This is an old post but just wanted to mention that the above fix also fixes a perpetual rendering problem in Premiere CC, where a clip never finishes rendering.

I have not. I’ve seen the redrock stuff at NAB and was very impressed. However, when I tried to call their salespeople they stated that they are an internet based company, and that I should just go to the site, pick what I wanted, and order it. When I tried to get into some detail as to what the best group of products might be, they once again told me to go to the website and pick out what I wanted.
I am a professional videographer but there is still A LOT about adapters and lenses I don’t know. This aspect is new to me because I have shot exclusively with the stock ENG lenses and only now am stepping out into the broader, 35mm adaption for these cameras. The lady I talked to at Redrock seemed almost irritated that I didn’t know exactly what I wanted (needed) and that I was wasting her time. The reason I called was to get help from them, but as they are an “Internet Company” (her words), there is no structure to help me build my lens adaption package. I wanted to buy the full package from them, including matte box, follow focus, rails etc. but was so turned of by the phone call I have not considered them since. I am always amazed out how some salespeople can be, especially when the customer has money in hand. I don’t know, maybe she was just having a bad day, or was losing at solitaire or something.
Yet I digress. Anyway, I have read great reviews about the Letus from Phillip Bloom and others so have chosen that route.
My main question still stands. I am assuming that I can use the Nikon autofocus lens manually. They are the only ones that I can find at BH Photo that match Olaf’s specs. Any help on this?

So I am ready to purchase. I am going with the letus adapter with nikon lenses to start. Went to BH Photo and realized I don’t know the answer to a stupid question. Can I get autofocus lenses and use them manually? My assumption is yes but I wanted to make sure. The only lenses that fit the descriptions above such as 50mm f1.4 are autofocus lenses.

Thanks Joe and Olof, you’ve got me off in a good direction.

Thanks Olof. As far as the camera goes, I already have 2 ex3s that I want to add accessories onto.
These are great suggestions. I’ll look into each of them.
This multiplier factor that you are talking about. How can I learn more about how it works?

When I wrote dop above I meant dof.
