I'm considering buying an Letus extreme adapter with the Nikon mount. I shoot on a DVX100a.
I haven’t found a starter kit for dvx100 but only for HVX200, does it work for me?
I suppose that the achromat lens of the HVX 200 kit will not fit on dvx100a because of the different size of the rings, right? I need an achromat lens with the adapter for my dvx?
Where I can find one, if I will buy a used adapter without the achromat lens?
Thanks!
 
Thanks Maranfilms!, I find that, [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Marumi Digital High Grade (DHG) Achromat Macro Lenses
are available in 2 magnifications: 330(+3) and 200(+5), which one is the best choice?
Also, i m trying google a tutorial (video?) about setting the adapter on dvx, i cant find anything,
any suggestion?

Setting up an adapter to your DVX isn't that much different from setting it up on, lets say, an HVX... It's the same procedure; Attach the adapter to the camera/achromat, adjust the rods, zoom in your camera on the groundglass past all vignetting and other unwanted stuff visible inside the adapter. Set the backfocus by aiming the adapter without any lens infront against a bright light and adjust the cameras' focus so that you see as much grain of the groundglass as possible. Set a piece of tape over the zoom and focus ring, and you're done!

PM me if you need more advice =)
 
Thank you very much for this very interesting website. But the price seems incredibly low, is there everything I need to shoot with my DVX and a 35mm ??? Don't I need something to mount the lense ? Because the "You just need your camcorder, attach the adapter and start shooting." for only 250 bucks whereas the price is ususally more 1200 $ makes me really wonder. Thanx for your answer.
