I have a DP6 and a friction arm that I attach to the AF's top handle. Definitely want to get something smaller like an Alphatron. Going to wait til after NAB this year to make any purchase though.
I just bought AF100 and need suggestions on lens

Hi. I'm new to video and bought the AF101 (uk). After reading around bought a couple of lenses to get started. But I read about these cinema lenses and got interested. Manageged to buy one from UK and via a C to MFT adapter fixed it on the cam. The image I get is like looking down a tunnel! What I can see is crystal clear. What do I to do to alter this and make it into a full frame picture. My knowledge of cameras is pretty basic and I learn by the day. The actual lens is a Canon TV Zoom J10x10. 10-100mm 1:2.3. Cheers.

Chances are you are going to need a tele-extender. You might be able to get away with a 1.4x, or you might need a 2x. With a 1.4x that's going to turn it into a 14-140 1:3.2
Paddy,
You unfortunately made a bad selection of a Canon broadcast lens. As Michael said, these 2/3" lenses need the extender option to work correctly. You may be able to find a stand-alone extender/doubler. But if it were me, wanting to experiment with lower cost cinema style lenses, I'd sell that lens and buy a different Canon 2/3" lens that has an 'I' in the lens type, which indicates it has the doubler built in.
Take a look at this link, where the lens codes are explained - http://blog.abelcine.com/2007/05/25/broadcast-lens-nomenclature-key/
The lens you have is slower than most ENG style lenses, doesn't have much of a zoom range, and it's wide side isn't so wide. There are an endless selection of modestly-priced ENG lenses that are faster, wider, and bigger zoom, with the extender built-in on ebay.
