Hi guys thanks for the responses. I think im going to try and get a DOF adaptor or make one, a guy named twoneil is making them at the moment check them out: https://www.hv20.com/showthread.php?t=2825&highlight=twoneil+adapter
i should be able to easily fit one onto my Sony HC-9
anyway, i just want to know when you guys say to open up the iris all the way would this be the same as maxing out the exposure on my camera? i cant find any f stop controls on it but it has a manual focus.
thanks for the help
