I just got my first lens and adapter for my GH2 (got a canon FD 50mm f1.8 pretty cheap).
I just shot a test with it and then shot with my kit lens as comparison. A couple of things I've noticed:
For some reason, even with a much lower aperture, the canon is darker, why is this? Adapter?
The canon shoots much wider (a close up on a face will take up nearly the entire frame, where as on the Lumix, it is much more narrow, which is neither good nor bad, just different.
And the canon is much smoother, which I expected as the Pannys have a reputation for their sharpness.
Basically, with the lens/adapter being 100% manual and non-electric, I am kind of at a loss as to how to go about my settings now. I think I like the lens, but I just need to know how to better apply it.
Any feedback would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
