Adapters are pretty easy to make and requires no optics as long as the lens format has a longer flange focal distance than the cameras native lenses.

I adapted one EOS-lens and several m42-lenses and for those formats any cheap ebay-adapter will do. FD would also be possible, as simurg suggested.
As for the slow motion, it was actual 720p50. I appreciate all the feedback, guys! :)
Beautiful. Really professional. If I didn't know better I could easily think this was done with a RED or an Alexa. The slow motion looks really crisp. Was it twixtored or did you shoot with a different camera? Or was it actually shot at 720p?
Great job! Inspires me to be more creative!
@cekrem what adapters did you buy for the lens?
Thanks a lot, guys! Wouldn’t have been possible without the hack, so I owe you many thanks!
Pentacon 50mm f1.8 and 29mm f2.8 for the interiors with the computer guy, pretty much asahi super-takumar 50mm f1.4 for the rest. (The latter usually @ f2.8, wide open it's too smooth). I also used a (modern) lumix 7-14mm and a tokina 11-16, those two took a lot of grading to come close to the rest! Actually there was almost no grading besides the wide angle shots... :) Yeah, and we blew a few fuses on the house where they ate (or where going to eat), so those shots were brightened a bit in post (luckily the fuse powering our fake sun didn't break:) )
hacked gh2 > everything else below 3k$!
Once again thanks to all! :)
@cekrem Yeah what do you mean by vintage lens? Great job by the way!
well done! Thumbs up!
@cekrem That's great, Beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration on a Monday Morning! :D
