B4 to MFT adapter - anyone using it on the GH4?

[salvo]

Hi Everyone,

Just got my GH4 with a 14-45mm lumix today. I also have an old Fujinon TV Z 10 - 140mm, 1:1.9 zoom with a 2X doubler. I'd like to adapt it to my GH4. Has anybody had luck with it and which brand do recommend?

Thanks in advance,
Salvo

Pretty sure it'll vignette. I can't remember if Novoflex makes an adapter for C-mount.

i have tried a fuji 9-118 with a b4-eos plus eos-m43. does need the 2x doubler OR the gh4 crop mode.

i haven't thought to try using just the kenko 1.4x yet.

Thanks Darren, I think I'll order one the cheap Amazon B4 to MFT adapter. Was going get the Fotodiox but it dose not have the mount support for that heavy lens. The advantages is that I get a fast true para-focal lens with power zoom control.

Here's a link to a test comparing two B4 to MFT adapters on the AF100 camera.
Upshot is that some B4 lenses are better than others so testing is in order.
