Don’t know how to Quote.
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!

P.S.: Anyone heard of SGPro, also a lens adapter, from UK, one user claimed it is better than all the rest, even P+S.

Hi Todd, I can only dream for my Leica lens.
I may want to use one of the lens adapter for my still on the way Sony EX1, it is 1/2 imager, and 77mm mount, don’t know which one will match it best.

cheers,

Thanks Todd! That explained all!

I guess I have to go for a homemade, with the Achilles heel of rear focus or whatever, as long as it holds the picture quality at some level. Was thinking of using my Leica lens, but none offer a mount for a Leica M lens.

Hope the distributor will pay for the film print, if that day comes!

Cheers!
