Hope this is helpful in giving you an idea of the various "looks" you can produce through the use of different lenses on this camera.
Good luck!
I use the Panasonic 7-14mm and love it. Only downfall is in lowlight. It works wonders with the Zhiyun Crane tho
The PEN and PEN Lite series cameras are fantastic, especially if you're on a budget. There's also a huge lens selection for the m4/3s mount compared to other mirrorless systems. A cheap fisheye for that system is the [Rokinon/Samyang/Bower 7.5mm f/3.5](
http://www.amazon.com/Rokinon-FE75MFT-S-Fisheye-Olympus-Panasonic/dp/B005TOU80E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1420391396&sr=8-2&keywords=rokinon+7.5mm) (the same lens is sold under multiple brands). If you want something super wide without the fisheye distortion you'll need a rectilinear lens like the Panasonic 7-14mm f/4.
For now, you can get a fisheye adapter for your phone, but this will not get you anywhere near the quality of a dSLR or Mirrorless camera. It will produce circular images, so you'll need to crop them. And as was mentioned before, the dynamic range (difference between the brightest white and darkest black in a single exposure) on a phone isn't going to be great compared to something with a larger sensor.
Hi /u/fantastictransistor - congrats on the upgrade from the T4i to the GH4! I switched from the T2i to GH cameras a couple of years ago, and it was the smartest camera decision I ever made.
You've gotten several good suggestions here - but it really boils down to how much money you want to spend, whether you want an auto or manual lens and whether you need a fast lens for low light. Here are your options, ranked from most expensive to least expensive, with some of the pros and cons of each [Referral Links]:
Hope this is helpful!
