got this lens also, based on your review.. great cheap wide low light lens for the gh2.. If you need wide low light and only have a few bucks this is a great lens. A bit harder to use being cctv, but gets the jobs done quite well.

@Ebacherville Yep...really nothing comparable in existence other than other CCTV lenses...so makes sense regardless of your budget/needs

great vid, what c mount adapter do you recommend for the gh2

[psynema]

@1edrakel I believe I used Rainbow Imaging, but they're all the same for the most part.

Great Video--How would you enlarge a plastic c mount for the tamron lens

[psynema]

@1edrakel Not sure what you mean, is the adapter plastic? I'd still file it down and luckily you should have an easier time perhaps, just don't get a heavy lens (the 4-12 is light)

great review psynema, thanks a lot

Excellent review. Thanks!

Got the IR version from B&H. Got the more expensive Kipon adapter ring on Amazon and it needed no filing down- the lens worked right out of the box. One thing on the GH2 though- until you press record, the image appears soft. Once record is pressed everything snaps into focus. Love this little lens! Great video.

@tai530 No the sensor is too large on those cameras and they don't have any ETC mode so they will vignette. GH2 only pretty much unless something else comes out.
