I have a DVX100a with about 400 hours on it (don't have it with me to check exact number). The LCD screen was damaged (business partner pushed too hard while cleaning) but otherwise the camera is in great shape. I've tried comparing this to other used DVX's on eBay and such to get a sense for...

I am selling a Marshall 4" LCD color monitor. It it similar to this model found here on B&H but it is slighter older. The specs are the same though. Resolution is 480x234 and is fine for framing but not really great if you want to use it for fine focusing. I'm including the following in the set...

Anyone interested in buying a Nikon D screen? I just discovered a box of them I had but never used. They're brand new, never opened. I used to build adapters but not anymore so I just want to sell these. I'll sell them for $35 even, shipping included. If anyone's interested just PM me.

Nevermind

Does anyone know how different the Pentax K-mount is from a Nikon F-mount? They seem to be very close in terms of where the tabs enter the mount and so forth. Has anyone tried attaching a K-mount lens to an F-mount? Just curious. Any help here would be great. I did search on this before posting...

I have a friend in England that is applying to be a DP with a production company there. They asked him a question via email that has him stumped. Frankly, so am I. What would be your response to the following question? If I were to tilt the camera 180 degrees and pull back from an object, what...

I'm selling my DVX-100A. School started today and funds are low. :( The camera is in great condition. I don't have the exact hours on hand right now but I will post them later tonight. Under 200 hours at most. Camera works perfectly, only one problem with it. The LCD screen is cracked. The...

I've got two Canon 500 close up lens filters that I don't need. They're brand new in the box. Selling them for $30 each, shipping included.

Hey folks. I've been out of the loop on the DIY board for a long time. Many people here have been so helpful and I appreciate the help they've given me. I finished an adapter several months ago. It's been really fun to use, but it's time to part with it. So I'm putting it up for sale for $200...

I have a Bescor MP101 motorized pan/tilt head. Here's a rather decent rundown of the specs. I've only used this two or three times and I just don't need it anymore. I bought it about six months ago when I first started doing weddings as I wanted smoother pans. But I don't use it so I thought it...

As the topic says, my LCD screen cracked last Friday. I was heartbroken, and still am. I'm sure this has happened to others. Any idea how much it costs to get it fixed? I've already put in inquiries to a service compay but I'm wondering how much anyone here has paid, just to get a ballpark on...

Get them here while you can.

Ok, I'm going to start building my adapter this week if some parts ever get here. Right now I am debating on how to work out the lens mount. I've decided to go with the Nikon f-mount (mainly because I have a Nikon SLR). I am deciding now between using an f-mount off an old parts camera on eBay...

A friend of mine recently bought a 0.5x wide angle lens for his GL2. The sales guy told him that the wider angle lens allowed more light to reach the CCDs and thus made a brighter picture. I have a 0.5x wide angle lens on my little Sony TRV19 and I see no brightness difference between when the...
