  1. Hi
    I have bought a Panasonic GH2, and I have read about the "awesomeness" of the M42 vintage lens.
    I understand that the Panasonic standard lens kit of 14-42mm is an equivalent to a 28-84mm lens (35mm format), also I am aware that M43 sensor would apply a 2.0 crop factor to a 35mm film lens.
    So, my main issue is, I can't figure out the crop factor for Helios 44M f2.0 58mm lens (£20 on eBay), links to info:
    [url=http://t.hacquard.free.fr/site1/helios_44_en.html]http://t.hacquard.free.fr/site1/helios_44_en.html[/url]
    If this is a native 35mm film format lens, am I right applying a crop factor of 2.0 which means that this lens mounted on my camera would yield an effective focal length of 116mm in 35mm film format terms ?
    If the above is true, that means I can't get a fast M42 lens for a cheap price which would achieve an effective ~50mm (35 mm film) on my camera for video shooting purposes, example of lens would be: Mir 1 f2.8 37mm (£44 on eBay), wider lens are way too expensive for this experimental test !

    Many thanks for your advice.

  2. Hi There
    I am not sure if this is the right place to post this kind of topic. Admin, Please delete if in breach of rules.

    I need your help guys in choosing from the following options:
    1- amazon.co.uk ,NEW for £613
    2- http://www.eshopbrokers.co.uk/products/Digital-Cameras-Video/Digital-Cameras/Panasonic/Panasonic-Lumix-DMC-GH2K-Digital-camera-mirror?prodid=534119 ,NEW for £577

    I have been reading on this forum and dpreview and personal-view for quite some time and I have decided on this camera for the following reasons:

    Your help is mostly appreciated
