Hi,

I have a few EOS lenses and Leica-R lenses. I want to mount it onto my Panasonic HPX302 P2 Camera for shots with shallow depth of field.
Has anyone come across any mount converter or anyone have used the EOS lens onto HPX302?

I am looking for a mount converter that can help me to fit my EOS lens onto HPX302.

Please help!

thanks.

People do this all the time using 35mm adapters, there is a whole sub-forum dedicated to this on here.
I'm not entirely sure how feasible this is on a full-size camcorder, because compact camcorders such as the Sony EX1/3 end up quite a bit heavier once all the rigging is in place. If you were to attach the same stuff to something the size of a 370, I suspect that there would be no practical way to use the camera except on a tripod, jib and/or dolly.

That said, until the HPX250 is available for sale, mounting a 35mm adapter on a 3xx series is probably the cheapest way one can shoot shallow DOF and record to a 10-bit 4:2:2 intra-frame codec. If someone has actually done something like this already, I'd love to hear all about it.
 
I've actually used one before on the HPX2100... A bit of a bigger camera. We had a Letus relay lens and I believe a Letus extreme adapter... Had an EOS mount.. Worked very well... It was very heavy- especially on my shoulder... but it is doable..
 
Interesting... adapters getting cheaper what with the new large-sensor cameras coming out, it may actually be an inexpensive option to go this route instead of opting for a second camera, assuming you're already knee deep in hardware.

But then there is the dreaded act of having to remove the V-wedge on the bottom the camera, which as many know, requires herculean strength and a tight-fitting screw driver to remove.

Edit: Yup, doesn't seem all that bad to use, looks like a pricy rig overall though. http://exposureroom.com/members/philipbloom/a81bc9e474d7437d8349c8c35229c1cc/
