GH2 Canon XL1 manual 14x lens on GH2 in crop mode

[Cosimo Bullo]

Hi all. We still have a manual Canon 5.7-80mm manual zoom for our old XL1 kit. It occurs to me this could me a nice zoom for the GH2 in crop-mode (it's fast f1.6), but I have no idea what kind of mount the XL1 actually is! Has anyone heard of an adaptor for this?

Nohting? Come on, gang. This is a really cool lens (I loved it back in the day on the XL1). Any ideas to rig it to a micro 4/3rds mount?

XL1 has a proprietary mount. I would try to ask to ciecio7 http://shop.ebay.com/ciecio7/m.html since he has a large number of adptors and also claims that can even manufacture unusual adaptors on request.
