I am selling my original Ed35 Version 1.5 35mm static adapter. It is the adapter that I started the "yes I am afraid..." thread in DIY. This thread is a double post I know, and I apologize- but although things for sale belong here- it was very relevant to the thread in DIY.
Anyway, since I built a second version, I simply don’t need two adapters. That is why I have decided to sell this unit WITH the Canon F1.4 50mm lens that works so well with these projects. You will get the adapter and the Canon FD lens and a rubber lens hood for $250 plus S/H. It will be sold to the first serious reply I get. U.S. funds only. And sorry I dont accept paypal: check or money order.
Before people start messaging me about buying it- please be aware of a few things first: this unit was made for the DVX100A or 100B. The original 100 cant focus close enough to work properly, I am sorry. Also note that the unit is “calibrated” to work on the stock DVX lens threads without a UV protector. This means you need to remove your UV lens when using this adapter.
This was done because different UV protectors have different thread lengths. Hoya, Tiffen, Schneider; they all have different lengths, so that when the adapter is screwed on the focusing screen can be slightly off angle. You of course can keep your UV lens on and attach the adapter, then open it up and re-adjust the focusing screen to be level with the DVX’s frame. But that adjustment would have to be done by you.
And yes you need to flip the image in post, as it is recorded upside down. Also keep in mind that this started out as a prototype- so there are some very slight blemishes and seams visible. Nothing that affects the operation, but it was made by hand after all
Below you will find a link to some still frames from a recent video test I shot with the adapter. These are raw frame grabs from Vegas (after flipping it right-side up). No other adjustments were made to the video. You will also find a link to the video (48 mb). Its nothing special, just some scenes from work, both outdoors and in-doors.
I love this adapter as it was my first, and many long hours were spent over it refining the design. But I simply don’t need two of them. Thanks for checking it out and to those of you still working on your own- keep up the good work, it will be worth it. Ed
