Dude, you rock. Thanks for keeping such a great site alive all these years. I still love my XL2.

By the way, what is your favorite uprez software or technique to turn XL2 SD into HD (pseudo-HD)?

no preset files any more

Yep, tapes can be quite different. Sony tape's lube has been the worst at gunking up the heads and causing the wonderful "venetian blinds" effect all too often.

I had the VZ rock, but it was not consistent enough, so I traded it in for VZ Pro-L controller, which is perfect.

I went with the XL2 for the lens options and the 16:9 native stuff.

However I find that I made the right choice for other reasons. The DVX seems too "poppy" out of the box and the colors look...

It's not that bad. I've done it a bunch.

It's worth a few hassles to have the wider view than the 0.7x model.

Novoflex makes several adaptors.

Some go from Nikon to EOS (Canon), Hasselblad to EOS, Olympus to EOS, etc.
