View Full Version : GH4 and Canon FD Lenses? Andy Harding September 6th, 2015, 05:14 AM Hi all just wondering if anyone is using this combination and with what lenses and do they recommend it? Any info would be appreciated Kind regards Andy Patrick Janka September 6th, 2015, 05:12 PM I have a 50mm f/1.4 FDn. It's nice for a film look, but it's nowhere near as sharp as the newer m4/3 lenses. Mark Williams September 6th, 2015, 05:24 PM That is also my experience. Unless you are going for the softer look I would stick with Panasonic or Olympus m4/3 lenses. I noticed a unpleasing color shift in my experiments with FD lenses on the GH4. Patrick Janka September 6th, 2015, 05:39 PM Voitlander and Rokinon are great native options, too. Paul Mailath September 7th, 2015, 04:44 AM I have a range of FD prime lenses and love the look. I've used them on the GH2 & GH4 and they are my 1st choice unless I need a zoom lens. Andy Harding September 7th, 2015, 10:26 AM Cheers gents for the info, I've been after a fast short lens (on a very tight budget) for filming my mates band gig, For the sake of £100.00 for a couple of FD lenses plus the converter of course though it might be worth a punt :-) Patrick the 50 mm 1.4 was one of the lenses I was looking at :-) Patrick Janka September 7th, 2015, 10:55 AM For your purposes I'm sure it'll work fine. |
