The Four Thirds system would require a 5.5mm adapter to allow infinity focus with Canon EOS and such a thin adapter is not able to be made, so for the time being, you can only get Micro Four Thirds adapters to allow EOS lenses.<\/p>\n
A cool example, is using the brilliant new, and very expensive, Canon 17mm TS-E tilt-shift lens<\/strong>. This lens obviously is 17mm on a full frame dSLR, and becomes 22mm on my Canon 1DMIII, but having the GH-1, adds to its versatility by allowing it to be used as a 34mm tilt shift lens and with HD video capability.<\/p>\n The Canon EOS 90mm f\/2.8 TS-E tilt shift len<\/strong>s becomes 180mm focal length field of view and has potential uses for portraiture and macro work where one wishes to selectively focus on a subject by tilting the focal plane and giving nice bokeh.<\/p>\n The LensBaby Composer<\/strong> with its movable central sharp region surrounded by blur in EOS mount works very nicely indeed and allows you to simplify your videos by blurring out unwanted distractions.<\/p>\n Now, the nice compact Olympus OM prime lenses such as the OM 21mm f\/3.5<\/strong> which becomes a nice 42mm street photography lens<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I won’t bore you with the other nice OM options such as OM 50mm f\/3.5 macro, OM 100mm f\/2.8, OM 200mm f\/4, but just for fun, here is the GH-1 with the Olympus OM 300mm f\/4.5<\/strong>. Now, this becomes a 600mm field of view and should give good results at f\/5.6. BUT, in addition, you can use 2x digital zoom in HD video mode to give 1200mm field of view – you might be wanting a tripod for this focal length reach though!<\/p>\n While it may be most efficient to have just a EOS to MFT and a FT to MFT adapter, then use adapters for other systems which mate with EOS or FT, a more stable method is to just use one adapter in the train, and new adapters are appearing all the time for Micro Four Thirds<\/strong> such as Leica M<\/strong>, and just recently, Cosina have announced Nikon F<\/strong> and Pentax K<\/strong> adapters.<\/p>\n The Micro Four Thirds system is THE MOST ADAPTABLE digital camera system available<\/strong> because of its short lens flange to sensor distance – its just so versatile, and with the absence of the mirror, we should be getting a range of bodies with different designs and functions – I would love a silent electronic shutter version, and an infrared-enabled version in addition to the cool retro design of the Olympus E-P1.<\/p>\n John Foster has posted his tests of Olympus OM lenses on the Olympus E-P1<\/strong> here<\/a> – these should be similar to results on the GH-1.<\/p>\n If you want to see more images of MFT cameras using rangefinder lenses<\/strong>, see here<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"17mm](\"http:\/\/www.ayton.id.au\/gary\/photos\/ByLens\/PanasonicGH1\/Canon17mmTSE\/GH1_Canon17mmTSE.jpg\")
