midloch Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hi all, I own Panasonic G6 with a brand new Panasonic14-140mm f 3,5-5,6 and Panasonic 25mm f 1,4 which is really great lens. All I use for documentary movies only. As I need to cover wide angle I am not 100% sure about a quality of Panasonic 14-140mm at f 3,5 at 14mm and also I am not sure about prime lens Panasonic 14mm f 2,5 to be noticeably better than the new Panasonic 14-140mm at it´s 14mm at f 3,5... Pls, are there some good prime lenses around at 12 or 14mm or does it make sense to buy Panasonic 14mm f 2,5? Thanx a lot!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 the Panny 14mm f2.5 is a superb lens with aspheric elements and is very very sharp if you want a cheaper alternative -try this - I do also use the Pentax 110 systems 18mm f2.8 with an adaptor this tiny lens is great and cheap on ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy lee Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 the Pentax 18mm is light and superb for run and gun shooting as everything from about 5 feet is in focus so you can run around on a hand held rig and not have focus issues - it is very useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Garnier Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Thanks for the Pentax 110 tip Andy, just ordered one for my G6 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Mols Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 You can also try the Rokinon 14mm 2.8 with speedbooster. Then you'll have a equivalent of approx 10mm at F2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 these Pentax lenses fully cover a micro 4/3 sensor with no vignetting the 18mm is a superb little lens 24mm is a bit soft on the edges sharp in the middle but I do like this as it has a cool look to it and 24mm on a GH2/G6 is a useful 'standard' lens 50mm is very sharp 70mm is very sharp and has a superb looking bokeh drop off to it all these are f2.8 lenses ,no apperture ,and if you want to stop down you need to bluetack a plastic washer onto the back element I have 2 sizes that give me approx f5.6 and f11 ish f5.6 is ok outside in cloud f11 ok outside in sun and with no washer fully open at f2.8 is great on set with lights I just light the set for f2.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midloch Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 Hi all, I made a very very short clip on G6 (it is pre a production of my new film) and mostly used Canon FD lenses + Panasonic 25mm f 1,4. I think that FD looks good: http://vimeo.com/80628935 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
