DSLR for video

[ryan_khoo]

Panasonic GH2 with Canon FD lenses together with a Merlin dolly. Super stabilized video shots.

How do you mount a Canon FD lenses on a Panasonic GH3 ?

Need to buy what adapter ?

Get from eBay. The adapter can be gotten for 20 odd USD but quality can be an issue. There is a European dealer who makes the adapter but his cost higher and quality is better.

I found out that most of the stuff on eBay and even Amazon are MIC crap. Sure they all focus to infinity. You find out why later because at infinity, it is over infinity.

You want an adapter to focus exactly on infinity on the infinity mark.

Why not just get a video cam altogether?

One other important factor when considering which camera to buy is the battery life.

When I am using a pns camera for video, I often find the battery depleting really fast such that I need a couple of batteries to last through the day.
