There is a discussion on B4 lenses on the Live Production forum, since the UB is in that category of cameras. My favorite for B4 is the Angenieux B4 HR zooms, I have the 8.5-160 HR zoom.
That said, I also have the PL mount for the UB, and like the 11-16 Duclos Tokina mod zoom, and my Angenieux 17.5-70 Zoom, both of which cover the Broadcast’s cameras sensor. Another favorite is the Canon S16 PL zoom. Fjuion also made a nice B4 Cine type Zoom (no servos) with a HD resolving power, that Rick L. uses on his UM 4.6 PL in 2K window (about same size area as the UB sensor).
Once you switch out the 1-stop light sucking B4 Mount for the PL mount, yiu have a S16 Cine csmera, with a lovely IQ that fits the format nicely. I use the B4 Mount and Angie zoom for live event coverage, but witch backmto the PL Cine for my personal projects and promo shots.
That said, you can also add a Canon EF mount to use some of the better Canon lenses.
