One more macro option for the EF adapter. The Fotodiox C-mount EOS adapter works fine on my XL2. Use a 50mm TV lens as macro. No vignetation!

Just had my account verified and been waiting all week to pose this question.

Does anyone know if you could use an m42 lens with a nikon adapter for the XL series? My XL has a Nikon adapter, and as I have loads of old m42 lenses I was wondering if I could attach them to the camcorder via another adapter. This would mean 2 adapters between the camcorder and lens, although only one will have glass in.
You can use a M42->Nikon adapter that has a glass element to retain infinity focus, but you will lose image quality. Just give it a try... the adapter is only $10- on Ebay.

Guys,

I'm thinking about picking up an XL1. Do they have autofocus and will the quality be as good as (I don't know) the XL2?

I think they have autofocus. The XL1's quality doesn't look too good these days. It was replaced by the XL1s which cranked out a better image. Then the XL2 had 16:9 chips and looked significantly better, but still standard definition. I thought the XL2 was the best looking of the 1/3" chip standard def cameras.

This helps a lot. I was considering one but will now pass on it.

Thanks!
