Hi All

 

I have just joined this forum and I have a question about adapting Canon lenses for use on my X-T1. I recently purchased an X-T1 and am really, really happy with it.

 

I previously used a Canon EOS 550D and have several very nice lenses for that camera. I am wondering whether I can obtain and adapter so that I can use some of these lenses (specifically my Canon EFS 10-22mm) on the X-T1. And if I can, which adapter do I need and where can I purchase one?

 

Apologies of these are really naive questions, but any responses would be appreciated.

 

cheers, Vince

on line you will find a number of adaptors some will have no aperture at all ( depends on the lens that you want to adapt) and some will, for the lenses that haven’t , some will have electrical contacts ( and external power supply) some will have also focal reducing capabilities like the Zhongyi lens turbo II.

 

Adapting zooms is not very useful when you lose the autofocus.

 

Adapting wideangles will be impractical and won’t yield great results anyway. 

 

So, in the end you will see that unless you are single minded adaptive photography will only ever be a marginal part of your photography because the caveats are way more than the advantages over the lenses of the Fuji system ( Unless you want to have a race car on the hand brake all the time).

The EF lenses don't adapt very well to Fujifilm or most other brands. There seem to be some adapters to make them work reasonably well with Sony, but not really other brands. My recommendation would be to sell that lens and purchase the 10-24mm F/4 version from Fuji. You will definitely end up with better results. The main reason the EF lenses from Canon, and a lot of newer lenses in general, don't adapt well is they require electrical contacts to adjust aperture and to focus. I adapt some old FD lenses and some old k-mount ones with great success, but they all have manual aperture rings. I've sold all but one of my collection of Canon EF lenses, almost all of which were L versions. I have an adapter for the EF lenses, but never really used it for that reason.

well, you are right, BUT, as amply shown above, there are adaptors ( with aperture possibility) and there are adaptors ( just adapting the bayonet and nothing else).

 

However I agree, I would not use this 1-22 an I wouldn’t use any adapted wideangle lens or a zoom or any other lens that only makes sense if used in autofocus.

I have looked into some that showed the aperture ring like above with the 1-6 numbers. The reviews weren't great and I think trying to control aperture with numbers 1-6 would be sort of hit or miss as well. The one that has the scroll wheel may be the most promising. I am down to one EF lens, the 50mm F/1.2L and will probably sell it this year though it would be fun to adapt if the aperture and AF worked.

Understood, but the lenses have more than 6 stops in aperture values so it either won't be doing the full range or somewhere in the middle it wouldn't be adjusting at full stops. Using the 50mm F/1.2 I still have. Would "1" be 1.2 or 1.4? If it would be 1.2, does that mean "2" would be 1.4 or would it then be 1.8?

6 stops  from the base is plenty.

 

1.2> 2> 2.4 >4> 4.8.> 8

 

1.4 > 1.8> 2.8 > 3.5 > 5.6> 7

 

each two values the value doubles as it does on your apertures. The reason why you can’t have too many apertures is that ( due to the position it is, incorrect really) it will vignette at some point.

 

The expensive ( $500!!!!)  electric one will actually operate the lens aperture electrically ( very cumbersome it has a separate source of electricity, that white box)

      Photos on Angelbird AV Pro SX 160GB vs SE 512GB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      Im not partal to any brad, just opted to try these based on apparent price / performance.  I'm always looking for best bang per buck, hence Fuji I guess - haha Reliabilty does not concern me, as I always shoot to two cards for pro work (and burst shooting is not a part of that). Made sense for me to get the cheapest / fastest CF cards for hobby shooting.     I just got a Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB cheep (as the back-up card).   As long as neither of these freeze the camera I hope its a cheep solution for my needs. (AB AV Pro SE 512Gb and Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB).  Half a gig of redunat storge for $200USD is something I can live with. (Especially considering I can bust the hell out of the Anglebird). Cheers, Tomek

      Charing battery inside the X-H2 over USB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      Would using an external charger be of benefit to the batteries life? I appreace it can be faster, but I doin't mind pluging in the camera over USB to charge. Does charging via the camera do as good a job as lets say the fuji's own external charger? Does the camera stop charging once the battry is full and not over charge? I couldn't find these deatails in these forums or in the manual. Thank you!   Image below shot on X-T2 in a sunny studio.

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By jerryy · Posted

      It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.

      Sigma 500mm F4 + XH2S?

      By Stogursey · Posted

      I think my Fuji 150-600 F8 is a brilliant wildlife lens in terms of sharpness, portability and value but the small aperture does cause issues at the start and end of the day - even pushing the ISO as far as I dare, I can see shutter speed down to 1/25s - stabilisation isn't an issue but asking a deer to stand still for that is too much! In the same situation, an F4 would give 1/100s so the difference to the success rate would be phenomenal... and that's without the other improvements like shallower depth of field. I also find that the Fuji's subject detect AF gets pretty iffy in low light - I keep updating to the latest firmware but it doesn't seem to get any better. I was originally looking at the Nikon 500mm F4 E but good examples secondhand are still reasonably expensive but like-for-like Sigma lenses are around half the price. Reviews I have read suggest that they are as good optically, AF performance and IS-wise but you gain a few hundred grams of weight (but less than the older Nikon model). For a couple of grand, I can live with that. Does anyone have any experience mounting one on an XH2S? What about with the 1.4 teleconverter? It feels like that is pushing it anyway - hefty lens + TC + Fringer all sounds a bit...wobbly? It is on the Fringer approved list but I am wary about AF speed in particular. I had also considered looking for a used Nikon 400mm F2.8, which would be even faster (and heavier) and could couple with a TC to give 560mm F4 but again, it is that lens+TC+Fringer combination that worries me as being just too many links in the chain. Of course, what I really want is a native Fuji prime but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon - and if you look at what Nikon and Sony are doing, if Fuji do ever bring out a 500mm prime, it will probably be a small, light and cheapish F5.6, which is only 2/3 stop better than my zoom at the same focal length. Any thoughts anyone?
