I stumbled upon this a few weeks ago, and after seeing it in use, I think we’re going to see a lot more filmmakers using the GH1 as their go to camera. The PL mount allows you attach traditional film lenses to the GH1, such as Zeiss DigiPrimes, Panavision lenses, or those that come with the RED. As a bonus, I found this amazing camera comparison video that pits the Panasonic GH1, Canon 5D Mark II, and The RED against each other. Check it out below!

Thanks for all this very useful information and referencing. I am searching for a PLmount for our canon 5d II, any suggestions? We want to give it a go…
Is the HOT ROD Plmount best for canon?
You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your story.
