Alan, which mount do you have on your lens?

Alan, with that lens, I think your best option is a smart MFT-EF adapter as you want to retain the electronic controls available for the lens. Metabones makes a smart adapter that should work very well. But always check the Metabones site to see if the lens has been identified and works well on their adapter.

Thanks very much, Rick. Metabones does look like the best option.

I've also got a problem with this lens. I've got the Viltrox MFT-EF Adapter (the M1 version without speedboosting) for my Pocket 4k and I am not able to use autofocus or the stabilization on the lens (both activated). I updated camera and adapter, but the problem remains. Setting the aperture works perfectly, though. Is there something I can do or is this combination just not working?
