Serious Angenieux Glass here! Is it usable?

[Uncle GroOve]

So my friend has invited me over to hack his old GH1, and casually my eyes fall on a pristine Baulieu R16 Special Zoom camera, outfitted with a badass piece of french glass.
Do you recon it can be adapted to the GH1??

Thank you for your opinion,

Paul

I belive that it must have some vignete on GH1

That's the ancient Angenieux 12-120. Not all that good a lens. Not the worst, but not the best. It would probably vignette horribly on the GH1.

But you could put it on there. The R16 is a c-mount camera, and that lens looks like it's c-mount, so get a c-mount->m43 lens adapter and slap it on there. :thumbsup:

Thank you all...
Yes I did tell my friend that it would be virtually unusable below 20mm - we were just wondering if the usual C-mount adaptor would work.
His stuff has a very "garage" (to use a music genre metaphor) in style... he isn't looking to shoot National Geographic quality footage.

Ciao

It will absolutely not cover the sensor.

Pretty lens. You can use it in Digital Zoom 2x crop mode (video) with GH1 - I think...
