I use to work with DOF adapters on Ground Glass for a long time with the first JAG 35 adapters for the HV20. They are ok but they have their problems (namely dust and the look of ground glass), what I think would be extremely impressive is if MetaBones can make an optical adapter for the full frame (5d Mark iii) to pump to 65mm (or somewhere close).
reasons: Full Frame has less pixel density and I personal find it's image to have a greater tonality not just DOF. Also, less of a leap in terms of format jumping.
Everything that I have see from MetaBones has been, in my humble opinion, the way to go.
that said, this is a great step forward and shows where we should be heading and MAJOR CONGRATS to RichG101. Great build!!
