Is it just me, or do we need a seperate forum for
35mm adapters?

DIY or otherwise...Put 'em all in there together.

Just a thought,

I'd like to at least see some kind of roundup of what adapters are available - whether they be retail, custom-made, or just plans. A lot of the posts on the threads are cumbersome to go through....30 pages of "Looks nice! Will you build me one? How much?"
 
MAN DO I EVER AGREE!!!!!!

That would be great. Tired of fishing through dolly and mattebox threads.

I completely agree with everyone else that this is a great idea. In fact it should be set up simple, discussion of commercially available 35mm adapters (whether they be things like the Letus, G35, SG35, or even some guy just making them himself as a DIY for sale) and a second one for straight 'look at what I made' DIY.

The problem with the 35mm adapter thing is that there are all these versions available and yet you can't just compare them all and figure out which is the best to buy...

I've lost hair because of these things...
 
the most common seem to be 35mm adapters, jibs, dollys, and matte boxes, these could be the categories and then miscl...?
 
I'm definitely in agreement that there should be a separate forum for 35mm adapters. And I like Yankee's idea that there be a separation of commercially made adapters and single, made at home adapters.
 
I hope the "powers that be" are tuned in.
Maybe soon we can skip over all the DIY dolly projects
and easily sift through the hottest topic going...

The new server search function is making this very
difficult as of late.

P.S. Just ordered my Letus35 Flip on Monday.
Will post some "non-rack focusing" footage soon!
 
I think a 35mm adapter sub forum category is is a good idea not jus tto gather all the 35mm adapter info but also to help navigate through other DIY topics. Its frustrating to sort through the 35mm adpter stuff to find some other new intresting projects
 
Is it really necessary for one more person to voice their approval of this idea? Of course it is.*

*Consider this me voicing my approval of this idea.
 
I just posted this in a hardware thread, started by Yankee, but I'll state a similar rendition here ...

Waltind and I will be doing a shoot-out on February 25th (Saturday) between at LEAST three of these 35mm adapters; Letus35 (by default, I own it - up to the manufacturer if he wants to provide the latest/greatest model), the SG35 (Wayne's shipping it from the U.K.), and the My35 (Mike Dawson's I believe - will be shipping from Canada).

In addition to these, and any other manufacturers that see benefit in participating and are able to with commercially ready units available for sale by the beginning of March, we'll be testing/featuring the following:
Dakotapod's new matte box that will work specifically with the 35 adapters/lens
Indie Focus' geared follow focus, specifically for use with the 35 adapters/lens
Any other sub $500 tools we can dig up that will compliment the 35 adapters

We'll be shooting resolution charts, rack focusing on various objects, live model(s) with dramatic lighting, and if the weather's good, take 'em outside as that's where WE'VE personally seen issues with the Letus35 when shooting with sunlight.

Our goal is that this is as informative & beneficial for all. Obviously, we're curious to see what the best value for the money is as well, and will post all of our findings (pros & cons of each unit) in an article that Jarred's agreed to post.
 
I don't think it's a good Idea.

(just to make BC happy)

I'm praticing to be married one day... Yes honey ... no.... that dress actually makes your butt look smaller .... I really hate the Man Show .....
