Zooms like c-mount Fujinon 12.5-75 f/1.2 for MFT - without an adapter. For GH2 only?

"Micro Four Thirds users, particularly Panasonic Lumix GH1 & GH2 shooters, have the unique benefit of using C-mount prime and zoom lenses for video. They were designed primarily for video and broadcast cameras. Most do not fully cover the Micro Four Thirds sensor. But by using ETC/zoom crop mode on the GH2, shooters can now fully utilise these lens without any vignetting. "

Will zooms like the c-mount Fujinon 12.5-75 f/1.2 work on the af 101 as well?

This is rather old news, the problem is the etc mode is soft, and doesn't look nearly as good as no etc.

If you want a reasonable priced zoom lens on the AF then using ENG lenses with 2x extender is a decent choice. I shot some very nice images yesterday with one.

I have a fujinon 14-84 with a 1.5x optical extender and it covers the sensor...technically. I use it for specialty type shots only, usually of my 9 month old, because it isn't crisp edge to edge. You get a bit of distortion around the edges but it doesn't really vignette. It's more of a 'bending', but gives kind of a swirly blurred edge. It can be kind of cool. I've used it on some paying gigs, but it does give a certain look.
