AaronChicago Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I have the 35mm 1.5 and love it. I use it alot with GH3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 do not buy either of those lenses - for that money buy a Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar 28-70mm in Contax Yashica Mount - stunning super sharp Zeiss lens great on a GH3 very useful zoom range - aspheric elements so super sharp or get a Canon FD 24-35mm zoom a stunningly sharp lens widely regarded as sharper than most prime lenses and a very useful zoom range on a GH3 tosvus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Isn't it a 3.5-4.5 lens? I'm sure it's nice, but if he's looking for a fast cine prime, it's a whole different beast. The T1.5 on GH3 comes in very handy. If I were shooting on full frame then I'd totally be comfortable with 3.5-4.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Dont dismiss Zeiss Vario Sonnars they are amazing lenses and the Canon FD L series zooms are sharper than most primes I use both those lenses on a daily basis as they are so good and versatile - I have no need for 1 inch DOF Try filming actors with a 1 inch DOF... they can't hit their marks and the director goes nuts as its takes 4 times longer to shoot the scene $$$$$$. if you want a fast prime on a GH3 the Pentax 25mm f1.4 C mount is superb - razor sharp and fast and alot cheaper than those over priced Korean Rokinon cine lenses - used them and didnt rate them Wesley 24mm f1.4 is also superb too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackHorror Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 or is it better to buy the 3 kit? Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-140mm f4.0-5.8 lens kit is expensive! i believe i could buy a better lens much cheaper... but....damnnnnn..... i have too choose..... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 19, 2013 Administrators Share Posted July 19, 2013 The new 14-140mm F3.5-5.6 is very nice. It can be had cheap with the G6 in a kit, if you sell the G6 body and keep the lens. I paid £750 for the kit at Manchester airport, granted duty free but not far off prices you can get elsewhere.
