Hi All,
I recently got my first decent camera: a Panasonic G6. I opted to buy body only have equiped it with Olypmus' 12-50mm M.zuiko lens which works very well as an all round native micro four thirds lens and I'm really enjoying using it, but I'd like to get hold of some inexpensive older lenses to use via adapters. I have two questions:
1) If I'm to buy one adapter ring, which set of lenses should I go for? I have been looking at Canon FD lenses but a lot of people seem to use Nikons.
2) I could use some clarification on what exactly happens when you adapt a lens meant for 35mm sensors onto micro four thirds. I understand that the focal length is aparently doubled, but if this is because not all the light is hitting the sensor then how does it affect aperture at the fast end? Or have I got it all wrong..?
Thank you for your help
