GH3 Sony a Mount Lens on GH3 body

[MediaMason]

I've been a GH3 (gh2) user for a few years. I've used m4/3 lens and currently use m42 screw lens as my daily driver. I recently found a good deal on a set of Sony's A mount Rokinon cine lens. I was wondering if anyone has messed with that combination. Thanks in advance!

I don't think I've seen adapters, but the flange distance will allow it to work if you can find one.

There's an adapter for everything.

I've just never tried different mirrorless lens on mirrrorless bodies

AA mount is a mirror based system going back to Minolta Maxxum/Dynax cameras which Sony bought when Minolta decided they couldn't/wouldn't compete in digital. They kept the A mount going because it basically worked and they had a huge line of lenses ready to use.

I was misinformed thank you for the clarification Greg!

Definitely possible physically but I've never seen an adapter. Only ones I've seen are from Alpha to E-mount.

I used Alpha mount lenses on GH2 some time ago, even the very good Sony SAL16-50mm f2.8, the aperture ring must adjusted with the adapter itself. With the Rokinon lenses this will not be necessary because the integrated aperture ring on the lens.
Sadly there´s no Speedbooster to use Alpha lens on M4/3.
