m32 - m42 adaptor arrived today - and fitting it onto a m42- mircro4/3 adaptor the 50mm lens works for macro close up stuff ok - the 20mm and 12mm dont work Need to get them nearer the sensor - flange focal distance is wrong! So looks like some adaptor butchering will be needed!! Oh well worth a try !!

Andrew is it confirmed the sensor is made by British Aerospace / Fairchild??

Tecnoir have designed a rig for it, Black Magic have been very good and supplied drawings to us. Watch this space.....

Canon have a new 40mm pancake lens announced reciently... I was very excited until I read this review  :( [url=http://www.petapixel.com/2012/06/25/the-autofocus-noise-of-canons-new-40mm-pancake-lens/]http://www.petapixel.com/2012/06/25/the-autofocus-noise-of-canons-new-40mm-pancake-lens/[/url] seems like the motor is LOUD!!! and you can't turn it off I will be sticking with my Pentax 40mm pancake thank you!

I shot pop videos with 2 Bolex H16s all through the 90s the Bolex has a prism that acts as part of the lens and optically is very important If you use the lens on say a gh2 without the prism it does not look as sharp http://www.city-net.com/~fodder/bolex/truth.html have a read of this Andy Lee Tecnoir LTI Films

Hi Ivan Ive just bought one , thanks for the help with that - will keep you posted on how they work Andy

Hi Andrew, thanks for that , I just bought 2 GH2s this week for work to use them as the basis for film rigs, I bought your GH2 shooters guide book and it has been invaluable ! very very good and useful as Im completely new to GH2 after years on 5ds and 550S. If I had not read your book I dont think I would have switched to GH2s - but you have convinced me to switch over!! Ive only had the cameras for a day now and already I think they are going to be much better than the Canons. Im building a new anamorphic rig around them this is the Tecnoir rig I mentioned Andy

Hi everyone, I'm Andy Lee and new to this forum , I direct pop videos for TV and currently have a film in development. I also have a company making DSLR Cinema camera rigs - Tecnoir. I'm just switching over to GH2 as a new camera platform after reading about it on this site and Andrew's GH2 Guide about using it as a cimena camera. I've been using 5DMK2 and 550d's for the past 2 years everyday for work. I recently aquired a set of 3 KIEV 16U-mount Lenses - MIR-11M, TAIR-41M, VEGA-7-1 all great little Russian lenses and in mint condition. The question to you all is can I adapt these to use on my GH2? thanks Andy Lee Tecnoir
