Cheap lens for film?

[Manu-4Vendetta]

Hi newly, im reposting in this area seems more appropiate for the question.

I'm a filmmaker aspiring and will buy a GH1 for shorts and video.

Right now i have a limited budget, i think buy a kit lens 14-15, but would like to know which lenses low-cost (legacy or another system) can be useful for cinema with acepptable results.

I was seeing the forum, checking the pictures and i have noted the following lenses:

• SMC Pentax 50mm F1.4
  
• Konica AR Hexanon 28mm F3
  
• Pentax 55mm M42 F1.8
  
• Pentax M50 F1.7
  
• Pentax-k 55mm F1.8
  
• Minolta MD 85mm F2
  
• Konica 50mm F1.7
  
• Olympus OM F.Zuiko 50mm F1.8
  
• Olympus Zuiko OM 50mm F1.4
  
• Super-Takumar 50mm F1.4
  
• Nikon 50mm Series E F1.8
  
• Nikon 28mm Series E F2.8

But only can buy four cheap lenses and i don't know if these work well on film like at pictures. Recommendations and what generic adapters for them please.

PD: Forgive me for my bad english

I the 5 Pentax lenses you have listed, so I can comment on those... I've found the sharpest would the Pentax-k 55 f1.8 and then the m42 Super-Takumar 55 f1.8, these 2 will yield sharp images wide open. The M 50 f1.4 is a touch soft wide open, M 50 f1.7 great lens and the Super-Takumar 50 f1.4 sharp wide open...

You will probably be able to find the prices in this order:

• M50 f1.7 $40+

• K 55 f1.8

• Super-Tak 55 f1.8

• M50 f1.4

• Super-Tak 50 f1.4 in the $75+ range...
