Re: DIY micro35 kit (New Footage!)
The pre-assembled units will come with the Macro, Rods, and the new GG (and probably a different mount).
But I urge you to get the guide now so you can check it all out. I'll be discounting the $45 for the guide for anyone that purchases the guide and then decides to buy the kit or assembled units. Some people have asked how they'll get moved up in the line for assembled units. The people that purchase the guides first and then buy the assembly will get priority.
Also, just got back from the glass shop, the new GGs are awesome!
Thanks!!

How should I preorder the guide? Respond to sales@micro35.com?
And do the kits come with the rods, etc. as well or just the assembled version?

You can pre-order the guide at:

The rails and macro wasn't initially part of the "Kit". But I'm trying to get them in without raising the price. The assembled version will come with both.
Thanks!

Re: DIY micro35 kit (New Footage!)
This is amazing. To date I've shot several music vids and a couple of commercials on the DVX/Mini35 rig. Ridiculously expensive. I'd rather spend the cash on primes. Speaking of which, will the adaptor work with S16 primes? I've got an A-Minima and would love to be able to use my lenses. If there's not enough image area/resolution, it's cool. Just wondering. Another thing I was thinking (daydreaming) about was combining the Micro35 idea with Juan's uncompressed tool. Combining those two items, losing the DVX glass altogether, and then repackaging them in a sleek boxy enclosure (make it look like a Range Rover ;D). So HOT. A good example of what the finished product might look like can be found here: http://catalog2.panasonic.com/webap...=S&surfModel=AK-HC900&surfCategory=HD Cameras Make it happen people!

Re: DIY micro35 kit (New Footage!)
I'm curious, and maybe some of the experts in this field like redrock, Barry Green, or Shaw can answer this one for me.
While the narrow DOF look is really beautiful, personally I would most benefit from being able to use telephoto still lenses...the one thing that is missing on the DVX. I'm assuming this is possible but what I'm trying to figure out is what the telephoto range equivalency is.
For instance, my wife has a 400mm EOS lens and I'm wondering what my focal length would be with the DVX zoomed in to max, with this adapter and the 400mm lens.

Disjecta-
That's not how this device works. The focal length of the "taking" lens (the 35mm lens) would not change. Well, perhaps slightly. As a whole however, it would not change significantly. This means that your current 400mm tele lens would remain a 400mm lens.

Re: DIY micro35 kit (New Footage!)
Not yet, I left a rig over at the glass place to let them use it to fit new ggs.
I ordered parts for two more devices for a shoot going on around here. I spent $37.00. That's just wrong.
How did I only spend $37 for two you ask? Some of the parts in the guide are re-usable!
I'm thinking about posting some footage on the micro35.com site to show the progress over the last couple of months..
