hi guys, i am from a 5dmkii background but have just moved over to the gh4.
i got the kit lens to start with, the 12-35mm 2.8.
i have a budget of around au$3000 to buy new lenses.
my priorities are a 25mm low light lens and an ultra wide.
i cannot make up my mind as to whether to go native or speedbooster route. so thats my question to you guys!
is going native a bad route as a budding cinematographer?
lenses i am currently considering.
lumix 7-14mm f4
lumix 25mm f1.4
possibly the 35-100 f2.8 though i dont often shoot with long lenses
to be honest, not a big fan of the fly by wire if i decide to get rigs etc.. though please correct me if i am wrong on this one.
if i go the sppedbooster route..
Samyang 10mm f/2.8 (might actually stick with the lumix 7-14 instead?)
nikon mount speedbooster
Sigma 30mm f/1.4
Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 OS
here is a bit about what / how i shoot...
i am an enthusiast and like to make short movies, 2-3 minutes, up to now, mainly timelapse but i bought the gh4 to explore slo-mo and video a bit more. obviously having aperture priority is helpful with day / night timelapse but i do have the lumix 12-35 to cover that. i would like to try making a short doco soon, here is an example of my work so you can maybe see what type of shots i take...

i dabble in photography now and again so not having autofocus might be an issue, again though i do have the 12-35 to cover that.
