Thanks to everyone...from the audio section which I found the music and the mic recommendation of the rode ntg3 to the vintage lens thread where I found out about the beautiful helios 58mm. Dvx rocks.

It's easy. Just get an adapter from ebay. It's a nikon f to eos adapter. They work great. Really sharp lenses for a great price. They've been going up in price because I think the demand is more. People are using them on all types of cameras. I have the nikon 24mm 2.8 which is about a 50mm with the t2i sensor. For the closeups I used a helios 58mm. which is about an 85mm give or take. It's the 44-2 model. It's my favorite lens. It usually sells for about 50 bucks and then get a m42 to eos adapter off ebay as well. The adpaters are usually about 10 bucks and work fine. You have to manual focus but I usually manual focus anyways.

When you get the adapters just attach to your lens and leave them on your lens. So each lens needs its own adapter. Then you can buy some rear eos caps off ebay as well - they usually sell in sets of 5 or 10 for pretty cheap. Then you just put that back on the lens and put in your camera bag. When it's time, just line up the red dots on the adapter with your canon and then click into place. And when you're buying off ebay make sure it's from a valid seller with a good rating. Find out if the lens has no mold, no fungus, no scratches, smooth focus...

Hope this helps.
 
Fun video I liked it. I was looking at adapters today for videos and wanted to know more, so the 24mm wouldnt be wide enough since I already have the canon 1.8? I am just curious how it would be comparable to it. I really liked your video again!
