I was wondering if any of you has tried this lens for GH2 filming, in case there is an adapter for it (whether it's on Fujifilm X mount or Samsung NX; I haven't found adapters for any of the two yet). Perhaps I'm doing poor searches, but has anyone come up with good results for mounting it on a GH2 already? Best regards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 There is a Samyang (same manufacturer) 7,5mm with mft mount! http://www.photozone.de/olympus--four-thirds-lens-tests/714-samyang7535 Ernesto Mantaras 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Mantaras Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Yeah, I know about that one. But this 8mm is f/2.8, one stop (or 3/4? or 2/3?) faster than the 7,5mm, that's why I was interested in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Ah I see the point. It's 2/3 fstop indeed. Fuji X to M43 is impossible, because the flange distance from the Fuji X mount is shorter than M43. Samsung NX is 25.50 mm vs 19.25 mm for M43. So it in theory it should be possible with an adapter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flange_focal_distance Also confirmed here: http://www.similaar.com/foto/lensmount/lensmount.html Anyway, i can't find such an adapter either, except for a rumor from 2010.. http://www.43rumors.com/ft3-novoflex-ready-to-launch-a-new-nx-to-mft-adapter/ Ernesto Mantaras 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Mantaras Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Oh. So I guess it's not economically viable. Bummer. Luckily for me, it's not the end of my life! But I had to ask. Thanks for taking the time to answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galenb Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 This guy does some of the craziest torture tests during reviews. I know it's not the same lens but I think you should check it out anyway just because it's a great technical read: [url="http://m43photo.blogspot.com/2012/02/samyang-75mm-f35-fisheye-lens-review.html"]http://m43photo.blogspot.com/2012/02/samyang-75mm-f35-fisheye-lens-review.html[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
