john_shriver Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 <p>Presuming that I correctly identified that Canon VCL-713BX as a B4 mount lens, yes there are adapters to Canon EF mount, and possibly to FD. Also to Sony NEX, micro-4/3, Nikon 1, and Pentax Q. Look on eBay.<br> But that lens appears to be designed for a 1/2" diagonal sensor, you'll get severe vignetting on anything full-frame, even some vignetting on micro-4/3. (Most B4 lenses are for 2/3" diagonal sensors.) Really best suited to tiny-sensor cameras like Nikon 1 and Pentax Q.<br> Also, it was a standard-definition video lens. Those only had to be sharp enough for 525 vertical lines on the sensor, it might well be rather "soft" on any modern sensor, especially wide-open.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
