Here's some horrible footage I shot of Quest Love with my ghetto homemade adapter. It confirmed my original suspicion that I need to buy one eventually. No CC, just flip. 50mm f/1.8 lens with occasionally +9 gain I think. Camera is a HC1 btw.

For the whole thing, color corrected and all (but at a worst compression)
Go to youthoutlook.org and there's a link from there.

On a side note, I recently bought a 55mm f/1.2 that came with a toshiba UV filter and BS-58 lens hood. The filter causes a glare, and goes away when I take it off. Is this because it's a cheap filter or are there other problems I dunno about?

Thanks,

wow, that is SUPER dark .. how many stops of light are you losing?

I have no idea but the studio itself was pretty dark. Outdoor footage is fine. Main problems are softness and vignetting. I think my focusing screen distance was off. As far as vignetting, I coulda zoom in more but that'd mean I'd have to get even further back which sucks cuz I had a small light on top of the camera.

Here's two outdoor stills:
