normal lens preference for gh2?

[Stephen Michael]

Has anyone used the sigma 30mm with an adapter that allows for manual aperture control on the gh2? I have seen a few videos and I must say, it is an impressive combination. I am asking because I'm finding myself in need of a good normal lens, but am on the fence about which to get. At this point, I'd love to have the nokton 25mm, but it may be too expensive. Same with the zeiss 35/25mm. A nikkor 35mm 2.0/1.4 is also under consideration.

Thanks in advance for the help! You guys are great!

I think for the price, more people are choosing the Panasonic/Leica 25mm/1.4 lens. About half of the Voightlander 25mm that everyone raves about. The 25mm lens gives you about a 50mm equivalent when thinking in 35mm full frame terms. 50mm seems to be the all-around "normal" lens. In some respects it pretty much mimics the way the eye focuses on objects.
