^good points. Ahh, I'm so stuck on whether to get a Nikoke 18-55mm or a Sigma 70-300mm. The 18 seems more practical for my uses, but the 70 sounds like more fun in general At least I can say I've settled on my prime Also, I seem to have settled on: FOTODIOX NIKON LENS M-4/3 MOUNT ADAPTER

I am in no way qualified to give you a definitive answer, but in my own recent research related to hacking the GH2, the chances of bricking the machine are nil if you follow the directions properly. Apparently Magic Lantern is run from the SD card, accessing the RAM, which should mean it loses...

So just to clarify, if I have this setup... Lens with Aperture Ring -> Adapter -> GH2 ...I will be able to manually control the Aperture Ring still, even though there's an adapter between the two? Thanks for the heads up - I was leaning towards the 35mm but it looks like the 50mm is now the...

Hey all, if you read my last thread you'd see I settled upon the GH2. Yay me! Anyways I am now deciding between some lenses and I have basically come down to this - one of the three zooms, and one of the two primes below. My questions to you are: what lens adapter best works with these lenses...

Okay, I believe I'm going to go with the GH2. Now I need a little lens advice. In my research, assuming the first lens I should get is a prime, I've narrowed my selections down to these (more selection advice is welcome): Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM Lens Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens Nikon...

Wow the crop factor really does make a difference doesn't it. I'm reading up to 2x. Or 1.8 rather. Interesting

I believe I'm going to go with the GH2 now...the reviews and recommendations are stacked too high not to, at this point. now, for a good 50mm Prime lens....do people recommend Nikon over Canon? Does anybody have specific recommendations? Or perhaps recommendations against a 50mm prime being my...

noob question: I looked at pictures of the Panasonic Lumix Vario 14-140mm f/4.0-5.8 Lens that comes with one of the GH2 packages. I realise now the f-stops are really limited? Why would it be wise to start with this lens over a 50mm Prime with more f-stop range? Also...again, not too sure...

If I go the GH2 route: A standard lens that comes in a package is: "Panasonic Lumix Vario 14-140mm f/4.0-5.8 Lens" Would you guys recommend I go for that package? Or merely buy the body, an adapter, and a 50mm prime? After all is said and done, I'd probably save $200 to just get the Prime and...

I've taken your advice about contemplating the decision outside of technical specs. Technical specs are where the GH2 route wins in my opinion. And I'm in a Film Production class so operating a camera more complicated than the HFG10 is not a curse in any way. But when I look at footage from the...

Why do you often wish you had gone with the GH2 over the T3i, might I ask?

So in your view, if DOF becomes less of a factor, the HFG10 wins out because it would be easier to use the settings? I'm pretty interested in learning the ins-and-outs of every piece of equipment I buy, so no matter what camera I get I'm going to become extremely familiar with the adjustable...

Hey all, I recently decided that I was going to purchase the Canon HFG10 camcorder to start shooting short films. I was actually a day away from making the purchase before deciding to do another night of research on the purchase. It then came to my attention that shooting on a DSLR could be...
