Question Correction : aux lens adaption for video camcorders

Greetings I'm still following the thread items. Still working on the lens adapter mechanics and mounting hardware. Video capture system dead!! . I experiment too much some times.
Also lost contact with Paul Martin who had contacted me via email, any one else here or know of him?.
Regards
 
hmm, dont know paul martin so I cant help you there. Glad to hear your still working on this. So does this operate in a similiar manner to what Luis linked to from JVC? Just curious, without the ground glass the physics seems to be way over my head. Or at least more involved than I care to even try and figure out. Good luck! Whats your location? Perhaps a fellow dvxuser can assist in video capping if you need it.
 
Greetings Jeff,
The lens adapter and all of the components is simular in regards to using the image relay principle with optics. My system was originally designed so i could use 35mm and larger format camera lenses in front of a standard consumer camcorder without altering the camcorder. I wanted extreem telephoto capabilities with the sharpest image i could get with out spending a fortune.
The capability of my lens configuration allows me to use a standard 35mm 50mm or larger lens ((note here)) (using a lower mm lens through 55mm lens gives me a video image very close to what you get in 35mm still framing) in front of my sony camcorder and have to my estimation full focus imaging without loosing depth of field or. In other words i can keep my subject in focus with either the back and or forground out of focus while tracking. Using the lens adapter in the manner and for your and others purposes wasn't even thought of in my original design application.
I was and have been told by knowledgable people that the principle used by manufactures and designers was quite complex. The JVC and other engineered lens systems all give you a high quality image for the purpose it was designed for a hefty price, the only drawback being for my use would be the upside down and reversed image.This is too much for me. Again my system is for the consumer designed camcorders. If a person has the finances to purchase a high end camcorder with lens changabilities, that is the way to go. If you do a patent search you will find some complex systems for this purpose of video imaging and expensive. I live in Mesa AZ and would like contact, Better yet contact by email. Please be advised though my lens adaption system is confidential material, as you can see i will discuss it but i'm not ready to tell how it's all put to gether and what all of the components are comprised of. Thinking of a marketable item.
Regards
Bill

Greetings,
Please , use comonsense with a question of this nature here!. I have developed and designed various tools for the electronic industry of which I'm employed by. I also have given the same with out any monetary return and gladly will continue to contribute this way. The idea of maybe marketing this item stems from seeing the already manufactured adapter systems of which led me to this site.
Others have actually received my system free and used it successfully in their line of work. My only stipulation was a confidentiality agreement. If i do market this system, it will be due to the fact i would not like being a part of anything which would undermine anyone Else's product to the point of ruining a business venture. If you were marketing a lens adapter, would you rather have a competitor or have some one develop a product of equal capabilities and then just flood the market with freebie's. Who knows maybe some potential customers so inclined to be interested in my system in the near future, might be granted a permanent try one out for free. (you know: One to keep for ever. But there is never a free lunch!!!)
Regards
Bill
 
Kind of negates the purpose of a DIY thread...I don't know. I've seen so many people market instead of share their DIY...just personal opinion. Good luck and much success with your adapter.
