For the record - this being an old post.
I've actually opened up the case. It's not that hard. If you've removed the 5 allen bolts the case will open up by gently pulling at the two halves (one...

I'd have to add that the reason I like owning "pro" or what I call "standard" gear is that I work with different crews from shoot to shoot. I myself want to be up on the tech, as well as I don't want...

Hold up a 35mm slice of film up to your XL1 CCD. That is the difference I believe you're going to get. It is less magnification than the EOS lens...

All great comments above.
You might play with over the shoulder shots, allowing the two characters to interact a little. These things are subtle but have a lot of impact. Of course I don't know...

Funny, Chris.
I like the bucket cap purely for practical reasons. It shadows my face and head with full 360 degree coverage, plus it's floppy and I can flip up the brim when I need to operate...

Cinegear Expo?
Anyone going? I'm there this Friday. I'll probably be wearing my ZGC/Canon DV bucket cap. Stop me if you see me, I have long hair.
Exciting... we'll be bringing back a Pro35 on this trip. Right on!

You need:
Adapter

I wouldn't bother with that. The glass doesn't spin so you won't be able to shoot usable footage with it. It's an expensive, high end director's "viewing glass". It is meant to be a tool for fairly...

Jim, cool set up.

If you're doing car to car shooting, you'll want some "shock absorbing" in your shooting, i.e. steadicam or a real soft ride (tow car).

In short, it's not a good idea to attach the PD150 to the mini35. I haven't tried it, but I have tried it on a DVX100. The results we got for the DVX100 where good, but not as clear and great as the...
