A alfred Active member May 14, 2011 #1 Does anybody know this lens: Tarcus TV-LENS 1:1,8/3,8 mm? Is it a lens, which works in the ETC-modus of the GH2 without vignetting? The guy wants 200 bucks. Is it worth the money?

Psynema Well-known member May 18, 2011 #2 Here's some footage on a GH1 by some German guy. Not the same lense, but still Tarcus FYI. C Mount lenses (what TV Lens is btw) will cover if they're cleared by a 1/2 sensor at the minimum. Be careful as most C Mount lenses are 1/3 inche sensors that won't clear the GH2 in crop mode. 3.8mm is kind of wide for a 1/2" sensor lens, so I'm guessing it won't clear. For 50-100 bucks at BH you can get a 1.2/1.4 fstop lens for your GH2 that will clear http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/573470-REG/Pentax_C60607KP_C60607KP_1_2_C_Mount.html http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/586064-REG/Tokina_TVR0614_TVR0614_1_2_C_Mount.html
