I am looking to purchase this lens: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tamron-SP-A...00091451?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item3f24c8fd3b
17-50mm 2.8 so I can use it wide for weddings and with my flycam nano and then at 50mm for interviews. Is there a 4/3rds to canon EF adapter? I have been searching but only see canon EF to 4/3rds adapters. Also, does anyone have a better lens recommendation for a lens that will be used for wider shots with my flycam nano and at live events such as weddings/marathon races?

I am also debating on getting a panasonic 14mm and switching it out with a canon fd 50mm lens instead, but then I would be switching lenses too often in live events and couldnt get that in between range.

thanks!

Yes sorry for the correction, i already have the canon FD mount and a couple canon fd lenses but I am looking to sell my Canon 7d and getting a 2nd Panasonic GH2 so an adapter to use my GH2 with my Canon EF lenses and adding this Tamron 17-50mm lens is the goal!
 
Thomas is correct.

As far as I know, to use that Tamron lens, you will either need an adapter with a built in aperture control like this one:

or an active adapter such as this one that powers the iris :

Your other option that should work is getting a Nikon lens such as this one with manual aperture control:

and then you would need a regular (cheap) Nikon to m43 adapter.

I have no experience with any of these suggestions but in theory the should all work.
