GH2 Adaptor for Asahi Pentax Super Takumar 50mm f1.4?

[Fresno Bob]

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know what kind of adaptor I need to use a Asahi Pentax Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 on my GH2?

Many thanks

Actually, I think I just answered my own question. M42 to M4/3 adaptor

That is correct. Gives a lovely tone that lens, love mine, dread the day the element coatings will de-laminate.

I have a Canon 50mm 1.4 also.
Do you think it's worth keeping both?

Hi, do you know what the filter thread size is for this lens?
Thanks

If you need auto focus for stills keep the Canon. If you shoot video only sell it. I sold mine because though I shoot stills it's mostly studio stuff where I don't need auto focus.

Is it a Canon 50 1.4 in EF or FD mount?

Oh and Fresno Bob, nice to see another fan of Escape From New York here, great Carpenter-flick.

 

[Fresno Bob]

FD.

Yeah, EFNY is amazing!

 

[Gabel]

Well I like 50mm, great for shooting close ups of people, so I would keep it, as FD is easy to adapt. The 1.4 is also a lot better than the 1.8.

 

[Fresno Bob]

as FD is easy to adapt.

How do you mean? Adapt to what?

(unless you mean just the standard m43 to FD adaptor)

he means Canon FD. Any mount any brand will adapt find to your gh2 with the right adapter. Don't get too carry away on "faster" lens is better. test it out. real life usage on f1.4 is less frequent than bigger number.
I rarely use 1.4 unless I want some chromatic debris you know what I mean.
