Newbie question here, is it OK to mix the Lumix lenses with a Voigtlander or Nikon prime in the same project? I don't have any experience with the Voigtlander or Nikon so I'm wondering if it will be possible to match the look.

Or will these look very different that it may be jarring to the viewer?

I'm looking to rent the 25mm Voigtlander for upcoming shoot but I think I may need wider than 25mm for some shots, and may have to use a wider Panny lens.

TIA.
 
There are a lot of variables there, (lighting, environment, etc), but it can be done. I shot this video with my Gh2 the following lenses: Lumix 25mm 1.4, Lumix 14-42, Olympus 45mm 1.8, Canon FD 28mm 2.8, and all the puppet shots were a Canon 7D with the 18-55. http://youtu.be/2AKk9etnpPY

The best thing you can do is shoot a couple tests. Just set a simple scene up in your house, light it, shoot some shots with each lens and see how they cut together, and how much (if any) post work and/or color correction is needed to match them.

Then post the test here so we can see it : )
 
Yes, you can.

one of the best matched pair of lenses I've ever used was a Panasonic 20/1.7 and an ooooold Vivitar 50/1.7 M42-mount. 'twas uncanny.
