Hello i've just registered to this forum, and since my problem is related to the discussion here, i preferred to following with a reply instead to start a new thread; i hope that's fine.
i just bought me an E P-1, with the 14-42 kit; while i'm not a particularly good photographer, i'm loving it and i'm reading a lot about micro four thirds, and seeing samples of the various cine lenses here and on flickr.
So, i wanted to buy a 25mm and at first i was attracted by Switar; since i was costantly outbid on them on ebay, i was considering also a Wollensak and other. But i'm a bit confused at this point in which could suit me better.
basically i'm looking for a soft bokeh and as little vignetting as possible, i do mind less, in comparison about barrel distorsion.
I would like to use them to film a little also, and so far i have seen outstanding movie results (in regard of resolution/clarity) for the Switar and (in regard of warmth of colors, bokeh) for the cine-nikkor 1.4
do you have any advice?
In addition to your advices, i would like to ask a couple of specific questions for which i haven't found answers on the www:
Are the Wollensak Velostigmat and the Raptar much different in regard of the above?
Are the two models of Cine-Nikkor 1.4 and the 1.5 different in any other way other than the aperture stop? Would be the Cine-Nikkor 1.4 worth the major cost on ebay in respect to the Wollensok, at the same condition?
I'm sorry if this post is not very professional, but i would be really happy to have some doubt solved and to learn to use the camera better.
thanks!
