mini35, is this possible? at DVinfo.net

Rafael Cruz · February 22nd, 2005, 02:05 AM

i have the mini35 400, and recently i stomp with a set of nikon af primes, since i already own a PL and a canon ef mini35 adapters and this week ill be buying the FX1 HDV connector (cant wait to see these HDv/mini35 pictures) i was thinking on saving some extra money by buying a Nikon to EOS mount adapter ring like the Novoflex Nikon to EOS mount adapter, could it be posible to connect this ring to the canon ef mount adapter for the use of nikons in this setup?

a final thing and a little OT- recently i have notice that this forum is not as active as it was a couple of months ago and it is sad because i have learned a lot with the posts of other mini35 users out there like Charles Papert, Rob Lohman, Eric MacIver, Dennis Hingsberg ect. (by the way a big thankyou from my heart, it is admirable the way you guys give up and share your knowledge without asking or expecting anything )
so this said, lets keep it up and see you in hollywood :)

Still here.... just not as often recently. I hope to do some tests w/ the Sony and Mini in a few weeks when we purchase ours for the rental fleet. When I do, I'll post any relevant info.

Eric,
It looks like there is a discrepancy between the rental price on the website :

>>All Inclusive Rental - Pro Package
Includes DVX100a, Mini35, (5) Nikon Geared Prime Lenses, 4x4 Matte Box, Follow Focus System, Tripod, Fluid Head and Light Meter or Directors Viewfinder.

Pricing: 1 day : $649/day<<<

and the price in your previous post. I take it for real the website, right?

$142/day is the price per day based on a 2 week (14 days) rental - and actually it goes as low as $135.64 per day.

Thanks.
