Though I don't own these, I have been given pretty much unlimited access to the following: Canon EF 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Good to know! As I've done more research, I am leaning heavily towards vintage glass like the Helios 44-2. Seems very...

Any GH4 users out there use the Metabones speed booster? If so, which adapter do you use (or recommend)? I really like the EF to MFT because it allows the GH4 to talk to the lens electronics, but then again something like the FD to MFT allows for all sorts of affordable legacy lenses. Your...

The NX1 certainly has some attractive specs but I'm plenty happy with my choice. I've read a lot of GH4 reviews and watched a lot of example footage, and I'm confident the GH4 is more than enough camera for me at the moment. Yep! Learn by doing. As I mentioned above I figure I need time to...
