But I tend to be a Nikon lens person. I am assuming you already have Canon lenses.

I misspoke...the adaptor I have for my Nikon lens will only allow me to change the shutter speed and ISO but not the f-stop on the GH2

Shutter speed and ISO are in camera changes not the lens, am I right? so you should be able to control those what ever lens/adapter you have...

Yes shutter speed and iso are strictly camera functions. You don't even need a lens attached to change them.
