Just thought i'd post this - it's a page on Nikon Lenses & the mini35 specifically - but the info is good for people wanting to know more about the ins and outs [good and bad...] of adapters & non-cine lenses.

cheers

Thanks for the info. Does Dan still sell his lens gears? Are they standard pitch? I shall pass the info onto the Mini35 owner Steve Rice.

Cinevate.com is selling Dan's gears.

Thanks for the info.

Dan's gears did turn up on Cenevate - they are a greta solution - standard pitch, and because they sit out from the lens the very short focus roll on a Nikon is compensated for by increasing the circumference of the lens.
