Replying to Panasonic Lens Dilemma
Hey NS,
Hopefully there are some knowledgeable m4/3 people out there.
--(Before I start, everything listed is panasonic, and there is a reason I am asking NS and not another forum)--
Right now I've got a:
gh1
g1
14-45
14-42
45-200.
(bought the g1 at an amazing price with the 14-45 and 45-200)
Very Soon, I will be selling most of that and buying and a gh2 in a bundle with a 14-140, a 20mm pancake, and another 14-45.
BACKGROUND:
%80 filming (most of it skiing in the day, some night urban, I like having the possibility of using AFC which is why I'm sticking with panny lenses)
%20 stills (beginning to mess with macros, and reverse adapters, I like having the 200mm possibility)
*I feel like I won't be switching lenses out very often whilst skiing.
*I probably won't need the 45-200mm skiing.
Here are my questions:
1.What lenses should I keep? make $200 and keep the 14-45 and the 45-200 or is it worth simply using the 14-140.
2.Is the pancake worth $300?; its a very fast lens, but--(to my knowledge), 20mm is already covered adequately with both the 14-45 and 14-140
3.Is anyone looking for a hacked gh1 and/or lenses?
4. (opinion) Would it be worth lugging around a 14-140 when 14-45 is probably adequate?
Big thanks to anyone who helps, major K. I've got to make this decision within the next day.
