B4 Lenses on the Gh's is tempting. Came across a video where someone used one with a GH3

If it's helpful; found a group with other examples: https://www.facebook.com/groups/B4onM43/

This appears to not be in the deals section anymore.

Sorry to kick up an old thread (not sure of the rules, if you prefer new threads for questions or searching through old ones).

In the market for a B4 lens, need an adapter to make it useable on my GH2. Any help?

If you shop around and are patient you can find one for $150 ish, less if you are really lucky.

You could get one here for under $200 right now: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/NEW-B4-to-micro-4-3-lens-adapter-Canon-Fujinon-2-3-Panasonic-AF100-GH1-GH2-/170888639649?pt=US_Lens_Adapters_Mounts_Tubes&hash=item27c9c1b4a1&_uhb=1

One tip: if you are going the B4 ENG lens route, get one with a built in 2x extender. I have a 9-108 with a built in 2x and it covers the full sensor with the extender activated, without it, I have to use the GH2's EX-TELE crop, which is not ideal.

Be warned though: often a lot of the image characteristics are not all that pleasant. They offer really useful ranges for ENG style shooting, but they are usually not very good for commercial or cinematic work. Unless you're going for that cheap video/news look. There are a few beautiful ENG lenses out there, but they will cost you as much as a new car... and they won't get you as far.

@kingmixer, that's some good stuff.
