Here you go, My smallest yet. Canon 50D + Voigtlander 50/2.8 (DKL mount) + YashicaScope + Aivascope Focuser 8 ( + lots of adapters from china + rapido to have the yashicascope held properly)

I use one myselft, the back thread is exactly similar to Sankor 16D. So any clamp for Sankor 16D is good

Thanks a lot to all the competitors. This is a great idea for a contest and I love it. For the story, I went ahead and tried to participate. I picked a setup from what I had lying around, went to shoot and was pretty please with my day. However, when I saw the footage on resolve, it was so shaky that I couldn't use it. This was my last hope for this camera, and I had no time to re-shoot :s Just for laughs I went to shoot with this stuff. (Don't try this at home, this is the crappiest camera ever made for video) I can't wait for the next round ! Congrats to all participants you all did great jobs !

Don't know about this LSR magic adapter specifically. But anamorphic adapters do not like large front element on taking lenses, and SLR magic adapters are not usually sharp under f/2.8. I'd say you'd better save money and try to find a nice f/2 or f/2.8 pancake lens

I would be very interested to know how much you'd be asking for the bolex ! I have some stuff to sale next week, so it might be on my budget

I'll have to check that when I get back home (i'm on family vacation now). But one thing is sure, is that I would like to sell the complete set so that I don't have to bother with multiple sales and a Leicaflex camera with no lenses to go with :D

I know, I'd have more chances to sell it on ebay, but I'll prefer if its helps someone in the community I'll put it on ebay at some point, but i'd prefer not to.

Still for sale BTW. I think I may put everything on ebay. But I prefer a direct sale

I'll have to disagree, I have an X-T1 that I mainly use for stills and the occasional video. It is just the best camera in terms of ergonomics I have ever come across. Everything is accessible, and I never have to open the menu. Just love it. I used an A7S2 and GH4 recently, and I felt like every setting needed to go into a submenu of another not-so-obvious menu. I guess it's just a matter of taste, but I really love the Fuji handling and general use

There is a Mir-37B, Elmoscope-I and HCDNA on the setup shown Was testing it to see if was was light enough. (answer is : depends how strong you are :D )

I have to disagree, I have an AF100 (basically the predecessor of the EVA1) and have been using the EVF every time I went handheld (around half the time I used the AF100). I don't think the EVF is useless to everyone. That said, the only drawback I see to the EVA1 is the EF Mount. A shorter flange mount would certainly make a big difference to me. Everything else seems great !

I you put everything on rails you will be fine You can also attach a single focus solution so that you don't have to focus the meteor

I have everything to power both the monitor and BMMCC from one sony NP-F battery but couldn't try it before I got my EVF. I still have to sort that out.

I find the battery life very decent. I shot a small event weeks ago. 2 batteries got me for the entire afternoon with a bit of juice left. I guess it depends on the recording codec a bit. You can also power it using the 12V input on the camera.

The 50D records 24,25,30p 1080p video. You need Magic lantern to enable it once, but the setting stays up, so you can record video without a magic lantern card. Video quality is between the 550D and 5dmk2. Yes this camera is outdated for stills, but I never found it limiting in photography. You get, decent burst shots, nice colors and a very good build quality. Only high Iso is lagging behind new cameras.
