GH2 Will Nikkon Lens retain stabilization?

[jimmiesner]

I am looking into the GH2 and a 70 - 200mm nikkon lens. The lens has stabilization. Is there an adapter out there that will allow me to use it on the GH2 and still use the ois?

No.

 

[daihard]

No.

Haha, No.

 

[Minor]

Nop.

So I think we can say that the consensus is 'No'

 

[John Caballero]

Yes!

 

[DPStewart]

Absolutely

While it's possible in theory, so far there haven't been any M4/3 adapters that will power the IS built in to some Nikon lenses.

On the other hand, I always wondered if the m4/3 adapter for Canon lens from Red Rock would activate the IS... Anyone knows? It powers the lens with a 9v battery after all.

A priority in the GH3 should be internal OIS.

I haven't played with one, but I've heard that the RedRock adapter ONLY works with the aperture of Canon EF lenses. No mention of IS at all.

Would be nice if it didn't compromise the video image. If I had to choose, I would pick new sensor and global-shutter first.

Thanks for answering my question everyone. Maybe Panasonic will come up with something this week at CES.
