Red Pro Prime on a GH2

[Shawn Nelson]

I love my RPPs!!

Here's some stuff shot last night on a GH2 with my RPP 35mm, which when used on a GH2 becomes sorta like 42mm on a Red.

All the exteriors were with the RPP. Then the interiors were mostly with an Optex Canon 14mm PL that I bought here on Reduser from Hunter Richards.

I enjoyed the smaller form factor and touch screen. The noise and latitude of the GH2 made me realize how awesome the MX is . Can't wait for Epic!

Looks pretty impressive Shawn! Just curious... What does a GH2 look like with a RPP on it? Or should I say, "What does a RPP look like with a GH2 on it" Got any BTS pics? Thanks for posting your test. Peace.

Lol, well put. We secured the rig to the bottom of the lens adaptor and then hung the GH2 off the back of it. Looks a little silly, but it's very convenient to be able to change the Gh2 battery without having to unbolt the rig!

I did not get a picture, but further testing is in order (I really want to test out the RPP 85mm). I hope to get a picture then.

Thanks for the kind words

Really nice Shawn. This could be a great little b-camera to Red for those times that call for it. I was on a high end shoot recently, 2 camera Red job, where the DP brought in a 7D when one of the Reds wasn't acting correctly. Some DPs get squirley and time is money. This would be a better offering as the GH2 has resolved a lot of those issues that plagued the Canon dslr cameras. Temp fix for small form factor PL camera before Epic rolls out
