I think it will vignette badly. Not really sure.
I would be expecting the price of Panasonic wide adapters to come down with advents like Metabones, Mitakon Lens Turbo and now The Vizelex Light Cannon.
None of these will, of course, work with my Panasonic H-H013 14mm - but, like lots of other folks, I'm holding off on a Panasonic wide adapter: first for-the versatility of a focal reducer with one of my wide full-frame lenses - and secondly, because I've had heaps of luck (and praise, and cash earned!) with my Panasonic 14mm H-H014 attached to a 1980's "Optron Video 0.5x" wide adapter.
@double_vision I bought the Soligor off of ebay for an inflated price a couple of years ago when I got my GH2. It really is cheaply made and sold for a couple hundred bucks originally. Since the DSLR revolution all of these cheap focus through anamorphic lenses have soared in price. The Soligors are pretty rare, but they are basically the same as the Century Optics anamorphs. I will probably only use it when I need the lens flares, otherwise I will probably use the wide angle and crop for 1.33. It's much sharper.
@Trumpetman thanks! looks quite significant change in fov. I was wondering where did you buy the 1.33 Soligor anamorphic ? Couldn't find one on ebay.
I think this will be a perfect set up for the pocket cam.
Sorry, anamorphic floats and skewed as I took the picture but you get the drift.
These are stills of the 14mm 2.5 without adapter, with GWC-1 wide angle a 11mm, and the 1.33 Soligor anamorphic for comparison.
Meaning you want a new one but the price is low because someone bought the kit new, then sold the camera and the lens. You can also get a black color if you like.
@DrDave what do you mean, are you sure they can be diferent?
That's a top lens, panny 14mm, just look for one that is separated from a kit.
Hi Guys,
Now I got my refund from my Slr magic 12mm I want the panny 14mm with the DMW-GWC1. Who can tell me whats the catch on this new H-H014, why its so cheap?
I just ordered one of these today, based on all of the reviews here. Thanks. I almost ought the slr magic. But I have a hangup about any product name that has the word "magic" :) I just sold my la7200. Sad, but too finicky to use in rough shootiing situations. Also thanks for the the idea to cram the glassless 55mm filter ring in there. Brilliant.
I still don't understand the rationale why they took the LA7200 anamorphic adapter off the market just when they were getting popular and needed again. In it's stead they didn't put any improved version of LA7200. So is this new GWC1 adapter going to be the replacement for LA7200? Or are they planning some kind of new anamorphic adapter too?
Got it today. Love it.
Definitely the adapter makes the lens less perfect. Slight distortion toward edges. Little bit more CA. Slightly less sharp. I call them "characters". I like since the new characters give more vintage look.
Compared to HyperPrime 12mm, it's sharper, less distortion, less CA, and better flares.
No filter thread is a bummer, but this is primarily for indoor where space is limited.
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
