GH1 + SIGMA 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC Macro

[producer]

Hi,
Anyone using GH1/2 with SIGMA 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC Macro?
Any impressions, recommends?
Thanks!

 

[producer]

No one using this lens or just tested it? Any issues?

I have the lens in EOS mount, but haven't seen any need to put it on the GH1/2. On a EOS aps-c dslr, it's a great little lens.

Would you describe your impressions about this lens, please? What about its manual control, especially for video?
Thanks!

What I mean generally is if there are issues like vignettes, tilts, blurs, unable to infinity focus, etc. when used on GH1.

Not having aperture contol on. Gh1/2 I typically would not use this lens on a non-EOS camera.

Unless the lens is damaged, its going to be fine. The rest is dependent on your adapter.

You mean not having MANUAL aperture control?

 

[Kin Lau]

My lens is a EOS mount, you don't get aperture control on an EOS mount lens on a GH1.

Sorry, I still don't understand: there is a manual focus control , ok. And there is not a manual aperture control, you mean???
Also, is the manual focus smooth?

 

[Kin Lau]

All EOS mount lenses have electronic aperture control, so they cannot be controlled with mechanical adapters.

Manual focus is adequate, the ring is a reasonable size, throw is ok with hard stops.
