35mm Adapter at DVinfo.net

I can't wait to try out a 35mm adapter with this camera. The thread is 37mm so I guess you need a 37mm-58mm step up ring. I think it's great.

37 to something and something to 72mm if you use the Redrock M2 for instance... it is 72mm.

You know something else?

As owner of a Redrock M2 adapter, it would be easy to mount this small camera "upside down" to correct for the fact that when you shoot with the adapter the viewfinder image is upside down due to SLR lens "optics" - so maybe shooting with this baby and an adapter - mounted upside down - will be amazing!

cheers!

Yeah never thought of that. Only problem is it's not really for movie making per se is it? I mean no mic 60i. etc. However if the resolution is good enough then i suppose you could de-interlace to 24p colour correct and record the sound seperatly to synch in post. But what's the point of that, might as well get the new A1 coming out.
