Hi Guys,
 
I'm shooting with russian primes (helios 58mm, mir24n 35mm, tair 85 etc) I'm looking for something
wider than 35mm that will stay consistent with this aesthetic.
 
My gh2 will vignette using the isco at any wider than 25mm, so that is around what i'm looking for.
 
Any suggestions? I'm current looking at the MIR10a (28mm), downsides are its star bokeh looks 
a bit odd and its f3.5.
 
Thanks!
 
 
 
 

So updating everyone here as I said I would.  Got my lens back from vandiemen, and she's a beauty!!  And I have to say, as much criticism as VD has got on their turn-around time, they not only did a great job on the build but also did exactly in the time frame they promised me.  Couldn't recommend this upgrade enough for any Isco 36 or pre 36 owners.  Takes a great lens and makes it the BEST!
 
 

Just because I don't feel the need to post 1000 word jerk off doesn't make the content any less valid mate.

And I'm not really too late to the party, I already own a 36 so I'm not planning on buying a toy version any time soon :)

It's not really a rebuttal when you are just desperately trying to disparage anyone who differs. we've heard your opinion over and over. Your'e kinda just douching out the thread after every other post at this point.
 
SLR magic are gonna have to trawl through a page of your ranting for every page of public opinion on what people want from their product.

Not sure what, or with whom you are trying to argue at this point. We get it, your'e very interested in this 1.3x adapter, some of us are not and we are entitled to our opinion. 
 
There is no need to desperately defend some product you've never used, it's okay for people to differ in their preferences. Enjoy the product when it comes out!

Hopefully once the move to streaming has shaken out, some alternative models for marketing lower budget films will come about.

very cool. Did you stabilize in post? looks not too shaky for handheld!

Thanks Tony, but I believe chuck would approve of blood red. Tis the colour of justice.
 

I ended up going for a GH2, with a kowa B&H anamorphic and helios 42, jupiter 9 and MIR24 lenses.
 
Should be a decent looking filmmaking kit and didn't cost an arm and a leg.

Thanks for all the advice, it really helped.

Thanks for all the info guys, you have convinced me to give the GH2 a try based on this. I'll use the saved cash
to get some extra gear!
