I had an adaptor but sold it. As others mentioned, AF is slow and unreliable. If you are willing to use MF, it does give you aperture control and the IS in the Canon lens also works.
Canon lenses need phase detect sensors to focus well. Most MFT cameras don't have that. The EM-1 and G9 have PD, but not the cameras you mentioned. I doubt that a more expensive adaptor can compensate for the lack of PD focussing.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
