If you are going to be using Canon EOS 35mm photo lenses, then this will do the job for you: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/146134-REG/Canon_3162A002_EF_Adapter_XL_for.html

You should clarify whether you mean 35mm adapter as in "35mm DOF adapter" or simply the mount that lets you use 35mm lense, cause there's a big difference. The mount that mikko listed simply let you attach EOS 35mm lense on the camera, but because the chip size on the XL1 is so small, there is a crop factor of roughly 8 on the lense, so a 50mm will become ~400mm for example. WIth a DOF adapter there is no such limitation, but then you'll need to go into the 35mm section of this forum to do some reading, because it's a lot more complicated than just slapping on a single lense mount.
