JVCHD100 and Redrock Micro - Any Reports?

Luis Otero · November 13th, 2005, 05:17 PM

Yes, we are going to use the stock lens. I should be receiving the adapter tomorrow by 4:30 pm, so after that I will be doing some testing to report back the results.

apologies to everyone else in advance.

Luis, I seem to be receiving your emails but you are not receiving my replies. Weird.

Please, use the mail within the system (DVInfo.net). If I send you mail using my ISP directly, it bounces back to me. Just like a boomerang, as it happens in your country!

[QUOTE=Luis Otero]We bought the SG35 and expect it to arrive next Friday.

Luis did you recive your SG35, how long did it take between the time you placed the order and recived it.

Luis Otero · November 28th, 2005, 01:08 AM

About two weeks. Wayne will be able to tell you how fast he can manufacture and poste it to you. He was very accommodating to our needs, so I am pretty sure he will do the same for you (express, 3rd day, etc.).

Thanks Luis, though this info is helpfull its also very disturbing, as to why it has taken them more than 55 days
to send me one, its going to be two months in a few days.

Luis Otero · November 28th, 2005, 09:53 PM

Sorry to hear that. We were about to buy one of them before discovering the SG35...

I guess its bit too late in the day to change my mind or buy the SG35, I have already paid US1000/- out of which US158/- was for express mail. EXPRESS MAIL BUT NO PRODUCT.

I have the same experience like Mathieu. Redrock is great but you have to zoom in a lot. In addition to that I have to pull the focus with the macro ring and it´s hard to get a very sharp picture in wideangle shots. Lenses that are more than 1.8 doesn´t work inside unless you have tons of lightning. I wonder I the focus thing would be better with the P&S adapter.
Did anyone had the chance to compare the two systems?

Yusuf Thakur · December 11th, 2005, 01:29 PM

Recently checked the redrock forum there are guys who have not recived a redrock
order even after three months, moral of the story check forums before you BUY.

Finally recived the M2 a few days back, cannot mount it to the JVC camera,
with plate provided, there were no instructions with the package, have registered with the m2 forum but do not have access yet on info on how to mount. Anyone out there who has managed to use the two, does it require any adaptations. Any help will be much apprieciated.
