Secondly, I've been working on this DIY 35mm lens adapter contraption that will allow me to use Nikon SLR lenses on my video camera. If you're familiar with them you may also know them as Depth-of-Field adapters. If you're not sure what the hell this thing is for, the idea is to give you video more of a cinematic look and enable you to have a lot more control of the focus.
Anyhow... I took my adapter down to the trails a week or so ago to test it out and put together a really quick edit.


As you might notice, it's pretty soft around the edges. That's due to a cheap piece of ebay glass that I still need to replace.

I put together a quick and temporary rail mount system so I could do some testing with it. Hopefully by next week I'll have the better rail system finished.

It's taken me awhile to put this thing together, but I'll be saving several hundred bucks over buying one. So I think it's worth it. If you're interested in these things check out some of the legit (and expensive) systems out there...
