I love you all. These adapter designs are giving me the ability to truly express myself the way I want to onscreen and let other people know how I feel. You, as fellow filmmakers, probably understand the liberating feeling that comes with people taking your footage seriously.

Thanks again chaps.

i love you too Ben...sniff..

I agree. I just picked up a used 50mm lens today to try out with the Leus. The low-cost options that these adapters open up are quite phenomenal. This is awesome, exciting stuff and a really great forum.

ditto here. i can still vividly remember the very first footage agus uploaded and how my jaw dropped to the floor.

big thanks to everyone involved in maturing this method.

I agree with you there Ben.

As Uncle Rico would say "Right on. Right onnnnn....."

:-)

We all love you all, or is that impossible? Should it be: we all love us all?
But your statement isn't a goodbye is it Ben?

Haha, a goodbye? Hardly--I'm just getting started with this adapter! In fact I'm working on a music video right now and should have it done and shown to you guys within the next two weeks. Neat stuff.

Ben, thank you, and if it makes you feel even better, I love me too! This place is great!!

I decided to get a 35mm adapter and lenses with my funds instead of trying to get an HDV cam first. Even with the absurdly low resolution of a cropped SD image, it still looks good. It looks like...art. As much as I like the Sony FX1, I know now with certainty that 35mm lenses and DOF manipulation are more important than HD. Finally, a tool/toy that really helps the cinematographer with artistic creativity. Plus, I get to start using filters again! Yay! My almost-permanently affixed wide angle adapter on my VX2000 got in the way of filters.

If I get my adapter working anywhere near as good as I think it should, I have a bunch of pioneers to thank.

Mahalo! (thanks in Hawaiian)
