I haven't found any concrete info on it yet, so I am hoping some of you more technically and experienced users in the field of photography and film can help give me a focal length.

What is a normal focal length for the GH2? Meaning which focal length gives you a normal un-distorted view of the world as seen by the human eye? To my understanding the 50mm focal length on a 35mm camera is considered a "normal" lens - could be wrong, so please help.

Thanks!
 
The Pany 20mm is probably the most common. However, there are newer lenses that have just came out, the Olympus 12mm f/2.0 and the Panasonic 25mm f/1.4.
Both are very nice. The Olympus is a 24, but with the GH2, you can switch it into 48mm (ETC).
The other route, is going with a nice Nikon or Canon with an adapter. Just remember the crop factor (x2).

what do you mean by the Olympus is 24? I thought it's already a m4/3 lens? And ETC multiples by 2.6.
 
I'm working on a feature with the Af100 and the Pana 20mm is getting pulled out of the bag the most.
 
my 28mm lomo is my "Normal" GH2 makes it a 56mm never REALLY NEEDED more shorter than that... my last film I did on the 7D was done exclusively on the nifty 50
 
I use the 20mm pancake from pana. great normal lens. Also for longer, I go 35mm (80mm) with a nikkor.
 
Thanks everyone. The Panny lenses, do they also have the same infinity focus ring - meaning the focus ring doesn't have any focus stops - you can turn it clockwise forever.
