Hi guys,
First post here so hello everyone, big fan of Andrews twitter feed, I also run the gallery website http://bmcc.tv
Super late for the party, but I guess better late than never! I was inspired by you guys to get in the hunt for S16 lenses for the bmpc. It's really is tough since you start loosing perspective in terms of prices. Some of the lenses you are not even sure they work, and you see yourself willing to spend £100-150 pounds on them! Great time to be a vintage lens dealer that's for sure!
Anyways, after lurking for days for the switar 10mm I put an order, but then changed my mind and got switar 16mm 1.8 for a quarter of the price. I also found this website which seems quite useful, since it mentions the bmpc

There I found a photo of a GH1 with the lens, it's somewhere on that first page:

I overlayed the crop you guys have here and it seems safe:

I didnt take the photos, but I am pretty sure this is correct? what do you guys think?
Best,
