Hi I've just subscribed to your channel, i find your content very enlightening. I'm a new bee 🐝 in B4 lense world, would you recommend reliable HD B4 lense retailers or suppliers.

Hi and thanks for the sub 😊🤙
I don't have much experience in buying equipment brand new to be honest. All the equipment I use is 2nd hand and quite old. Brand new B4 lenses typically cost $5k-$40k (and even higher), which is out of my budget for my personally owned professional kit.
There are not really any well known retailers for B4 lenses in Australia 🌏🦘 (where I live) either. So most of my 2nd hand lenses are from owner operators or are ex-rental house lenses from FB market place or eBay.
If you need brand new lenses B&H has all the current generation models of B4 lenses from Canon and Fujinon. Hope that helps 😊✌️

I have a B4 lens like this that I found, I also bought an adapter for my EF Camera, but I’m not sure why it won’t connect. The little screw gets in the way lol

It is probably a 1/2" camera lens rather than a 2/3" B4 lens. They look very very similar but are not the same mount size, and also not the same flange depth for being able to focus.
1/2" lenses have a larger locating pin on the mount that won't fit in a standard B4 mount.
