Need Some Panasonic GH3 Lens Advise

[ARThompsn]

Hello!

 

I recently picked up a GH3 and am wondering what lens setup to purchase.

 

I have done some research and am thinking about these two options.

 

1. Metabones Speedbooster with a Sigma 30mm 1.4 II (Nikon Mount) as I had the old Sigma 30mm 1.4 on my 550D and loved it! 

 

2. Voigtlander 25mm f0.95 and the SLR Magic 12mm f1.6.

 

Would love to know what you guys think!

 

Thanks  :)

the Sigma is a superb lens I use mine alot , Im not a fan of f0.95 lenses as they all tend to be soft fully open (unusable in my book so whats the point for paying top $$)

 

Speed boosters are very very useful I have 3 in different mounts and I now dont ever shoot wiith out them on my Panasonics

I think it starts with you wanting native lenses or not; if size and weight is an issue (for instance, if you want to put it on a stabiliser or an aerial vehicle). Option 1 is perfectly fine if you intend to get other lenses with it. The speed booster isn't cheap, but its value goes up with each adapted lens you add to your toolbox.

I have gh3, also the slr magic 12mm 1.6 and slr magic 25mm 0.95. I love all of them. I use the 25mm more. 

if you go to this guys videos and do a search or look at his earlier stuff https://www.youtube.com/user/darwinfish105/videos
