Hi all, just got the SGpro and its pretty awesome.
After searching these forums, and the SGpro forums, I still haven't found a solid answer.
1. Where exactly does the achromat go? It seems odd to me that i just have to shove it in to the back end of the adapter. How can the sgpro be precise if you just push the achromat in at random?
2. When I look through the adapter with a nikon 28mm lens, the center of the image is blown out, where as the edges are darker. This is not vignetting, I definitly have zoomed enough to get rid of it. What could this be? Is this a side effect of me not placing the achromat exactly correct?
3. My focus settings for the DVX100 is MF33. Is this correct? What is your guys' set at?

God i know all these questions have been asked before so thanks for your patience and time. I really hope this can get resolved quickly.
 
it should look something liek this:

The part that screws in to the camera is the back end of the achromat. the achromat should be on the end of the tube furthest from the GG assembly. yes teh edges are going to be darker, you should be zooming into something like Z60-Z80 depending on the camera. the image should fil the DVX/HVX/Z1 sreen.

theres a setup guide on the SGpro website, under the "forum section". www.sgpro.co.uk
