Do you have any recommendations, Andy?  I have the 14mm/2.5, the Fujian c-mount and a 50mm.  I would love to keep the camera small so was thinking of that 14-42 Vario, whatever it's called.  It seems to have mixed reviews.  In canon I have the 10-20mm Sigma, but no adapter yet.

the Panasonic 14-42mm 'kit lens' is actually a very sharp useful lens (it has aspheric elements) and its cheap and readily available on ebay for about £60 , its light and small - useful to have around all the time

 

Pentax 25mm f1.4 c mount is a favourite of mine

 

the 10-20 Sigma is a nice lens but it does 'bend /barrel on the edges noticably

 

the whole Pentax 110 lens range is small light and has a very filmic looking

they made the following - 18mm, 24mm ,50mm, 70mm and a 20-40mm zoom - all f2.8

you could shoot a whole film on this set of lenses and the whole lots costs under £150

 

with a £10 adaptor off ebay you can use these on your BMPCC GH2 AND G6

 

Here is 18 24 and 50 off ebay

this is the Canon EF - Micro 4/3 adaptor I use

it has an aperture built in it (as all your Canon lenses are now just usable fully open )

the aperture works well on the Canon 50mm f1.4 and Sigma 30mm f1.4 primes making them stop down and usable

but doesnt work well on the 24-105mm L series zoom - it causes vignetting.....

 

but the adaptor is well made and works well
