Composing my ultimate GH3 to go set. Bought the camera, decided on my audio set and now I'm looking for a cheap but good viewfinder for the GH3 (and then the rig and follow focus will follow).   I saw a lot already on the web but has somebody experiences with a good and cheap vieuw finder for the GH3?   Thanxs a lot!

  Just search for EOS M43 and you'll find plenty adapters. Like this:   http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canon-EOS-EF-EF-S-to-Micro-4-3-M4-3-M43-Mount-Adapter-EP3-GF3-GX1-EP3-OM-D-EFM43-/330821484699?pt=US_Lens_Adapters_Mounts_Tubes&hash=item4d067f409b

Simply put, I'm interested in the lighting and exposure practices of those using digital video cameras, specifically the use of seperate dedicated light metering.   If you could take a moment to answer my poll I'd be very grateful, I'm interested to see how those of differing age, generation, experience and practice work with metering, or if indeed they do at all.   I know some who swear by it, some who would never use it and some who change depending on shot and situation, so I'm interested to see the spread of opinion with the user base here on EOSHD   Many thanks,   JG

Try an aperture-less one I'd say... This adpator is for lenses with auto apertures, like Tokina 11-16 for example. Perhaps the widest aperture in the adapter is tighter than 1.5 at 35mm and causing issues? Or perhaps something to do with how the light is bouncing around in there...

Can you post some footage? If you don't have a problem with your 7D the suspect is the adapter. Try a cheap dumb adapter.

thanks for the test Andrew.  A true comparison between real full frame and aps-c was what we all needed.  I am amazed at how much the images look alike.  If anything I thought the branches on the trees in the first shot were sharper on the nex7!  and nex7 was iso1600 vs iso 3200 for 5d!  WOW!     Assuming the shot of the olympus camera was at f2.8 on the 5d and f2.0 on the nex7, if you set the lens to f4 on the nex 7 it will be effectively as bright as the 5d set to f2.8.   so at the same brightness, with the cameras set at the same iso, shutter, but with the nex's lens set to f4 and the 5d's lens set to f2.8(assuming the lens had a manual aperture ring), the depth of field will be less shallow on the nex7?
