My god, that got me thinking instantly, and now I'm using dual intake and nitrous oxide on my 35mm adapter. It's a major bitch to focus but I tell ya, I now have the fastest imaging device on the planet. Thanks guys!

LOL....
fastest as in f/T stops or speed as AF?
That was a good one Steev.
>>>>>>
I'm using dual intake and nitrous oxide<<<<<<<
If the exhaust is white/light grey, that means it does not burn oil at all, so... is good. LOL

I didn't read the whole tread, but one thing I don't get.
The 27th ring, unless the 13th is part of the 12th, because than it would be the 26th ring, and maybe the ring nr. 23 and nr. 24 are one, so it means that ring 27 is 25 when 12 and 13 are also one ring, otherwise 26...what is it. I mean the cilinder shaped part right after the 3 rings before the ground glass, so if you count from the camera, it would be part 89 (unless you don't count the mount on the back, I mean 88)
That part, is it a magnifying glass?

I ask, because maybe this will solve all my problems.

Steev Dinkins · February 12th, 2005, 08:14 PM

In fact, or reality, or strong-as-nails-opinion, or good-enough-until-embarrasingly-refuted, the 88th (not including the back), is easier equated as the sum of conjugation of the combined efforts hereforeto herein optical jibby jabb jabb thingamadoos compounded upon integrated parts that comes out to approximately 5. Now that 5 is much harder to brain wrap since the aforementioned jibby jabb jabbs are like a million crawling insects under the porch rug of the optical chain. It took me 8 escalating versions of monumental invention, 26 visits to my psychotherapist, $6589.43 USD, and it came down to this:

I took a hammer to it, bought 120 DVDs of the greatest movies ever produced in the history of human kind, and sat in my recliner with remote control in hand, and huge ass plasma TV in front of my face. The image quality and DOF is everything I've been searching for, and I don't even have to pick up a camera, write a script, badger my friends to be crew, or wade through hordes of horrible wanna be actors, or anything.

i do not agree with you Steev,

much better is to buy a whole CHAIN of biggest hollywood movie theaters and THEN to watch DOF!!!!
the collection of 120 greatest movies should be the same. with this i can agree.

p.s.

don't you think that our answers are much less funny (including this one) then the original - first one - the starter of the thread?

Oscar Spierenburg · February 16th, 2005, 07:35 PM

People, I looked again at the adapter and I think I found the main difference between our normal adapters and the Steev Dinkins device. Look closely at the last ring, just near the end. I think it's a DVD. I think he's watching DVD's through this thing.

Leo Mandy · February 16th, 2005, 07:58 PM

Wow is all I can say. That footage looks great. You are really bringing this 35mm X 2 thing up a notch, Oscar!

Steev Dinkins · February 17th, 2005, 12:24 PM

All is now one big blur.

Just came across this clip and downloaded it. Is it supposed to have audio? It plays silent, and I don't see any audio track when I open it in Vegas. Looks interesting though. :)
