p.1 #1 · Meyer C-Mount 3" f/2.9 on GF1


For your amusement, here's another c-mount lens on a GF1. This is a Meyer 3" (75mm) f/2.9 "telephoto." With the 2X crop factor of the GF1, the field of view is equivalent to a 150mm on a 35mm camera. Unlike the 25/0.95 Angenieux, this lens does not vignette on the GF1. In one of the shots to follow, you'll see an EF 70-200 IS in the background, which gives a good sense of the diminutive scale of this lens. This thing is so small and light I really don't notice having it in my backpack. It also fits with the body into a very small carrying case, unlike my 5D2 + whatever. The pictures to follow include some of the lens and a few samples: one showing the lens to be "dreamy" (aka "soft") at f/2.9 but sharpening up nicely by f/5.6. The sample pics are straight off the camera, into Adobe Camera Raw, and processed into JPG's with no other adjustments at all other than resizing.

Nice, I got a kick out of the size comparison.

Yeah, too bad the little guy doesn't perform like the big one. (How could it?)
