If they can do it for micro 4/3 why not F3?

The results are not great. We made a prototype of this very setup and found the issues with it outweighed bringing it to release. Instead we offer a Canon EF to PMW-F3 and it has been selling faster than we can make them. Currently there is a lead time of approx 14 days from placing an order. Sure, you have to use a Canon EOS to set aperture on the lens but it works just fine and is a small price to pay for using Canon glass.

Hope that helps.

i ususally hover around all apertures during a shoot to find the best exposure...
Imagine doing that with a canon camera next to the F3
i would have bought the adaptor if it was cheaper than that just for the sake of testing but not for a real shoot

PS: and the P+S technik adapter is a dumb (no aperture control) one i guess

Yes its the only way to do it. We have sold hundreds and hundreds of Canon EF adapters to the PMW-EX3, Micro 4/3 and now F3, and in a couple of weeks time the Canon EF to Sony E-mount. All need a Canon EOS to change aperture, but guess what, it works perfectly well even though it's an extra step to make compared to Nikon lenses. Once a shooter has got in the groove with it, an aperture can be changed in seconds and be back on the camcorder in no time ready to shoot.
 
I tried one of those things on an AF100 and it vignettes from the iris being in the wrong place. Steve knows what he's talking about. Don't waste your money on it.
