subsequent Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Hi! I´m planning on buying a new lens to my GH2. I was planning on buying the 25mm Vöigthlander 0.95 prime, but now I'm not sure anymore. When the BMPCC is released this summer I'm planing to upgrade. So the question is (with the 3x crop factor on the BMPCC) should I buy another lens? I´m open for suggestions. Maybe some c-mount lenses instead? Please i need your advise on this decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Mantaras Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 The 17.5mm f0.95 Voigtlander would be a normal lens on the Pocket Camera, so perhaps that'd be a good choice to use in both that and the GH2 camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsequent Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Yeah, with the 17.5mm it will be a 52.2mm on the Pocket, if i got it right? Maybe i will just save up for the 17.5mm then. Any concerns regarding this lens? Maybe Andrew can enlighten me on what he thinks about the BMPCC. You think it will be the GH2 "killer" ?

ntblowz Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Yeah 17.5mm , clickless aperture and wide range make it more usable than 25mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voyagervideo Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 The 17.5mm will be around 35mm on GH2 and a bit over 50 on the Pocket - seems like a good investment. Don't forget though, when thinking of crop factor - a lens is a lens. A 50mm "equivalent" on a GH2 (25mm) will not look quite the same as a 50mm on a full frame. A wide angle lens cropped to normal lens size will still have wide-angle characteristics. I imagine this discrepancy will be more apparent on the Pocket. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

subsequent Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 I just ordered the 17.5 mm. My first expensive lens investment. Think i will be pretty pleased with the images it can deliver. Looking forward to test it on my GH2 =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
