Hollywood 35mm adapter ?

Never seen it. Looks a lot like the original Letus 35. I'd stay away until you see more footage from different cameras.
 
Considering how much the camera shakes when throwing the focus on a 50mm lens in their footage I would certainly stay away from it!
 
I bought one on ebay the price is a little cheaper than at the website. I was also concerned about the footage. They said is was shot in about 20min without any set up. I took a chance and bought one, the price is great, and the good news is so is the adapter. I have only doing some tests with it but so far so good. The footage looks pretty good, no vignetting, and the edges are sharp.
Hope that helps.

Hey dudes,

I actually went to the guy who makes the adapter's house here in Hollywood, and he let me test it out on my DVX. I was pleased with the image, and for the price-it simply can't be beat. The adapter is pretty portable and really doesn't require a support system to keep it up, the whole setup is clean and good to go.


The image is of course flipped, so you can either buy a flip-monitor, or jerry-rig your camera lcd like I plan on doing(you can find out easily how to do this, just search for it). I'm getting the adapter with my choice of the Nikon Non AI Mount on Thursday for $350. He makes them as they are ordered. I'll post some footage up as soon as I get it. Gotta get some lenses for it first, though.

Hope you guys found this useful.

-Jon

Both people that have apparently used this adapter have one post and just joined the forum. I would stay away.
 
I have a hollywood adapter, and I do not work with these guys. It is a good adapter for the price. Here is a link to a video that I did as a test. Just added music without any other editing. Just a video of me having fun with the adapter and family. http://www.vimeo.com/4032368 . I am not new to the forum, but don't post much. I have seen other adapters out there and this one does pretty good. I am not going to say it is the best I have seen, but for the price that you pay it is. Good luck.
 
Not sure if it was the intention of the video or not, but to me it looked like BAD vignetting and terrible edge to edge sharpness...
 
Yeah, i saw that as well. I was thinking about buying it because of its price (and it comes with a monitor) but now im a bit turned away : /
 
I don't want to seem like a hater or anything, but although I didn't notice any edge sharpness problems or vignetting. I also didn't notice any footage that looked like it was shot with a 35mm adapter. (although, it is hard to say for sure from the resolution of the footage).

Do you have any high res test footage with the adapter, showing the bokeh, edge to edge sharpness and vignetting or grain (or lack of)? As well as light performance? (ie. light loss)

Thanks
