B4 lenses on a GH3, Canon/Fujinon

Hello everyone. I am getting ready to purchase a GH3 body and am looking at several B4 TV lenses for GH3. I am actually really surprised at how little info I could find online. Maybe I am just looking in the wrong places. The footage I have seen with Canon or Fujinon lenses hasn't been quite that impressive, more like quick sales videos of the lenses. As far as I know these lenses are awesome..cheap..good zoom and did I say cheap. So what I am looking at is a Canon J14ax8.5B4 If w/2x extender. I have almost limitless supplies of these type lenses. I just don't have personal experience with most of them. Any suggestions, things to look out for or any resources with good example footage?

Thanks!

Most of the video online, in relation to B8 ENG lenses, is lackluster because it is being done by DIYers and they are using SD (standard definition) lenses.

If you want a good image, you are going to have to buy an HD ENG lens. The cheapest average is around $6k on eBay, although I have seen them for around $1500.
