The Ultimate GH2 Lens
A friend of mine shoots performance events. He has used Sony and JVC ENG cameras for this. But his favorite camera now is a GH2 equipped with adapters that allow him to use some of his 'big-bucks' lenses. He like the GH2 sensor size as well as the 1920 x 1080 crop mode because he can use these lenses without vignetting. He can also use a doubler on his lenses and shoot the GH2 in the normal mode. Here is one of his setups.

Re: The Ultimate GH2 Lens
Wonder what the mm is for that lens? It is huge!

Re: The Ultimate GH2 Lens
That looks like a lens from the JVC HD cameras. What adapter is being used?

Re: The Ultimate GH2 Lens
I don't think that's the jvc hd100 lens. I can't see how a1/3" senson lens could work. Also power cable isin wrong position.

Re: The Ultimate GH2 Lens
The lens is an expensive Fujinon video lens that is generally used on ENG cameras. I don't know the specifics of the adapter other than he bought it from someone in Poland.

Re: The Ultimate GH2 Lens
It's a 2/3th inch video lens, with the extender on so it fills the 4/3 frame..
It's one of the reasons I wish I bought a GH1/GH2 instead of 550D :) |

Re: The Ultimate GH2 Lens
Crop mode makes sense - OTOH, the doubler on lots of those lenses seems to soften and 'smear' the image some unless you get the really high-end $20,000 plus lenses. But it does take care of a lot of issues that still camera lenses bring up for us video guys.
