Very nice find. I have the Nikon 50mm 1.4 Non AI that I use on my Oly Pen EPL1 and it works great.

I recently found an OM-2 and a few lenses in my folks' basement. I don't think the body is functional but the lenses are certainly fun on my Canon 60D.

advice on good c mount?

I'm on the lookout for a cheap c mount lens for my gh1 to be used for some video work and was wondering if anyone know of any c mounts that would have minimal vignetting? I would be interested in something around the 17mm to 35mm range preferably something at 25mm. Obviously the faster the better with some nice bokeh :-)

One of those fast zooms would be nice though I've heard that they're the worst for vignetting which is a shame because they could potentially cover most of the range I would use for filming.

That Vivitar is Cosina made, and not too shabby. I used to use one. Let us not forget the Tamron SP 17mm f/3.5

The OM Zuiko 28mm f3.5 is going to be your best value. The 2.8 version will generally sell for around twice as much. The f2 version is expensive -- I don't know what your budget is, but that one would likely be a "bank breaker" somewhat.

I've got a 19mm Vivitar lens that's looking for a new home. Check your FlickrMail.

I was video shooting a wedding at the weekend on my gh1 and for the most part I used a 50mm fd 1.8 which was great for low light, but with the crop factor it was difficult to get a wider shot, so I was wondering if anyone would have advice for a legacy prime 24/28mm that wouldn't break the bank?

Any one else use one of these lol. I found it suits my macro needs good. Better then the sears 202 I was using.
