For full samples by Seb Farges taken on the GH2 click here The Pentax 6mm F1.2 c-mount lens is the cheapest fast wide lens for DSLR filmmaking currently available. To use it you will need to have a Panasonic GH2, and to enable 1080p Ex-Tele mode (commonly known as 1:1 crop mode). It gives a feel similar to 8mm or 16mm film on the GH2.

I recently picked up a Carl Zeiss 50mm F1.4, not the newer one but an older Rollei mount similar to the Contax Zeiss version. The HFT coating was what Zeiss called T* coating on the Rollei lenses. It was designed to go on a Rolleiflex SL35 35mm film camera.
UPDATE – Added movie mode still frame grab at 1080p from GH2 and GF2 with same 14mm F2.5 pancake lens. GH2 is better, and it’s sensor is slightly larger too. View full resolution on Flickr here. The GF2 is for people stepping up from compact cameras, and is itself almost as small as the LX5. It’s 14mm F2.5 pancake kit lens is superb, but for those looking for a wide-zoom…
If you’d only go on eBay’s prices you’d assume the Iscorama anamorphic lenses had God-like properties. Maybe they’d part water with their patented easy focus mechanism. Could they heal a leaper with their flare? Possibly the hallowed Iscorama is able to bless you with a cinematic image.
I was guest of ReWo today at MBF, a rental shop in Berlin. They originally planned to do a head to head with a RED and Sony F3 but since these cameras were stuck in Frankfurt we instead had a play with the GH2 versus AF100.
Full specification and price here DSLR cinematography styles vary a lot, since the cameras are so adaptable. At the core of all this flexibility is the rigging.
German website Slashcam recently tested the GH2 and AF100, and shot something which I never do – a test chart – with surprising results.
