I have the same issue. I included the steps I followed below.

1.

I customised the front dial to change aperture and set the lens to A.

I have the rear dial set to Shutter speed

Result:

Front dial won't change the aperature.

Rear dial will change shutter speed

 

2.

I then customise the front dial to change Shutter speed & Iso

I customised the back dial to change aperture

Result:

Front dial changes shutter speed, when I push the front dial in I can select the ISO, now the front dial changes the Iso

Rear dial won't change aperature

 

I tried this with two fuji lenses.

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.

Yes, the adapter is manual and doesn’t include the electronic contacts. I knew I’d lose autofocus, but I thought it would be it. Manual focus can be handled, but losing aperture control is very limiting.

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.

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.
