This is a local craigs listing and I'll going to be purchasing a GH2 soon...So what I'm asking is if any of these lenses are worth picking up along with an adapter for a GH2?

Thanks M&A!

I'd at least go for the f1.4 50mm and the 28mm. The rest are kinda meh for film. maybe the 35-70 if you really want some zoom (perhaps to do a hitchcock push or whatever other dramatic zoom effects you'd like...)

Either way, those are some pretty solid camera setups in there.

Both Minoltas were top of the line cameras from Minolta at the time. Pretty sure the T101 is the best of all mechanical minoltas.

I'm not totally sure about the Retina SLR, but I do know that the folding Retinas were god damn tack sharp and really pretty sweet. I'd imagine the lens is the same lens. All were German made - and made very well for that matter. If you can pick it up for cheap, that would be sweet.

But would the f1.4 50mm and 28 be okay on something like a gh2 for video?

Here's how a few different Minolta lenses look on a different 4/3 camera. You be the judge.
