2/3 lens adapter from Abel Cine

We recent did a comparison of the Abel HDx2 B4 to PL adapter to the MFT B4 to m4/3 adapter. The MTF adapter is very similar to the Cieceo7. We were pretty impressed with how well a good quality lens with an internal doubler on the MTF B4 to m4/3 adapter compared to the HDx2 Solution. You can read the details and see the footage on my blog.

hey guys just recieved my B4 to m3/4 adaptor this afternoon and finally got to test it ( very briefly ). The lens i'm using is a FUJINON A15X8BEVM-28B. It works quite well when stopped down a bit as it is quite soft wide open ( i might have to play with the lens,cam settings a little ). I was wondering what apature you guys are using on the lens outside in the sun where you find your lens is sharp ( i know all lenses will differ ) I found f5.6 on the lens produced a great image. What do you stop your lenses down to sharpen it ? or do you shoot wide open at f1.8 ?

PS: included a pic @ f5.6 :

Hola Victor,
¿Cual era la apertura? ¿16mm Cooke lente sin 2x? ¿Come que no viñetea en los rincones? ¿Lente teleobjetivo?
Gracias
 
So what would be an affordable good B4 lens to pair with the AF100? I'm not to familiar with all the model numbers in these.
 
Help...

Whilst adjusting the backfocus on my Canon 2/3 lens I over tightened the screw and it snapped off. I believe its designed to do that as a safety feature, but anyhow, anybody know where I can source a replacement

thanks
