This is a little spot we shot two weeks ago with a hd110e and the redrock micro m2 adapter. Everything was shot with a Nikkor 50mm lens at varying apertures.
We used this shoot to try out a lot of new equipment, it was our first shot with a 35mm adapter, and we used the firestore harddisk and a crane as well.
The adapter worked out pretty well, apart from the need to re-focus the stock lens every few takes or so (we taped everything with gaffa, but the slightest touch in the wrong position and everything goes out of alignment). I also think backfocus of the slr lens wasnīt quite right.
The harddisk was nice, but for some reason I wasnīt able to get it to capture 25p, it also didnīt synchronise with the camera very well (so we ended up capturing the tape in the end). Once the disk worked, it worked perfectly.
hereīs the spot:

(some of the footage in-between was shot with a canon xl1 and sony pd150, not our footage)
hereīs a few photos from the shoot:

All in all it went pretty well, even if a lot of minor things bother me in the end. And as usual thanks to Paolos truecolor3 settings.
Would love to hear your comments.
