If you really cut corners, you might be able to build your own and maybe 1 used lens for that. I don't think you'll find any adapters for $400 and under and able then be able to afford lenses.

The pitfall I faced when I first got my 35mm adapter was it requires so much light. Since digital cameras are so sensative, I didn't do much extensive lighting and used location lighting. So you're going to have to invest in a decent light setup to compensate for the light loss, or else everything is going to be really grainy from gaining your camera up or everything is just going to look really dark and flat during interior scenes and especially night scenes.

With $400, it isn't that realistic I don't think. I bet you could cut all the corners and build your own micro 35, get a couple REALLY cheap used lenses, some high wattage work lamps and some other lighting stuff for cheap from Wal-Mart or Home Depot. If you can do all this for $400, make a post about how you did it, I bet a lot of us indies out there would love to hear how to do it for so cheap! Especially if you can make top-quality productions with it!

I bought the M2 for $700. I thought that was going to give me great picture quality instantly. I've spent around $5000-$5500 in equipment just so I can get the picture quality out of the M2 that I want to get.
