Micro35 (original thread)

Thank you James!

What is the LOMO project?

Cody Dulock · March 11th, 2005, 08:57 AM

lomo is the brand of lens he used on that project.

James:
This might be premature, but I was wondering if you have given any thought to what lens mounts might be available with your future pro micro 35?

Are there any adapters out there that would allow the use of pl mounts on the current micro 35?

Also, I wanted to thank you for your constant professionalism and patients with all the anxiousness surrounding the delivery date.

James Hurd · March 13th, 2005, 12:06 AM

Scott,
We'll be offering custom mounts for the micro35. Those mounts, once they've been designed, will probably make the list of available mounts for the pro (and the micro35 for that matter).

I'm not the handiest guy on the block, but I'll move heaven and earth for a chance at shallow depth of field on my Z1U.

If you build it, they will come.

Thanks Steven!

hey James, any word on when one will be ready for an XL2?

James Hurd · March 23rd, 2005, 10:45 AM

Brad,
We've got an XL2 arriving this Friday thanks to Fernando! So We'd expect to have it completed in a week or two.

I'll keep you posted!!

Hey James,

I'm all the way in Singapore and I think I'm looking into a kit, since I can't even easily find parts to build the $14 steadicam thingie and went mail order with the magiqcam too.

I'm running DVX100a (PAL here of course, not that it'll matter to the micro35) and nikon f-mounts.

How can I make payment ? Do you take TTs ?

Will Robertson · March 28th, 2005, 03:24 PM

This is kind of random but it looks like you've got some competition... http://www.guerilla35.com

James Hurd · March 28th, 2005, 03:55 PM

No worries. The micro35 is a great product at an awesome price.

A website and sample footage are the easy part ;) I wish them well!

Their price is estimated at around 1 grand... I am sure Barry Green will do a side-by-side comparison of both products. I think James' product will most definitely sell more because of the price difference. It's a shame that you can’t combine forces with one another and make a super product BUT I for one will claim loyalty to the micro35 system. 1000$ is just a LITTLE too much for me.

Kyle Edwards · March 28th, 2005, 06:04 PM

They're using a static method too. To put it simply, a tube with glass in it.

Either way, it's good to keep your options open and wait to see either final product....whenever that is.

Brian Valente · March 28th, 2005, 06:10 PM

Right - soooo, what exactly does that mean and how does it compare to the micro35 method (not in the mechanics, but in the 'so what does it really mean' category :-) ) Thanks
