Does anyone have any experience with using pentax lenses on m4/3 body using some of those relatively cheap focal reducers (
like this)?
I know everything needs to be manual using these adaptors, but I'm curious how you change the aperture if your lens doesn't have a aperture ring.
It'd be great if anyone could share some sample images taken at different apertures to see how the sharpness compares with mounting the lens on a native Pentax DSLR.
With the new Panasonic G9 coming out soon with both great still and video feature in a relatively small body, I'm really considering moving to the m4/3 system. But I'm reluctant to completely get rid of my Sigma zoom lenses like the 17-50 and 50-150 f2.8 since they are pretty sharp. It would be ideal if these focal reducers can make these lenses somewhat usable on the m4/3 body.
