GH1 hack with PL glass makes for an impressive but expensive unit
Posted by DocumentaryTech on June 29, 2010 · 1 Comment
Putting PL mount cinema lenses on DSLR bodies is one way to go, and the question is always what you get for that amount of expense: A PL-mount Zeiss Ultra Prime 32 lists at AbelCine at $12,100, so it had better be good. How does it match a camera that has been criticized for its weak codec until a hack to its firmware opened up some of its capabilities?
At PrepShootPost, the experiment is underway:
First up was the Zeiss Ultra Primes, a 16mm and 32mm. Then the Optimo Zoom, and I managed to get a few shots with Sean Safreed’s Voigtlander as a comparison of what a non-PL still camera lens looks like shooting the same stuff.Below are some shots done with the 16mm/32mm and an Optimo Zoom 15-40mm and one shot with Voigtlander 35mm, can you guess which one?
