Hey Quyen, my mistake. By the looks of your site, you've been busy & got it done already! Great job, and for less than I thought it'd be.
Ryan or I will have to get over there soon to check it out. Looks like there may be a 35mm adapter shoot out here pretty soon between the Letus35, My35, and hopefully G35 and/or Micro35.

all ready done- I checked it out and it looks good. It is GREAT to not have to do everything backwards. With any of the adapters that do not flip the image using the magnet trick works, but everything is still backwards right to left. (Or is that left to right ...) So it takes a little bit to get used to the backwards display.
Quyen's new adapter- Letus35 Flip- takes care of all of this and makes it all a lot easier to use, and the footage is nice as well. I'm not sure about the support system tho - as the adapter is now in an "s" shape (See below) so it "hangs" below the camera some. I did not have my rails on hand, or I couldn't tell you if the rails still fit for added support like we did on set (See Envisions pic of my camera above).
Envision & I would love to do a comparison if people are willing .... Mike? Quyen?

Mike, I sent you a PM last night/early this AM. I've got Jarred's blessing to do a review/article with a 35 Shoot out. He's even apparently paved the road ahead of me letting the other companies know I'll be contacting them.
Since it appears that the My35 and Letus35 may be the closest competition, or at least of most interest in this thread, I'd like to get the ball rolling with you before contacting the others. Shoot me back a response in the PM of how you'd like to handle this, or if you simply need an address to ship a unit to.
As soon as I hear from you, I'll contact the others in the lower price market as well (Micro35, G35, etc.). As we're in the middle of post for our Sci-Fi short, we'll likely not be able to start anything for about 2 weeks, but would take an entire day to compare all the models with the same shots, lighting, lens, etc. & get an article up within a week or two after that.

Yep, we'll do it right, that's for sure! It should be fun and interesting to compare them.

A Proper Compare -
A Proper Compare -
If you really want to do a proper compare you'll need the (a)letus (all types), (b)my35, (c) sg35 (the english guy), (d)the cinemek or guerilla 35 (production model), (e) the redrock, (f) the indie35, (g)all the p+s technik models (there are a million variations of this) and (h) all the others (there a probably at least ten I haven't heard of)
Good luck getting d,e,f,and the g's for free or even getting to see d in the next six months. But, if you do, score, man!
Let's not short-sell the difficulty of this idea - this is a quest of grail-like proportions. It is quite possible that it would never actually be accomplished -
Good Luck to you sir!

Our interest is in reviewing at least three models. If there are more that can be compared, great. When most companies pay to have their models reviewed, tested, etc. to think that anyone would charge for it would automatically put them out of the consideration & article ... so I don't believe that will be a concern.
Reveiwing the P+S would be a huge waste of time for two major reasons: 1) Jarred's already done an in-depth article on it. 2) It's no where near the same league as the others. Since it's out of most user's budget, there's be no real benefit to do a side-by-side comparison, unless it was to try and show how the other adapters are NEARLY as good for 1/10th the price ... something I don't think P+S would be interested in supporting.
I've already contacted all of the above makers, with the exception of the P+S, via PM (members of DVXuser) or e-mail. Have already heard back from two who are interested & willing to participate. We own the Letus35, and if Quyen would like his Flip model reviewed he's in the same town, so it'd be easy to do.

As of right now Norm and I are planning on not doing the p+s technic for two reasons, one- it is out of most of our price ranges, and two- Jarred has already done a great job on a review.
We will be able to get the Letus35, My35, and Norm is working on the redrock and g35. I'm not sure I've heard of or seen the indie35 or sg35. I'll look into those ...

The "Indie 35" is here:
http://indie35.com/
The cinemek guys are slagging it a lot over at their forum.. I haven't looked at the site much but it seems to be a developed product. I think it should be included in any worthwhile article.
You can just search DVXuser for the sg35 - it's some english guy whose making it.. it's a spinning adapter I think. he sells them for like 400 shillings or silver coins or something English like that.
But those are two definite players in the low budget adapter wars..
C'mon.. get comprehensive on this mo-fo.

They were making fun of the silver wire wrapped around it.
Ouch.

Here's some stuff about the "SG35" by Wayne Kinney
Sorry, I just cutnpaste this>>>>
Sorry guys, but I've been very busy with work(the one that pay the bills). any way let tell you what's happening.
my 35 mm adapter is the only DIY adapter that doesn't have the image up side down, I did some test footage and realised that there was a problem. The bright part of the images are distorted(kind of rainbow effect) and also I was loosing quite a bit of light. So the result is it works but it's not good enough so I decided to let others do the job and concentrate on my own stuff.. I'm going to purchase the SG35 this week end it's a very good 35mm adapter equivalent to the micro35 but much cheaper. £200 $350. it's sold with everything I need and the rod system.
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/wayne.kinney/sg35.htm
the image will be upside down but I'm gonna get an lcd monitor where I can reverse the image.
Wayne Kinney, the guy that build the SG35 ship everywhere in the world and I think there is 2 to 3 weeks waiting between payment and delivery.
he can be contacted at: waynekinney@hotmail.com
This week end we are going to shoot few things in brighton (south england) and we will post footage of the FX1E with the SG35...
>>>> Again, Kinney does seem to be a prominent player in the low budgie adapter market.

I've just found the ultimate 35mm adapter.
I don't know what it's called, but I'm calling it the "moo35"
It's out of this world. It's left-field. It's lowtech down and dirty guerilla style. It's got 'angles'

Oh yeah, that's just nothing but sex appeal right there. Actually, I've seen it before ... in the BTS for the film it was used in ... I believe in the UK some place, but looking at it you can tell it was obviously a DIY for that one project ... not something that's going to be mass produced for too many reasons to list.
