  • GH2 test with 2 16mm lenses in ETC mode

    Posted by David Speace on November 28, 2011 at 11:14 pm

    This is a test of 2 lenses that I have, both are 12.5-75mm… the first is a Sony-Tamron c-mount lens and the second is an Angenieux 16mm lens Arri standard mount. The GH2 is set in the ETC mode…cinema 24p mode. You may not realize this… but the ETC mode is using the center of the sensor… utilizing a full 1920×1080 image area that these lenses cover… giving a full resolution HD image!!! Here’s the explanation of why this works…

    Everyone is probably sick of hearing me say it, but the GH2 is one sweet camera. The price/performance ratio is astounding!

    I agree Jason. I just received mine today and I love it. I didn’t realize how versatile the m 4/3 mount was. I had a bunch of hand me down Minolta AF and Canon FD lens that included a full range of primes, zooms and macros that I can now use with an adapter on the gh2 (which I couldn’t on an canon). That alone has saved me thousands. This camera is the gift that keeps on giving.
