Best Turnkey 35mm Adapter for FX1
Okay. I have messed around enough now with trying to devise my own 35mm adapter to know the problems and to know that I am behind the curve in technical competence to come up with my own version.
So, I am thinking I need a clean, ready to go set up for my FX1. I have a couple of Pentax K mount lenses, but I am willing go to other lenses depending on adapter's capabilities. I want to avoid to much more adapting, but this not being a paying profession for me, cost is also important. Anyone have a favorite for this camera ? |
Letus35 Flip is popular from what I hear. Someone who's used that should comment. But I recommend the Brevis (www.cinevate.com). Really, really well-built and a fantastic image. Practically nil light loss. I absolutely love the image I get with it and my FX1. It's as if the two belong together.

Ben, your link isn't working because the bracket is caught with the url.

Hello,
The SGpro Rev 2 offers a Pentax K mount is and ready for the FX1 and comes with 15mm rods support. You can view the latest FX1/SGpro footage in this thread: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=75262 |
That's true--the SG35 produces some absolutely fantastic images.

Chris,
I just got a Go35Pro for my HDR-FX1 and I am VERY pleased with it. I will be putting up some footage in the next few days. It looks great, and using the adapter was simple and I've found it to be very well constructed. I picked it not just because of the price, but the footage shot by Timur is very warm and fitting of the type of look I go for with political spots. |

Follow up. Okay, now I remember... Lafferty static. I would be curious to see your footage !!! |

No Pentax K mount at the moment -- Nikon F only, with the Go35Pro. However, with the money you'd save on the Go35Pro, you could turn around and invest that in glass. Nikon 50mm f/1.8 manual lenses start at $65, for instance. You could then purchase the Go35Pro, a 50mm lens, and rods for less than the cost of an M2 (for instance).
I'll have some more full res footage up tomorrow likely -- between it and Marty Martin's work, you get to see how the adapter really performs. |

Can you PM me with info, and/or information, documentation, and/or pics of your product, or location of same on net. |
Email sent. Look for some new footage on this board later :)

If I were out for a 35mm DOF adapter my pick would sure be the Sgpro, specially that you have a Z1. The Sgpro seems to work specially well with the Sony camera. I was blown away by the clips Wayne posted not long ago using the Z1 with the Sgpro. Very sharp images and a fantastic bokeh, the nicest from all adapters, very filmic.
If the Sgpro offered PL mount I think I would finally jump on the 35mm DOF adapter bandwagon. |
Thanks for the kind words Michael.
Both the PL and OCT-19 mounts are machined and I will be releasing at the beginning of November. The SGpro Rev2 PL will be the most affordable PL mount bundle available, about $450 less then the competition. |

I feel that for HD a static adapter is not the way to go. No wonder the G35 people took their adapter back to the drawing board when HD cameras started to become common. For HD I would look at the M2, Brevis or Sgrpro. My preference would be the Sgpro for it’s sharpness and bokeh. |
