Annie Barton tested the [shoplink 56800 ebay]Kinoptik 150mm f/2.9 lens (here on eBay)[/shoplink] on the Panasonic GH4:
We think this copy we have could be a faulty lens, or a fake Kinoptik. It eats up quite a bit of light, so it flares a lot making the image less sharp. Maybe a longer lens hood might help?
Stay tuned for the upcoming Kinoptik 100mm. We like the 100mm much better than this 150 !!
This Kinoptik Focale is modified into a Nikon mount. The focusing barrel makes the lens fairly huge. The 150mm in Micro Four Thirds system makes the focal length even longer, and together with its size, this lens is not easy to use.

Is it me or was that lacking contrast to?
So, this is news?
I was wondering the same Jeff, seems any lens on ebay which can take an adapter is rumours fodder.
Yeah, exactly.
I have about a dozen lenses I’ve adapted for M4/3.
I want MY 15-minutes… goddammit!!!
Only lenses I use (apart from natural) are my older OM’s for which I use Kipon adapters, both straight and shift.
The ridiculous asking prices of these adaptable yet often times beat up and always inconvenient lenses makes the anticipated prices of forthcoming m4/3 glass seem good
