Yes

My minolta lenses - which look like they might be older than these (i have a 50mm f1.7 MD Rokkor, a 58mm f1.4 MC Rokkor and a 135mm f2.8 MC Rokkor) - are pretty nice, but not as sharp as a modern micro 4/3 lens in my experience. Also keep in mind they will be equivalent to about double the focal length on a m4/3 sensor size. So for me, the 135mm is about as serious a telephoto as i would ever want on the GH2, especially with ExTele crop. You'll need a micro 4/3 to MD adapter (about $20).

I have a 28mm MD Rokkor 2.8 (I don't know if it's the same model as the one listed) and for video it's a good lens. Not as wide as you would expect (as it's really the equivalent of a 50mm on a Super 35 sensor) but I used it a lot, just take a step back to get that shot :)

It's a good low-budget lens for the GH2.

There are better choices for less money. There are a dozen versions of the 135mm, and all are decent, only one is truly exceptional and you have to see some small marks on the barrel to tell which is which. The zooms are sometimes OK, I have a ton of these and I never use them as the Olly 40-150 zoom is lightweight and seriously sharp and very cheap The 28 is average, but not as good as say a Sigma 24 or the exceptional Minolta 24 (Leica design). The Vivitar close focus 28 beats the Minolta 28 by a whisker. Bottom line: pick up a 50/1.4 or even a 50 1.7 from Rokkor on eBay, or go with the Nikon 50 1.8.

and primarily, I wouldlike one exceptional lens to do some nature filming (landscapes, rivers, mtns and stuff like that).

thanks again ...

I have done some research on my own and it seems to me that these Canon lenses might be compatible? However, I want to make sure, can someone give me an informed opinion? Thanks, Pam

which adapter works for the Minolta?

I am sorry I am so clueless - this GH2 was gifted to me, and I am trying to research much of it myself.

If someone could provide a link to amazon or the like for the adapters, that would be helpful.

oh? See, I have no idea, so each lens warrants its own adapter, i didnt know. thanks

Figure out what you want to shoot and buy a nice lens, like a 50mm or a Vivitar 55mm if you can find one, and an adapter. No point in buying a set unless you are a lens expert. Rokkor 1.4 has very nice color, look at Rokkor files for more info, generally, but no always, newer is better--older lenses can go out of alignment, look for 49mm filter for the Rokkor

I have this lens (and more than a dozen other Rokkors, bad LBA) and it is very good

Here's a classic for $35, Vivitar CF RL 28mm http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vivitar-28mm-F-2-8-Close-Focus-RL-Edition-/271090081086?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item3f1e3a5d3e

If I didn't have two of these, I would snap it up.

ok thanks

if you could help by pairing up two links, one for the lens and one for the adapter on amazon, that would be helpful

I have to shoot a range between medium close up of nature to landscapes.

Calm down. It's just a recommendation based on my experience. Everybody's free to make their own decisions.
