GH1 with PL mount (and anamorphics)

Yep, I use the Panasonic adapter. It seems to be a real gem on these VDSLRs. The 1080P on the 5D Mark II really helps sell it though based on these pics and the full frame sensor might be helping as well. Through various tests, I've found that the adapter can work all the way through 300mm, I would test further but I don't have anything beyond 300mm. The only drawback is that you would have to stop down to get rid of the image blur, which is normal.

is there more or less aliasing on the 5D with the anamorphic adapter?
 
Oh very stealthy

footage or it didn't happen!

just noticed some round lomo's on ebay.

don't you think you're pushing the weight limit with that GH1 on there?

good luck keeping up with the kid with that thing

No more than any given wide spherical lens would have..

Funny, I need to repost a good conversation about people shooting with Panavions Genesis, and how to deal with aliasing problems with sets and wardrobes. It made me laugh..

how wide can you go before you get vignetting?

On the 5D it starts around 25mm to 28mm.

On a APS-C 1.6 crop sensor, it's starts around 18 to 20mm.

However, remember that an anamorphic is a .67x wide angle lens just in the horizontal axis. So a 28mm becomes a 18.76mm lens approximately in the horizontal axis...

ok so with the smaller GH1 sensor and my larger 1.5x anamorphic adapter I should theoretically be able to go down to 10-14mm without vignetting. However I do like a bit of vignetting.

Can't wait to try it out.....cinemascope baby! there's no turning back now

Yeah, you should be getting some pretty wide panoramics with that.

Vignetting is a bad thing. However artistically I understand it. That said, you never want it
to be forced on you by system limitations, making you live with lens to sensor artifacts like that. Best to add it in post or modify the lens system to make it happen on location, so you can disengage the process on other given shots, or not.

well as I have to crop my 1.5x anamorphic image to get 2.39:1 there shouldn't be any vignetting. yeah I generally add a bit in post. I added a little in my cemetery test footage for the film. It's barely visible but just helps draw attention to centre of the frame and gives it an extra filmic quality.

I guess if you ever needed to shoot anti-tank/anti-aircraft weapon footage you can just take the cam off and put said weapons on that crazy tripod set up...90mm gun no prob.

I know I know, I'm more excited about the lens than I am about the camera. I don't think it will arrive till after I send off the D90........then I have to wait till the GH1 comes.....it's killing me! Hunter mount a scud on that thing and please put me out of my misery
