Panasonic AF100 ENG lens Adapter

[Sgdevilzz]

I found an ENG lens, the Fujinon S17x6.6BRM 1/2".

It's an old lens but i'm just trying to make it work on my camera since I do events/concerts and needed a servo zoom. I was wondering if there are any B4 1/2" adapters to MFT? It'll definitely be cheaper than having to buy another Camera

But he is using a lens with 2x extender to widen image circle and also HD version of the lens.
Very informative article on the topic.

Dive into the menu and look for a telephoto crop mode that uses just a portion of the sensor for recording (the GH2 has this mode; maybe the AF100 has too?)
Then get this adapter

This adapter is 2/3" B4 though...

Then this might work.

Extended Tele mode in GH2 shrinks the active sensor area to slightly under 1/3"

Thanks for the link! 2x extender brings down the lens by 2 stops which is quite disappointing for event use. Especially when the AF100 noise is very obvious above 1000.

Then this might work.

Yeah the lens I have is a 1/2". I guess local stores do not carry these adapters? Not a fan of online purchases though.
