Canon XL lens adapter?
Anyone know of such a thing?
At $2500, the Canon 3.4-20mm 6x XL lens (for the XLH1) looks pretty sweet. Any way to connect one of those to my GY HD100? Mike Tapas, are you listening? |

Not at all likely to happen; since the Canon XL lens series does not have a hand grip.

Don't the XL lenses (minus the 14/16x manual ones) also require power to work?
Yeah there's no way this would happen. |

ALL servo powered zoom lenses (the stock Fuji included) require power (supplied by the multipin connector cable) to run the zoom servo and iris servo.

Sorry, I guess I worded that and left out the details.
I meant that because the Canon XL lenses are totally servo controlled - so power needs to be there to zoom, focus, and change the iris - there is no way you can use them without power through the pins on the mount. |
