Hi there,
I m just about to buy new gh2 camera body only (I actually decided to buy it after being the frequent visitor on this site. Andrew's appreciation for this camera really infected me) :)
I will be using GH2 for dramatic film shoots. Mainly for an upcoming feature and short films, and if a deal goes through for the webisodes that I m trying to create.
I do not have any glass at the moment so I have to build from the scratch. I prefer primes and I need them pretty fast. Another thing, eventually I m planning to buy Canon 5d mark 3 (whenever it comes out), or even the Canon 4k dslr (if it ever comes out), so I m interested if I could start investing now on the full frame glass, and if I could use them on the GH2, and what is the best deal for the money?
I've heard that best thing to do is buy old Nikon's with manual aperture ring. They are awesome lenses and pretty low priced too. Now I m not sure if that's true, so please I would be happy if I get any suggestions. Also if this is possible what is the best adapter to buy?
Now I do not have some supper amazing budget, but I'll try to invest as much as I can on the glass, but as I mentioned priority is to be able to use them on the GH2 and on the full frame camera too.
(if this is not possible, what is my best plan B for the good fast primes for GH2?)
Thanks a lot for your help guys, it is very much appreciated.
Cheers!
