I don't think the north pole is on a direct route for UPS, you might be waiting a while.

LOL, funny you noticed that. I really live in Emeryville CA. Since most people dont know where that is, ill name drop. I live on the same street as pixar headquaters and steal their wifi from my condo. hehe
 
Beautiful footage Scharky.

I own the same Marshall monitor as you and I would not trade it for the world, it's a great piece of equipment and really necessary for HD in my opinion. The problem with shooting HD is that if the focus is even slightly off, it can seriously compromise the shot.

Besides, I wouldn't want to use a 35mm adapter on an HDV camera anyway as the moving ground glass makes the footage far more susceptible to MPEG artifacting. At least, the mini35 on the JVC caused it to go completely kaput on some scenes (not every scene of course, but some).

Havent seen this with the Canon A1 and m2 at all. Of course I am talking about two specific pieces of equipment here. Maybe with another 35mm adapter the result could be different. For reference I am using Canon FD lenses.

My first experience with it was with the HD100, and the ghosting was outrageous. I'll try it with a Sony and see what happens. I wish I still had the A1 here so I could try it with that too.
