The 50 APO is a fantastic lens and the look would be great, but the M lenses really have too short of a focus throw for video and no way to de-click the aperture. You would be better off with the Arri/Zeiss 50 t/1.9 ultra prime for video on the SL and it would work well with the PL to L mount adapter. It would cost a fair bit more than the 50 APO (believe it or not) but not nearly as much as the T/1.3 master prime. Those Arri/Zeiss are absolutely gorgeous lenses.
I don\'t know, this shooting motion with still camera form factor nonsense makes sense when it\'s a significant cost and size savings. The way they were using it at first, which was using a 5D II when you had to shoot somewhere a giant Arri film camera couldn\'t fit and using a real camera the rest of the time, it made sense. Now, it\'s out of control, trying to use them full time. These giant franken-rigs that cost more than the GH4 or Pocket Cinema camera they\'re wrapped around (not to mention quadrupling their size), mounting Master Primes and using giant professional matte boxes (which ALSO cost more than the camera being used)...I\'m not buying it. When we\'re talking about the cost of Ultra Primes, you might as well buy a camera that\'s actually designed for this. Hell, it\'s not necessarily even more expensive, a Red Raven\'s going to be cheaper than an SL.
