I currently use a Metabones c mount adapter. It's been great. However I bought a Kodak Ektar and the Metabones is just a bit too thick to allow a wider focussing range. Also the Metabones jiggles a little in the GH, which is annoying. Anything thinner that fits more snugly? Thanks

Got the latest 27" 3.4Ghz iMac, 12 gig RAM. Latest version of FCPX. I'm just watching tutorial videos, setting up FCPX and experimenting with a single 1 minute long clip, shot on my hacked GH1 (100mbps, max latitude). So everything is fine, importing, editing, colour balancing etc. But when i...

Anyone know an Aussie distributor/store selling the GH2 body only? All I can find are expensive GH2 kits.

Can't decide, although I'm currently edging towards the Nex 7. I have a GH1 (GH13) with several lens adapters (M, C Mount, Alpa), so the GH2 should be a no brainer. But the GH2 doesn't seem to have come down in price in my country (Australia) and you don't seem to be able to buy the body only...

I live in Australia (PAL) and happily shoot 50fps on a GH1. I'm about to shoot a lot of indoor material in the USA. Not sure what the building lighting is going to be. Should I switch to 60fps to sync with US power cycle? If so, will I notice the slightly faster frame rate in my PAL footage?

I'm using a PAL hacked GH1 with a shutter speed of 50fps. I'm about to shoot a lot of indoor footage on a trip to the United States. Should I switch to 60fps to avoid unwanted flicker? Will 60fps effect the look of my PAL footage?

Are too many stacked adapters going to be a problem on the gh-1? Obviously it moves the lens slightly further from the sensor with each adapter. They are manual focus lenses so no auto focus problems. Anyway.... Thinking of buying an obscure lens that comes with an adapter to Leica screw mount...

(Sorry I searched 3 pages of the Workflow forum and thoroughly on YouTube). Importing hacked AVHCD footage into Final Cut Express 4 on an Intel iMac using Log and Transfer. I opted not to go native on the hack by the way and I'm using Pal 25fps on the camera. Works easily and perfectly, but...

A couple of weeks ago I downloaded the PTool Wined version 3.40d for Mac, as linked from the PTool Manual thread. The thread which is now labeled out of date I see. I also see some of the more stable versions of the hack wont work in previous versions of PTool 3.40d. I can download the latest...

Canvassing ideas on a new lens to add to my set for GH1 (GH13) video. I feel I have most focal lengths covered with Leica M lenses: 28mm f2.8, 35mm f2, 50mm f1.4 and 90mm f2 plus Pan kit lens 14-140mm and Kodak C Mount 25mm f.14. I have M mount and C mount adapters. I'm going to be filming...

I'm reading here the suggestion to use one larger sized ND filter and step up rings for the various lenses you use. Would it be possible to add a larger sized polarizer with the ND and use it in the same way, or is the relationship with the light such that you need more than one polarizer to fit...

I just bought a GH-1. I've been an amateur photographer, but never dealt with video before. My first vid tests looked very hard with artifacts. Finally I got a few things sorted, understood how to get better results. I'm using all manual settings now, in-view histogram, AVCHD 12890x720, 50fps...
