I'm needing to rent, hire (dry/wet) any 35mm adaptor with lenses for my HVX.
I've got the record company breathing down my back and need to shoot asap.
If any knows where I can rent an adaptor, private or pro please give me a shout asap. steadiworkz@mac.com or 07765852624.

Cheers

Hi Matt

Apart from the P&S technik the only other 35mm adaptor you can rent as far as I know is the Movietube at south london filters.

I have suggested to Wayne Kinney of SGPro fame to make half a dozen and buy some prime lenses for them for rental purposes as I am sure there is a huge potential rental market out there for them!

Good luck!

Hey Phill,
yeah I knew about the P&S and movietube, probably going with the P&S as they have a half price rental at the moment.
I'm dam sure their is a massive rental potentiol for 35mm adaptors, perhaps we should start hording them all up !

Make sure you have some powerful lights for the P&S technik!!!

You are right, I am damn tempted to buy a couple of Redrock M2s for rental. The only problem with that is the setup is hard and fiddly for someone with no experience with them...then there are the lenses!!!

I've herd the brevis is easy to setup if only they were easy to get hold of.
I know the pro35 is a light hog but never used the mini before, how many stops does it eat ?
