Maybe you know that but in case of not... Apart from proper mft lenses (like the fine olympus) prefer lens with manuel ring aperture control. That s why many prefer vintage lenses (beside optical characteristics and lower prices) or modern one completly manual (a la samyang 85mm). You can control aperture of EF lenses but with pricey electric adapter or not so good adapter with iris in them... Or a canon body. Shitty workflow :-)

not that cheap though... but yes looks like a great lens

One lens which I have and particularly like is the Olympus 75mm f1.8. I'm really hoping this will work on the BMCC MFT, but am not holding my breath.
It's not quite 80mm but not far off -- but sharp as hell.

okay now im reading about being able to change aperture and how i would need to set it on a Canon body first then remove. As i dont have a Canon, how do you set the aperture to wide open without one?

Canon EF 85mm 1.8?
Cant seem to find any cheap Canon FD 100mm in uk
-
@vicharris which mount do you have? might consider this in the new year. How much?
@tired Canon 85mm a bit out of my price range but looks great. @soundgh2 same for the Zeiss, i could get the 35-100 x for less to be honest.

Canon FD 100mm f/2.0 is fantastic straight from open iris. If you are lucky it won't cost even half of what Rokinon does.
Nikkor Ai 105mm f/2.5 is also great and not so expensive, when fully open it is just a touch smoother than tack sharp Canon. Only matter of taste- I love both lenses. If you re-sell it some day, Nikkor is the best choice, you will get what you paid for it.

meyer optik / pentacon 135mm / 100mm f2.8 are very nice cinematic lenses and not insanely expensive. Cheap adapters. Depends on what you need them for though.
I´ve tried the 70-200mm f2.8 zoom from Sigma in Alpha mount. Glass is nice but it´s not parfocal and it´s not dirt cheap.

Contax Zeiss or Zeiss ZF ZE 100 F2 Makro is very nice
-
Canon FD 85mm f1.2 canon FD 100mm f2 since the best adaptor on the market is only $50, there's no debate http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Canon-FD-FL-to-AF101-AF100-G2-G3-GF3-E-PL3-GH2-E-P3-micro-4-3-adapter-/251021722531?pt=US_Lens_Adapters_Mounts_Tubes&hash=item3a720f83a3

Don't put shitty glass in front of good glass. You can't beat the Rokinon 85mm for the price. And it's pretty small. I just bought the cine version and am actually selling the normal version if you are interested.

Anybody used a 2 x teleconverter with 12-35 x lens?
I've found an Opteka 2.2x 58mm thread that might work.
Howdy, Stranger!
