Tom is also a proud owner of a Sony EX-1 and a Letus 35mm adapter which I have as well for my HVX-200.Nate(my blog partner in crime) has been a long time user of the Red Rock kit which is another great choice when looking for 35mm adapter . Here is the HD link and little story on Tom’s Vimeo page Tom\’s HD Vimeo page
