    Hi!

    Two questions:

    1) Can you use a Firestore with the EX3?

    2) Can you mount a 35mm lens adapter (mini35, letus, brevis, etc….) straight onto the body of an EX3?

    Cheers.

    Mark,
    The portable hard drive that can be used with the SxS format is the Sony PHU-60K. It is a 60Gb hard drive.

    I don’t know that you can attach a 35mm adapter to the body of the EX-3 but you can get the 77mm adapter and attach one to the end of the lens, same as you would on an EX-1.

    Hey Scott,

    Thanks for your reply.

    The PHU-60k is indeed what I was looking for.

    Regarding the 35mm adapter connecting straight to the body of the EX3, I got that idea after finding this in vimeo:

    And was answered in an article I found when I went to look for info on the PHU-60K.

    Apparently Letus is creating a 35mm adapter to fit straight onto the body of the EX3. You can read the artilce here:

    Thanks again.
