#gh5 #gh6 #microfourthirds In this video I show you how to mount a GH camera to a vintage Fujinon B4 Lens.
*Important The lens has to be a B4 Lens made for a 2/3 sensor camera with a 2x extender switch.
Just do a google or eBay search for either Fujinon or Cannon B4 Lens whatever brand you prefer. There are other brands so choose wisely and from a reputable seller.
Good luck and I’m happy to help if you hit a wall or have any questions. Couldn’t find the follow focus I bought. You’ll just need to find one and make it work. I would recommend a lens that has internal focus btw the whole front element rotates when I use mine. Just fyi for matte boxes, ND’s and filters etc. I had to build a base for the focus teeth on the lens out of a strip of velcro with a bunched up hair Ty underneath which made it super tight and stable. Again it’s custom so do what works for you and your specific lens you happen to get.
*Listed below are all the accessories it took and the links to get them as best as I could. The cheapest and best servo zoom par focal option I know of. With a GH6 could be one of the best wildlife videography set ups with the 4k 120p. I'd like to see it in action! ‪@cameraconspiracies‬

Again, very cool rig!

Thank you, I got a few requests to show the build. It's really a fantastic super zoom option. Probably the cheapest and most functional out. thanks for watching and subscribing!

Quick tip: If you get a round ring around your image, you could use the tele-converter option built in to all MFT Lumix cameras. This will get rid of the vignette by digitally cropping in. That means you won't need an expensive adapter or a $2,000 lens with a doubler.

@scott.skates Год назад

Yeah the option using the speed booster you have to use the tele-converter mode. I found it to be problematic no stabilization and kinda wonky in use. It works I used it on the surf video I made but you gotta be super careful. Truth be told I spent $300 on eBay for the lens I used with the 2x extender I’m not sure about the $2,000 lens you speak of that would have been out of budget for sure. 🤷🏽‍♂️🎯

@skullerboy Год назад

@@scott.skates I guess I was thinking of a new lens, which would be around $2,000. I was able to use the in-body stabilization on my Lumix G95 without any issue. I'm not sure what the advantages are of using a speed booster vs just a b4 to MFT adapter but I use Fotodiox adapter to connect my Fuginon lens. It doesn't have a doubler so either I record in 4K and crop in post, or I use the tele-converter.

@@skullerboy damn that’s expensive! Grateful for all the alternatives and so many ways to get the end result. Keep crushin! 🎥❤️

@dwaynepiper3261 9 месяцев назад

@@skullerboy I think the advantage of speed booster is optical magnification prior to the sensor does not magnify sensor noise. On the other hand, it causes some light loss which may require more gain and noise. Might be a better option in good lighting but not in challenging lighting.

@MuhammadFloyd 10 месяцев назад

I’m not sure about the other cameras but you can also just use the 2x zoom in option on the GH5s so you don’t have to use the extender

@scott.skates 6 месяцев назад

Right, confirmed on the gh5s. 2x extender is optical not digital, always better for optical over digital all day each and everyday! ❤️🎯

@wildbillybitcoin Год назад

i have a canon b4 lens with the extender as well. do you think the b4 to ef + speedbooster is the way to mount or should i just get a b4 to micro 4/3? thanks for the videos

@scott.skates Год назад

I would just do the b4 to mtf to begin with. The speed booster is a little problematic. No stabilization gotta use tele converter mode, etc. thank you, like and subscribe for more recipes! 😉

@alexandermedina9886 Год назад

I have a question. Will the pixel to pixel mode from my gh6 work for any b4 lens? Or will it still have the hard vignette? Because I was thinking of purchasing a b4 lens, but it does not have 2x converter switch.

@scott.skates Год назад

Yeah you’ll need the 2x extender.

@unbroken1010 Месяц назад

Strange question, can you use them for still photos without the power zoom part and adjust focus and aperture manually? Maybe you can explain if it's possible to me a little more? Much appreciated

@scott.skates Месяц назад

Yes you sure can it’s a passive manual lens without the battery pack.

@lamodification 7 дней назад

I also bought a b4 Fujinon zoom. How do you adjust the macro at the mount to have the zoom lens stay parfocal? When I zoom in the focus changes somehow 😢

@scott.skates 7 дней назад

You’ll need to adjust your “back focus” search that term on a b4 lens. Too much to go into in a comment. Good luck

@wolfgangh.7027 Год назад

Hi, I did almost the same some years ago with my Olympus E-PL3. I got the lens quite cheaply at Ebay, as other photograpic stuff. I use the Fujinon lens 1.7/9.5 - 152mm. The cheapest way to adapt the lens was a B4 converter to EOS. Then I added a Vivitar 2x converter for EOS. Finally there is the EOS to mft converter. My lens has no built-in converter. This setup is very heavy. Less weight would be possibly using a mft 2x converter instead. it only costs far more than I payd. The zoom function is opeerated manually with my lens. Only, I have difficulties in focussing the image in the camera. There is the macro ring, and a ring just next to themacro ring that can bi fixed by an fixing screw. I could never find an adjustment where the distance ring is the only adjustment for focussing. So, in my case the lens is NOT parfocal! Nice to see that others had the same idea to adapt old lenses to modern cameras.

@scott.skates Год назад

Yeah many different options for the result. For back focus all you do is zoom all the way in on your subject. Manual focus as close as you can get it then adjust the macro ring until it’s tack sharp f8-f11 suggested. Then zoom all the way out and repeat the steps mentioned above. This will render the parfocal effect. I highly recommend the thumbcontroller and battery pack power. It’s a game changer! Thanks for watching, subscribe for more recipes!🤌✨

@wolfgangh.7027 Год назад

@@scott.skates Thanks!😀 Unfortunately I received the lens without thumbcontroller. ..

@lamodification 7 дней назад

@@scott.skatesthere are two rings to adjust the macro. How do you handle them both accordingly?

@jesse5905 4 месяца назад

Hey there, I’ve just bought one of these old B4 lenses. Does using the Viltrox or the B4 to MFT adapters cause the lens to not be par-focal? I’ve read other people mentioning that you need the thinnest adapter possible to keep it par-focal. What’s your experience?

@scott.skates 4 месяца назад

Nah I’ve never had any problems. Welcome to the club!🎥🔭🤌✨

@raffaeleveneri2139 5 месяцев назад

Hi! Do you know if is possible to use a Canon 1/2" lens (from an old Panasonic AG-DVC200) with a GH5II? I am not sure if the B4-M4/3 adapter could fit on this lens too....

@scott.skates 5 месяцев назад

Yeah I’m not sure but it’s definitely worth looking into more in depth since I believe the b4 mount is standard which means in theory the adapter should work and you could use teleconverter mode to crop in camera with gh cameras. Please let me know if you find anything out.🤔

Is there any way to adapt a Sony camera APSC to one of these lenses, MTF is very expensive

@scott.skates Год назад

I’ve never done it but where there’s a will there’s a way. The biggest problem could be vignetting and finding a proper emount to b4 adapter. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

@Emiliano-Oseguera Год назад

@@scott.skates yeah... Actually I did a research yesterday and I think there's a way to do it, the kit I would use is: - B4 to micro 4/3 adapter - OLYMPUS M.Zuiko Digital MC-20, 2X Teleconverter - HPLHS adapter ring M4/3-NEX mount to e mount
