX DG ASPHERICAL MACRO to work (AF, face/eye detection) with it.

Here you can find the confirmed lens list;

Today I used Tamron 24-70mm F2.8(A007), and SIGMA Art 70mm macro, through Fringer FR-FX2 (Portrait).

Both lenses are on the list, but I can't say they work perfectly.

Sometimes face/eye detection was lost, let's say, 2-3 shots out of 10, and I needed to wait face detection recovered.
