Mirrorkisser Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I am very curious about that lens. Some say that modern wide angle lenses are a lot better than the old ones, but i would get this one relatively cheap and its almost the 35mm equivalent on a gh2. Anybody? Cheers a ton!

andy lee Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 yes its good , FD lenses are very good on the GH2 and very cheap as they dont fit EOS Canons so ebay is full of great sharp lenses for the gh2........ cheap!!! Many Hollywood films used FD lenses with Eyemo cameras as crash cameras.... Check out the Canon FD 24-35 L series f3.5 simply stunningly sharp amazing lens....

Mirrorkisser Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Thank you Andy! I love the fd lenses in general aswell, once you know how to use them and know how to avoid the image gets too soft under certain conditions. So you made good experiences with the 20mm? What is a reasonable price for it in your opinion? Thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I would highly recomend the Canon FD L series lenses they are superb and very very sharp! even wide open at 3.5 20mm ...well keep looking on ebay they can go for $350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirrorkisser Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 cheers, i go for the canon fd probably, i get it below 200$ and i dont have to buy an adapter. but the cosina really looks good, too. It is slower though and costs the same here :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzNimbus Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I have one & use it quite often on the gh2. Lovely lens, and pretty damn fast for a 20mm. The filter assembly rotates when focusing, so forget about cpl filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
