Try looking for a JVC GY-DV300U. It's an excellent three 1/3" chip camera, that can be found in that price range. I haven't seen many for sale lately, but with a little patience you can probably find one.

$1500 shipped, it's gotta go.

Any takers?

This Letus has been discontinued so its not easy to find one that mounts the 35mm lens directly to the XL2 body. It flips the image and loses about a stop and 1/2 of light.

This adapter has been used less than 5 hours.

I'm asking $700 plus shipping.

Here is a link to a clip I shot of the wife doing her make up.
This adapter really does make some nice pictures.

I have purchased Russell's Xl-2 and just wanted to give a little feedback on the transaction. This was a good deal from the start with good results.

The camera was what he described and I would buy anytime with him on anything I would need. Good guy! honest, and reasonable.

Thanks again Russell

I believe this is an older model unit. it is a ONE stage deal. It is in decent condition, it works fine. I just want to reduce weight, and am going with
smaller Bogens. $105 shipped withiin USA only. Google checkout preferred plus 2%. This does NOT include a head.
