Couldn't resist purchasing camera with the £200 cash back from Panasonic.

Its just arrived but need some ideas what adapters there are? I've seem some really basic ones that mount the lens on and there's no way to change the aperture.

I've watched a couple of videos about the Speedbooster but thats pretty expensive and heard about the magnification it can handle compared to other adapters and to change the aperture on the mount!

Any suggestions what adapter I would look into?

Thanks.
 
loads metabones the most expensive some are passives some are focal reducers ,kipon is also another make that works well with canon lenses ,if i wanted to adapt my lens for telephoto maybe would not bother with a focal reducer(speed booster) ,although the extra stop of light is always usefull and it does not show in your cameras viewfinder if it goes below f1.2 what ever a stop of light is less than 1.2 because native m43 lenses do not go below f1.2 .
some meta bones are 0.7 crop others are 0.64 they have a list of compatible lenses ,the video guys like the 0.64 so they can get a wide angle view on a already wide angle lenses with the gain in light ,remember 4k is 2.2 crop so quite hard to get wide angle

metabones claim? improved sharpness using ff lens on m43 due to not wasting light i assume as opposed to wasted light not covering the sensor without a focal reducer (speedbooster)

If i had canon or nikon lenses i would buy one for sure
