TPF Noob!
I passed by a unique camera sale/exchange place (Canada). A Super multi-coated Takumar 50mm/1.4 attracted me and it was in excellent condition, for $150 (not sure if final). My camera is GH3 and (besides the zoom) I am looking at the moment for a used prime. I never used m43 before and I don't know a lot about the equivalent thing to m43. I have many questions: Is this lens equivalent FOV of m43 100mm lens? Is the equivalency method same for still and video? How is the focus? Those who have 50mm legacy and use it on ur m43, how do you guys find it for portraits and indoor video? What adopter is used/average price? (I seen a screw on the lens.) Would I be better getting a 25mm in FF to be equivalent (almost) to the 45-50mm spot in my m43? Any comments and samples are appreciated.
I read so much about the 50mm being good for video and background and seen amazing videos but not sure how it works on m43:

I found this website about equivalents and it seems different; what do you guys think of it:

Note: The dust in the photo is on the filter; I opened it and it is clean inside.
