Ron ,

Very cool. I like DIY stuff. I am thinking about trying to make one of the DIY Merlin 2 stedicams I see on YouTube. I currently have the Canon EOS-M camera which is very small and weighs next to nothing. If it works, why not?

Cheers,
Alex

Nice way to rig it, Ron.

I made one for mine in April. See it here.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your comment.

I'm a fan of the WA adapter, intend using a Nokton 25mm F0.95 with a .46 Fujiyama. An ebay special, however it's tack sharp with very little edge distortion. Handy, as it should finish about 24mm. In a pinch the lens + adapter will do most things for me.

Cheers.

Ron.
