GH4 Lens Help

Recommended Posts

I am working on a side project and looking to pick up a GH4 to get 4k recording. I am out of touch with the compact video cameras and in need of some lens recommendations.

Need to do 2 things. Lots of green screen head shots and some basic self defense demonstrations shot in a workout area. The 4k is perfect for the demonstrations because the final outputs are 1080p so I can crop to close-ups without do multiple takes.

Don't need auto-focus so I am open to anything. For the green screen stuff a fixed focal would be fine and I don't need a fast lens. Did check the back posts but not sure.

Thanks in advance.

There will be as many answers as there are forum members, but if you're on a budget, the Samyang 12mm f/2 is a low-priced wide angle if you can get in close enough to the action. The Panasonic 42.5mm f/1.7 is an excellent focal length for portraiture, and is priced under $400 new. Another option for head and shoulder shots might be the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN, which sells for a fraction over $300.
