I've been hanging out here for a while and this site led me to getting a GH2 last year. I bought a few fd lenses which work quite nicely. I haven't hacked the cam yet but am looking for recommendations on which one I should use for a horror/thriller type film. Also the type of settings that allow for the best flexibility to grade in post.

 

Let me know what you think of what I shot for a teaser for a feature I am going to make.

Thanks in advance.

What lens was used for this footage?

I'd like to know a good adapter too. I have gh2 and have some canon glass but would like to use some of my DX lenses. Wouldn't I have to set the fstop on the nikon first and then put it on the gh2?

@piz what patch are you using?

I am interested in trying Driftwood's patch. Where can I get it?

Is it possible I need to do something with the mount? I'm guessing that it is the wrong distance from the sensor. Does that sound right? Solutions?

That looks nice. Thanks for your input.

I am shooting a film mostly outdoors and at least half of it at night. Any suggestions for the best hack for low light situations? I've some pretty fast glass.

Hi,

I bought a couple c mount lenses a while back and really haven't had a chance to try them out until now. One is a pentax 6mm 1.2 and I cannot seem to get it to focus. I had to unscrew the tiny screws on the side to allow movement of the focus and aperture rings to use them. Similar to this: http://www.avsupply.com/Pentax-Cosmicar/c22525kp-b2514d-kp.php

The other is a computar tv lens 25mm 1.3 and the blades are not open as there are wires off to the side which makes me think I purchased the wrong lens. Perhaps there's something I can do to open it up.

Any and all advice is appreciated.
