My post is directed only to the M-2 device as I don’t have any experience with other 35mm lens adapters. There is something about the Sony/Fujinon lens as it has trouble focusing in macro on such a small plain. As you said the Letus may be a better choice, but I have the EX3 and the Fujinon 2/3 lens adapter together with the Fujinon XA17x7.6BERM 17x 2/3″ and it is really nice. What kills me is that Red Rock Micro rep at NAB knew about the issues with the EX series and sold it to me anyway, then he became way to busy when I needed his help. The latch from the M-2 case broke while I opened it for the first time and not one customer rep even offered to replace it.

Good Luck

I purchased this M-2 at NAB this year and the Red Rock Micro team knew it had issues with the Sony EX1 that I told them I was purchasing it for. This was a nightmare and I ended up sending it back. I wouldn’t recommend anyone with a Sony EX series camera to purchase this device, and the customer service is positively the worst of any company I have dealt with.

What camera will be used to shoot with? If this is for broadcast it will most likely end up 60i, but you can shoot progressive in any format you choose.

I would think you will never use the 36 foot width with only a 9 foot ceiling.

You can light your subject in any look you desire, however a rim or back light can help you key out the back ground later. The biggest mistake you can make is to over light the green screen and have that light bouncing back onto your subject as this will make it very difficult to key, so separate the subject far enough away from the green screen and control the light level on the green screen to a stop below the subjects key light and you should be good.
