Can you use a broadcast lens on a modern cinema camera? Today, I’m testing Canon B4 lenses (KJ and CJ series) on the Canon C400 to see if they are a viable option for cinematic work.

While B4 lenses are the standard for news and live sports, adapting them to a Super 35 or Full Frame sensor comes with some challenges. I’ll walk you through the mounting options (PL vs EF), why lens support is critical, and the resolution limitations you need to know about before buying.

If you are looking for that specific "broadcast look," parfocal zooms, or just crazy range on your C400, this guide is for you.
