While working on some new story ideas (yeah, you didn’t think I’ve been sitting here doing nothing have you?), I’ve been playing with the Red Rock Micro M2 35mm camera lens adapter for my DVX100 24p camera.

It’s truly a pain in the ass to use. Once business gets to where it should be, I’m still looking at a RED camera instead.

However, it gives an amazing image (assuming you know how to light a scene and don’t want to shoot in very low light). It’s probably not very useful for most basic video clients, but for the ones who want a real “movie look” it certainly does the trick. More later, as I get ready to use the M2 to shoot a short film for a friend in January. After that, well, let’s just say I have some ideas I’m working on. Ideas that I could not have done before now.

But this one’s gonna need a LOT of testing.
