Hi Phil.

I'm very surprised that in regards to the brevis35 you say "if you want the most flexible, lightweight, quality 35mm adaptor out there you can’t go wrong with it" when many of the active...

It's just the F2.8 I'm afraid, both my lenses are 70's classics picked up form ebay for £50 each :) The 50mm is much nicer then the 135 though!

Useful Ex1 accessories that don't exist yet

Here's a couple things I want to buy for my EX1 that I don't think exist yet, perhaps some of you more mechanically minded people can make some money out of them?

I'd like to be a beta tester for...

Thanks Phil. So when using the Letus adapters, do you vary zoom levels for shot composition? I'd assumed that zooming with a 35mm adapter would be to a one off affair just to get set up.

I'll try...

Messing around with a glidetrack

Just a few test shots with my EX1 / Brevis combo and a glidetrack.

It's a bit wobbly at times which is mainly due to the fact that I don't have a head for the glidetrack yet so the rig was...

I thought the rail mount for the Extreme was height adjustable? In any case the proteus rails are height adjustable too so it should all go together somehow :)
