hey all
i am new to this forum. can someone with experience give some advice on which digital body to use the said lens? should i get an adapter for my M8, my sony Nex5, or get a new M4/3 body? I am aware of the vignetting. Just wondering which would be the best route to getting the highest picture quality using this lens.
thanks in advance!

I think a wide angle c-mount lens Will probably vignette significantly on an aps-c sensor, so probably a micro 4/3 is the way to go, even because it will give you a FL equivalent to 50mm on 35mm film, which is nice.

hey guys
thanks for the advice. now i have to look at the M43 bodies. the choice seems daunting. Is there a clear favourite for the users out there?
if i am using the M43 for ONLY manual lenses, what would be a good choice?
thanks very much!! |

The E-P1 and E-P2 are not as good as a NEX but usable. At 1600 my E-P2 starts showing considerable noise. E-P3 should be a big improvement and so would E-M5. Not sure about other models. But you have a 0.95 lens so why worry!

All Oly models prior to E-M5 are using outdated Panasonic sensors and are very noisy over iso 800.
The new 16mp Sony sensors should be much better from what i have seen on web. I don't have a direct experience with them yet but planning an upgrade soon

i think its the same sensor at the nex5. indeed the high iso is very useable. however, i am not a fan of the E-M5 form factor. i will check again the output from the Pen series. What about the Panasonic versions?

It can't be the same as the NEX as it's physically smaller.

hi guys
after doing some extensive research and trying out the RX100, i got myself the EPL 5 a few days ago, together with the 14-42 kit lens plus the wonderful zuiko 45/1.8prime.
Getting used to it now. I have ordered a Leica M-micro4/3 adapter so i can use my M lenses immediately. Looking at the prices of the Angenieux 25/.95, i have doubts if i want to buy that lens.
thanks everyone for the advice! |
