LenBaby with GH1

[ZumaDog]

Hi all,
I just got my GH1 last Friday in Los Angeles, CA. Over the weekend I ordered a 4/3 adapter to Micro 4/3 and a LensBaby Muse. I got both together and hooked them up but there doesn't seem to be a way to focus the LB. Auto focus won't work and the LB has no focus capability. Has anyone tried a LB on their GH1 or G1 and had good results? I'm planning to return the Muse for a Composer model which holds the frame once set (the Muse forces you to hold it in position while shooting). I know this effect can be done in post, but that takes all the fun out of it doesn't it.

Any suggestions gladly accepted.

Had one of the earlier LB models, strictly manual... found it too damn awkward to use easily. The Composer model should help you out.

Cheers,

I have the same set-up with the composer. It actually can't hold critical focus even at F22. I'm going to have to try to modify the lens. I was quite disappointed. There is a picture I took with it here: http://www.hotrodcameras.com/gallery/?album=2&gallery=4&nggpage=5

I've stuck my Lensbaby (Composer) on my GH1, but haven't really tried anything with it yet. I agree with the other though, that for video the composer would be the one to have.

Disappointing about the focusing issue though...hmmm...

I have the Muse as well.

I have the Muse as well.

I bought the Lensbaby Muse and will be trying it out on my HVX 200 and Letus adapter. Im hoping to use it on my gh1 as well. Im not looking for perfect focus just to create a dream sequence type shot.
