Can 5D2 30p turn into decent 24p? You be the judge...

I'm not sure about Barlow, but we bought a Fotodiox Pro from ebay, and are happy with the results. The mounting surfaces are metal, and there is a retention mechanism, so the Nikon lens won't rotate off. It was recommended by somebody who claimed to try out a number of adapters, and I'm happy with the purchase.

Hello Jon,

Michael Schoenfeld here,

Barlow and I are using the Fotodiox adapter on three of the four Nikon mount lenses we are using with the 5DMKII - the other one is from Cameraquest (the owner Stephen Gandy is a little "Unique", to say the least).

I just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work to "hack" the settings for manual control!

Barlow and I are trying to do our part to help out - he is quite the analytical mind, as are you.

Thanks again,

Michael Schoenfeld

Thanks, Michael,

BTW, nice photos on your site. Portfolios One and Two are especially compelling.

Josh,
In case it is useful to you, Shake was just updated a few weeks back to 4.1.1 - seems there is still life in there and it suggest that there may be a full update at some point soon?
Nick.

trying to view the clip, but it's asking for a password.

i am on a quest to find some sort of workflow for a 24P solution for the 5dmkII. my goal is to shoot my next feature film completely with the 5dmkII, we'll see what comes first... a firmware update or decent workarounds or the scarlet.
