I Need a 35mm Adapter For This Weekend (13th)

[ChrisLyon]

Okay, so I've spoken the unspeakable words here on RedUser. Forgive me. I'd ask this question on DVXUser but I have more of a presence on this forum so I feel more comfortable doing it here.

I need a 35mm Lens adapter. I need something this weekend. I'm located in Shreveport, LA so if anyone lives in Dallas or the BR/NOLA area that would be willing to lend me their 35mm adapter and maybe a few lenses for this weekend, I can work out some form of monetary compensation. We are using a JVC GY-HD110U and so if it's a Letus we would need the lens adapter for that. I'm hoping someone has one here that I can rent!

It's for a 24-hour film competition and my old supplier got rid of his!

HELP!

OR

If anyone wants to try out their Red on a short 24 hour project in Shreveport, LA we'd love to have you! Supplying Red, Lenses and a Mac workflow as the editing platform would be necessary because I'm a PC user. Per Diem, compensation for travel and housing would be provided. We would just be shooting 720p because it's a 24 hour festival and we wouldn't have time for any fiddling with large files.

Long shot? Maybe. Worth a shot? Definitely.

Hey Chris, I'm in Houston and have a RR M2 with a set of Nikon primes. Don't really want to ship them, but if you are going to be in the area this week and could return them after your gig, we can talk.

 

[ChrisLyon]

Thanks for the offer! I'd would rather get one shipped as it will work better for my schedule but if it comes down to it and no one else offers, I'll drive down there on Thursday and return it on Monday.

BTW, what are your lenses? And do you have the 82mm ring adapter?

I have a REDROCK M2 complete Indie package NIKON ZF mount + CANON EOS mount + hard Shim kit + lens support + micro pod + AC adapter + follow focus + weeps etc. if used with the EOS mount I have the 8mm circular fisheye sigma/eos, EF 16-35 f/2.8L II, EF 50 f/1.2L, EF 85 f/1.2L II, EF 135 f/2.0L, EF 200 f/2.0L II etc.

Let me know and if I can I will try to help you out, this entire M2 kit is almost sold for $2,000.00 (not the lenses) so I have to make sure it does stay in perfect conditions.

So any way let me know where you are and where you will be using the adapter/lenses combination and will should see.

I'm in Riverside California.

Thanks for your post, Ketch. I have PMed you with some questions.

Sorry to be so picky, but I have clients that want everything they do shot with this rig, so I can't afford for UPS or somebody to lose the package. Not to mention the cost of replacement.

My lenses are 24mm F2, 28mm F2, 35mm F1.4, 55mm F1.2, 85mm F1.4, and a Sigma 24-70 F2.8 zoom. I need to keep my mattebox and follow focus here for gigs I have during your shoot. Again, sorry, but I am a freelance shooter, so this stuff is my livelihood.

I totally understand, McKee. You have a PM. Thanks for hanging in there.
