First, is the Fuji ENG lens a B4 mount, and does it have the 12-pin cable (needed to,power the lens)?
Also, the newer HD B4 lenses work better, but some older SD lenses are OK, on a lens-by-lens basis.
To use the B4 lens on a BM Studio camera, you are not going to have CCU control over the lens, unless you get a special data adapter, and while you can power the lens zoom servo with the Hirose 8-pin to DTap adapter cable, you will need the 8-pin pin remote cable and controller to have remote zoom control on the tripod handle. Otherwise, the camera personmis going to have to reach around the Studio camera to get to the lens zoom rocker switch (kind of akward to do with the Studio camera and its large monitor).
OK, finally, you will need an optically corrected B4 to MFT mount designed to work with the S16 size sensor in the Studio camera, to getmfull lens coverage of the sensor, and to correct the Cam caused by using a 3-CCD lens on a single sensor camera. Their are only two adapters that will do this job correctly, one from MTF Services in UK (available from B&H last time I looked), and the other from Abel Cine. Both adapters run about $1200 to $1600. Also you are going to need to support the lens weight, and a 15mm rail setup on the camera is also needed to provide the support to the B4 adapter and lens.
So you are looking at a $2500 minimum to use this lens.
