EOS GH1 adapter??

[Gene Sung]

With all this talk about Gh1 vs. 7D, I might be doing a project a few weeks from now where we might be using both cameras.

The problem is, I have more lenses than my buddy who has the GH1. So I was wondering is there an EOS adapter for the GH1 where I can actually control the Aperture?

Kholi (I might be wrong) mentioned in another thread that you can use the Tokina 11-16 on the GH1. I didn't see a micro 4 3rds version of the lens, so I'm assuming he used an adapter.

I've seen several EOS GH1 adapters on Ebay and what not, but none of them say that you can control aperture.

Nah, actually, I ghetto-rigged it with a Q-Tip stick. Just jammed the aperture wide open.

However, that's another part of the GH13 project that's being looked into, as it already exists for Olympus cams apparently.

That would be a nikon mount you need to q-tip wide open. The canon mount 11-16 should default to wide open - well at least mine does !

Accurate. I had a Nikon 11-16/2.8.

I use NDs anywhere and anyhow I can, so keeping it wide open is fine for me. Mileage may vary.
