Is infinity focus important for you with this lens? Have you considered the GH2?

There is no infinity focus with this lens, it is designed with fixed focus. You have to move the camera to focus. It is designed to be an 1:4 lens, when you reverse mount it a 4:1 lens. The GH2 is very expensive and I don't like it cheap plastic fake DLSR look, I was hoping for a GFx with GH2 sensor in future.
Problem with the micro 4/3rds cameras still is that there is no adapter that puts the lens at the "right" distance to the sensor, even the LSM mount to micro 4/3rds put it further away. So.. using it as designed, it will need a custom made M39 to micro 4/3rds adapter which does not act as an extension tube. At this distance, though, not even on micro 4/3rds the entire frame will be covered by the image circle!
It needs some puzzling and figuring out what is the best setup/application for this crazy sharp gem...
