PatrickV Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi there, I'm currently only filming with my GH2, but i would like to film my interviews with two camera's. The second camera will be my Canon 550D. Now i'm looking for a lens which gives me a nice DoF and is suitable for my GH2 and my 550D. My budget for this lens is around $150. Is the Canon FD f/1.4 50mm the lens an option? Which adapter do i need to make it fit with my GH2 and my 55D? My knowledge on this area is quite limited, so some questions might be foolish :) Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 adaptors are all avaialable on ebay a good lens for both cameras is Carl Zeiss Flektogon 35mm f2.4 it is a good focal length for the 550 x 1.6 apsc crop and GH2 x1.86 crop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickV Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi Andy, Thanks for your response. But the Carl Zeiss is too expensive. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Carl Zeiss 28mm F2.8 is cheaper try that in m42 mount then get 2 m42 screw mount adaptors one for canon mount one for micro 4/3 mount Bingo! or try this nice cosinon lens cheap http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M42-SCREW-FIT-COSINA-COSINON-35MM-F2-8-AUTO-MC-WIDE-ANGLE-LENS-FILM-DIGITAL-/251226075748?pt=UK_Lenses_Filters_Lenses&hash=item3a7e3db264 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBarlow Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Zeiss Flektogon 2.8/35mm is a great choice and focusses down to .18m I recommend this fully serviced one http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-CLASSIC-CARL-ZEISS-JENA-FLEKTOGON-2-8-35mm-1Q-/130902773057?pt=UK_Lenses_Filters_Lenses&hash=item1e7a69cd41 Its also Exakta mount so you can do Aperture pulls using a shutter cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
