I foolishly took my GH2 to the beach the other day to shoot some pictures of a frisbee tournament. I was very careful to keep the camera out of the sand but it was a windy day and I guess some of the very fine sand got into the lens anyway. Is there a way I can get my lens disassembled and...

I've already made a post asking about using ziess CP.2 lenses for a film I'm going to be working on. I've been considering other options since it sounds like there will be some complications to using the CP.2 lense (need for a lens support, lenses are stiff, have to rent the lenses instead of...

I've been thinking about how it would be interesting to film and or photograph the sun. With the 14-140 and ETC mode giving an equivalent focal length of around 600mm I figure you could get a pretty good shot. My question is, will I damage my camera? I was thinking about a timelapse, and maybe...

I'm an amateur film maker (I've made a few shorts, and recently entered my colleges film festival). Anyway, recently I was asked to be the director of photography for a low budget feature length film. It looks like we will be shooting with GH2's due to the extremely low budget for the film...

Right now I have a GH2 and some basic equipment GH2 and 14-140 Manfrotto 055xdbpro and 701hdv Olympus OM 28mm f2 Olympus OM 50mm f1.8 Polaroid 62ND and stepdown rings for the OM lens. I'm looking to get some better sound equipment and possibly some more cheap lens. Right now I've been thinking...

I've been shooting a lot of timelapse stuff lately (using an intervolometer) and I was wondering if it's possible to use the electronic shutter so the camera won't make some much noise. Does anyone know if this is possible? Sometimes I'm shooting in a croweded area and I don't want to annoy the...

I'm working on turning in an entry for my Colleges film festival. My entry is a series of five previews (action, suspense, mystery/drama, zombie, and documentary/horror). I have all of the final cut projects and now I need to combine them and then render them. My problem is that some of the...

I'm planning to buy a polaroid variable ND for my GH2 and I'm trying to decide what size to buy. I have the panasonic 14-140 (62mm filter size) and I have a few olympus OM lens (49mm filter size). Is there any reason I shouldn't just buy the 77mm filter and a bunch of stepdown rings? I've heard...

I recently bought a GH2 with the 14-140 kit lens. I also have a couple of old Olympus primes (from my dads old film SLR), a 28mm f2 and a 50mm f1.8. I've been making short films with my friends for a while now and entering them in my colleges film festival but I would like to improve the quality...
