What lens to use for the combination of GH2+SPEEDBOOSTER+LA7200?

[Chin Yew]

hello everyone, i just bought myself the Panasonic LA7200. and i'm shooting on a GH2 with the speedbooster adapter.

i'm considering of buying these canon FD lens but afraid it might not work; Canon FD 17mm f1.4 and 85mm f1.8

can anyone with experience of these combination share some advise?

thanks.

that 17mm may be too wide. Ive got a Canon FD 50mm f1.4 that works well with my anamorphic lens. I dont know much about the LA7200 though but I have always thought you shouldn't use anything wider than a 35mm for the taking lens

Do you have a metabones speedbooster or one of those others brands sold on ebay? Ive been trying to figure out if those cheaper ones are worth buying

Hi all, BTW, does any one have try LA7200 on full frame? What prime lens is suitable for it?

I used the Tokina 17mm fd with LA7200 and GH2. I think that was ok (if I remember right) But with Speedbooster... maybe not a good idea: Will vignette and you have to stop down anyway (at least 5.6) or image is very soft. Otherwise FDs are very good with anamorphics.

Canon 5D with 50/1.4 may be ok.
