A PV-DV702 is a nice little cam. They're cheap right now. Call Leo's on Granville for pricing. Another nice 1 chip cam is the TRV25 (and TRV27). These are last year's models, and have dropped in price. Also try A&B Sound on Seymour & Pender.

Hey Thomas, why don't you just buy the focus puller from Cavision? How much do they charge for it?

Keep an eye on the buy and sell. I've seen GL1's pop up there, although the cheapest has bee $1900cdn.

That big pawn shop in downtown New West usually has used cams. A friend of mine, bought a GL1 there at a good price, which included lots of extras. That was a couple of years back.

Thomas,
Are you set on the 16x servo? Have you considered the 14x? It doesn't have the servo zoom and would require rods for a matte box. But optically it's pretty much the equivalent of the 16x for all practical purposes and many prefer it's fully-manual iris ring. I have one for sale if you're interested. -Ken- |

Yeah, the 14x manual lens is a WAY better bang for the buck than the 16x lens, if you have the matte box set up with rods allready.
PS I can vouch for Ken's honesty as a seller. Bought a couple expensive toys (including an XL1) from him already and have always been happy!

Dylan,
I was wondering why you think that the 14x is 'WAY' better than the 16x Manual? I have read Ken's article about them, and it seems that they are both excellent in terms of quality of optics. The 16x has more features which is why it is priced differently, I guess.

I didn't say it is way better. I said it was "way better bang for the buck". Big difference.
For the serious shooter who is really only interested in the manual functions, both lenses are excellent, as Ken states in his article. However after taxes, the 14x will leave you with an extra $700 or so in your pocket.

James,
Just to make sure that your request is precise, you're looking for an XL1/XL1s COLOR (LCD, FU-500) viewfinder, not a b&w (FU-1000) viewfinder, right?
