But at a minimum, I would suggest visiting a camera store and trying the Sigma 18-35mm/f1.8 in person and see whether the weight is an issue on the set up you have in mind. Of course it is your money to spend and your camera/lens to use, and that combo may work for you. Adding an adapter will make it a very front-heavy set up on your GH4.Įxperienced photographers such as Peter Hamm and Mary Doo have made similar suggestions on your previous thread: In particular, the Sigma 18-35mm/f1.8 lens is heavy for a short zoom. Spending a few hundred dollars on an adapter is just a major overhead on the cost of the lens and may lead to future compatibility issues. If you already own Canon or Nikon lenses, getting an adapter maybe a reasonable work around. Michael, my personal opinion is that generally one is much better off using lenses natively designed for a particular mount. Sorry if my terminology is of, I'm somewhat of an amateur.Thanks,Michael On the other hand, for video, it would be very nice to have manual aperture control.Which is going to be a better combo? I like the idea of camera and lens interfacing, but I don't honestly use auto focus, and I think it would be nicer to have manual aperture, although possible at the expense of a worse aperture ring (not certain of this though)Any help is immensely appreciated. The metabones website brags of their aperture ring, although I cant imagine it being better than the aperture ring built into the sigma. I'm going to suck up the cost and go for the well talked about Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 ART, but now cannot decide which version (Canon or Nikon) adapted will work better.With the canon EF mount and metabones EF to MFT speedbooster the advantages are the lens will have communication with the camera, although I will almost never use auto focus, It will let me use the lens aperature from the camera.With the Nikon F mount and metabones Nikon to MFT speedbooster the advantages are the cheaper price of the speedbooster ($479 vs $649 USD) and I will have a manual aperture control (built into the speedbooster) although I am not sure if this is much of a plus. I have finally decided on a lens to go with for the GH4.
