Is this adapter good for video as well? I might buy a LUMIX GH3 and I have a lot of canon lenses, will they work for video with this adapter?.

It will work well, but once you begin to stop down there will be some vignetting. It also will not work with all lenses. Having said that there is no better adapter for the price. If price is not an issue then get red rocks adapter. It will electronically close the iris with all canon lenses. the red rock is the best adapter on the market. I would not buy a gh3 if I had an option. Buy a t3i or t2i instead. Larger sensor will always give you a better image and a shallower depth of field. GH3 is a dangerous investment do not expect great images in post from that camera.

Yes I bought this adapter for my af100 which is just video and it works great! Very sturdy and built with great material

This will work with video; however I do not recommend this adapter. I returned mine because the iris ring is worthless. All it does is remove light from the edges as you stop down. The result is server vignette. You have a couple of options, if you want to save money and can always shoot wide open, there are some very cheap adapters (around $50). If you want iris control, I recommend the Redrock LiveLens MFT Active Lens Mount, it works great. The costs is around $600.

I use it to shoot video with my olympus om-d. Keep in mind the manual aperture ring has a "sweet spot" that I find is equivalent to about f/8 or f/11 , if you try to close it down further than that , noticeable vignetting does occur. For shooting on bright sunny days I recommend looking into purchasing a neutral density filter set as well.

Most definitely. We use it in the GH2 for the same reason - video - with canon and rokinon glass.

Is the mount for that lens a Contax/Yashica mount? If yes, then it should have no issues mounting onto that ring adapter and then onto any of those Canon bodies you listed. I did a quick search and a 28mm lens came up for it. You might want to read the reviews first. I recall someone else posting about a wide angle lens having issues.

The adapter should fit perfect on the Linux GF2 and all micro four thirds (MFT) cameras. This adapter is for using Canon FD lenses. Other adapters are available for different lensese to MFT. I chose Fotodiox brand because they were demonstrated on YouTube. I bought three to use my Canon FD 50mm, 35-300mm, and a 500mm on my Lumix dmc-G2 camera. Using older lenses will only work in manual mode which is fine, I shoot primarily manual mode.

Hi, No you wouldn't need any other adapter, it comes with a standard mount plate that would work fine. However, I will say this tripod is intended for video applications with the fluid head; when I used it for still photography it annoyed me as it does not have some features most photography tripods have. I found I used this only for video applications and bought a nice photography tripod for non video applications. It is a good quality tripod for the price though! Hope that helps.

Brandon, We did get it to work with my camera, but it did not work for video which is why I bought it in the first place. So, I can't recommend it.

You are going to get a massive amount of vignette with a 52mm to 3m step down. This adapter is for a specific camera, the Panasonpmic Lumix DMC-LX7 and it will pretty much vignette any adapter unless its within about 3mm of difference e.g. Common 55mm teleconverters from Olympus won't vignette but a 58mm canon adapter will. Your idea is not a good one.

I use this lens with Panasonic Lumix GX1 and it works perfectly well. Pictures are sharp with no flares or other aberrations. Should work with GH3 as well.

Hi, though the adapter should work fine I would recommend purchasing one of higher quality; I bought this adapter and after about four months of relatively heavy use it started to fall apart. Specifically, the locking mechanism on the lens to adapter side sometimes disengages and the adapter ring has now begun to separate into two parts, the result of which is that the lens can sit at an angle from the camera body if not propped up with a finger. However, if you're looking to save money the latter problem could possibly be remedied by using a tiny screwdriver for eyeglasses, though I'm not sure as I have not yet tried.

Have only used it with Canon 5D Mark II shooting video. Works great. Also used for streaming saved videos. Works great in that way too. Examples of video on takingmathlessons.com Hope this helps.

The Canon lens fits on it, if that's what you're asking. I just used one. I do not know if the adaptor works on the GH4 because I do not have one to test. But if the GH4 accepts the MFT adaptor then it should work. Note, there are no automatic controls of lens functions.

It may work, depending on your lens. The connection between the camera body and the adapter was a good fit but the connection from adaptor to lens was less than great. It wobbled and felt unsecure. If in doubt, order it and try it. Return it if you are not satisfied :)

I have 2 Canon t3 cameras and I got 2 of these to go with my cameras. They work perfect with them. For the price I would try it.

I'm not sure about your particular model, but if the interface is recessed as it is on my HDR-HC7, this adapter will probably not fit in there. I had to return this because I just couldnt get an angle on the adapter that would allow it to slide into the interface.

Hi Nykki...Yes. This lens will work with the Lumix GH4 or any micro 4/3 camera. ヅ

yes, working good. A good adapter, good thing that I found in your website other wise I have to spend money for new camera or or new flash

I have 2 of these cards. This card should be plenty fast for video on that camera. I have used it with my 7d for video with no issues.

GH3 and GH4 are micro 43 cameras, so if you have M42 legecy lenses, these adapters will work. You will lose your auto function and have to focus and set your aperture manually.
