Some of my favorite glass is two Vivitar Series one zooms though- from the first batch, that where still made by Kino Precession. They are a PITA to work with, since they are pumpgun style zooms, so it takes a real man to handle them, but the image they give is awesome.

Frank, I have a pump style Nikon Nikkor 80-200 that is probably similar in function to the Vivitars you speak of. I actually used it in the shoot I spoke of above, though I didn't actually zoom during recording.

Just received my first MFT version of the BMC today, can't wait till the MFT-PL mount adapter shows up to finally mount the Zeiss Superspeeds and other cineglasss.

Compared to my EF mount BMC, my new MFT BMC opens up a whole new world of glass.

<green with envy> Let us know how it goes !
