Hey guys i have recently come into a FUJINON A15X8BEVM-28B B4 lens with 2x extender that i will be putting on my AF100. The lens has a Sony 2/3″ Bayonet Mount (is that relavent ?? or it B4 the same for all canon/fujinon lenses). Now i had a couple of questions wich i couldnt find the answer to searching. Has anyone been able to get the zoom servo to work with external batteries ?? i know Abel Cine Tech makes a custom cable to power the ENG lens zoom servo off the battery plate as well as connect to the camera for record/stop control. But i cant find a price for this online or if i can purchase it serperatly. The other question i had was support, do people hold the lens buy the servo hand grip ? will that rip the mount of when shooting ? i think it should be ok but thought i would ask. The lens is a 8mm to 120 mm with the 2x ectender in the lens it becomes a 16mm to 240mm is that were it stays on the af100 ?? or on the af100 does it become 32mm to 480mm ? i'm also reading that people are having to stop down to f4 as the image is too soft wide open. I still need to get a B4 to m4/3 adaptor but the only ones i can find are US$450-500.. wich seems a bit expensive... i messaged ciecio7 to buy one of his adaptors but have not received a reply yet are there any cheeper ones avaliable rather than the US$450-500 i have seen online. sorry for all the Q's but i wanted to get them all out now than keep asking.

regards Marty.
