    you need shallow DOF?

    I think m43 would be fine for your needs. You could simply buy any f1.2 four thirds lens then get the corresponding adapter and whack it on your m43 body. It would be manual focus though. There are no m43 native (with auto focus) lenses. The panny 20mm f1.7 is the widest.

    However f1.2 on a aps-c sensor (1.6 crop) will be shallower than on a m43 sensor (2x crop). The difference isn't huge but it's note worthy.

    I'd say look on flickr for some pics like 'gf1 f1.2' etc and see if you like it.

    You can get a canon FD 1.4 50mm (100mm effective on m43) quite cheap and it's very sharp.

    • hey cheers - thanks, wasn't sure if it'd actually be good enough. will do some researh - gf1 looks v nice.inteliboy
