What Lenses Are You Getting With Your GH-1?

[DavidNJ]

In addition to the stock 14-140mm, I think I will add the 7-14mm zoom (my guess is around $1000), and 2-3 primes, probably either 4/3rd Olympus with an adapter or Leica M with an adapter. Outside chance of 35mm with an adapter, in which case probably Nikon. I may add the short 25mm prime to make the camera more portable when necessary.

is this news?

You are right...where does it belong?

There's a mFT 20mm f1.7 prime coming in the fall. I'm planning to get that and the 14-140 and then add Leica M as needed.

mFT? Is that a pancake lens? I do a lot of indoor shooting so the 7-14mm (14-28 equivalent) seems like a good fit. Back in the day my 35mm camera used to live with a 21mm lens on it.

Voigtlander, made by Cosina who I believe also makes Zeiss lenses, has a 12mm F5.6 and a 15mm F4.5 Leica S mount; an M mount adapter is available. They are reasonably priced ($640 and $420) respectively. In the end it depends on how much better the Primes are.

Note that these lenses have a noticeable falloff. An center ND filter to correct can run nearly as much as the lens in addition to making the lens even slower.
