Just a quick demo and some footage shot on the AF-100 with the Kipon EOS to Micro Four Thirds adapter.

Until the Birger electronic mounts come out (taps foot impatiently) this is the only way we have to use Canon lenses with internal apertures like everyone's favorite L- series zooms and primes.

Surprisingly, the adapter does really well! There was no vignetting until I closed the iris down past a full stop. That means that if you need any less light, you should be able to compensate with the camera's built in ND filters. It also gave me a lot of control over the depth of field. More than stopping the lens down? It looks to be a about a tie to me.

I have too excellent experiences with the Kipon adapter. It does not fit 1000% tight however. Big lenses e.g. the Canon EF 24-100mm should be suported on the GH2 and AF100.
I am also using a Novoflex NIKON to CANON EOS adapter + Kipon for Nikon lenses. Works as a breeze and is better thant the Nikon adapters I have.
