I shot a bridal video with a homemade 35mm adapter on a GL-2. It's a big file, but it gives you an idea. It can be found here: www.ov35.com

Mike? Do you want to fill in some more detail in the construction and operation of that beast? I'm very interested in just exactly what you connected together?
Best regards Grazie |

Yea, that looks good...
I started assembling my own 35mm adapter, it's done, besides that I'm having a hard time finding a macro lens to focus on the ground glass. So I haven't been able to even test it yet with my camera. What focusing lens did you use for your adapter? |

On the website in my signature the "One Headlight" video was shot on a GL2 with a homemade 35mm adapter. It was a great camera, but I've since upgraded to an FX1.

Nice, that looked awesome... What did you build it out of, or, what did you use for your focusing lens?

After I had determined the proper length I would need (had to use two tubes to accommodate the optical elements) I mounted an achromat at the end closest to the camcorder lens. Then I placed a Nikon D screen in between two UV filters (to help eliminate dust on the screen itself) and mounted that at the proper distance from the f-mount. That's about it. If you'd like some more details I can show you where I got my components. Total cost (without any 35mm lenses) was about $120 or $150, somewhere in there. I would also like to point out that Ben has quite a bit more experience in this than I do, so he is an incredible resource to tap as well. I'll help where I can, but there are others that know far more than I do.
