i was on the site today, i saw that you can get a bundle for 995.00. I was just wondering if anyone knows does that come with everything you need. Does it come with the lens too?
 
Depends on what is good for you and the availabilty. Nikons seem very popular with users due to the price and alot of them being fully manual. Try to steer away from the newer canon eos lenses as changing the fstop requires you to remove the lens from the m2. There's a section on redrock's website regarding 35mm lenses probably a good place to start. Also you need to get the right mount for what type of lens you want put on the m2.
 
so if you buy a 35mm adapter, say the letus35, you cant just screw it onto your camera. you need to buy another lens first. now im totally confused. so it costs more than 500 bucks for the adapter in reality.
 
It is a 35mm lens adapter for you to put 35mm lenses on.
There are all kind of 35mm lenses.

as previously stated, many people buy manual nikon. preferably ones with really low fstops(all below 2.8). This is more acheivable with a prime lens (a lens you can't zoom on). it is set to one focal length. If you do go with primes you should invest in a set of primes if different focal lengths. You can get zooms but they are usually slower(higher fstops) and not as crisp. The problem with slow lenses is that unless you are in sunlight you're going to have to light the crap out of your scene for it to show up.

hope this helped a bit.
 
Something else to remember, is that SLR lenses do not maintain framing when you change the focal plane, that is, as your focus shifts, your actual field-of-view will either slightly expand, or slightly contract, as if your rack-focus is accompanied by a simultaneous tiny little zoom in or out. Cinema lenses are designed to change focal settings without the field-of-view shift, but for still cameras the extra engineering isn't needed and the extra expense is left out by the manufacturers.

If that little shift is unacceptable to you, get an adaptor that lets you use cinema lenses, instead of the SLR variety.
 
Deckard-
I have the redrock indie bundle and love it. It is true you have to buy lenses separately but not that big of a deal thanks to ebay. I recommend the lowest f nikon 50mm you can get your hands on first. Followed by a 85mm and 35mm and a 28 0r 24mm. it can get expensive so bye used. hope this helps.
 
Hello,

Does the dvx100 with the micro35 footage match up with the stand alone dvx100 footage. Doed the grain disk in the micro35 make the two footages night and day.

Thanks
