Hi Aaron, Todd has a special Panavision: “…I have a nice set of superspeed primes, and three of them (35mm, 50mm, 80mm) actually started life as Leitz (Leica) still camera lenses. They were rehoused by Panavision so…”Hi Todd, still hesitating, I would rather go “clean” if added bells(low end adapters) don’t sound nice enough. If we shoot with Leica, we know what that mean.
The new Sony EX1, 1/2 imager, true 1920×1080, Fujinon manual lens, some claim it is comparable to some $$K big cameras… it is not a “video Leica” by all means, but at this price range(under 7K), I would be more than confident to use it for my no budget film, still, story is the king.
Thanks all and have a great happy new year, and a prosperous 2008!

I’ve heard of it, never used it. All I know is that it is extremely inexpensive… I believe along the lines of the Brevis or Letus, maybe even less. I’m not discounting it (and would be interested in trying one, if one were available), but I’ll go back to saying that with these gadgets you generally get what you pay for. Maybe it is the exception to the rule.
