New adapter tutorial!
22. Your adapter is finished.
Build your adapter in 22 easy to follow steps, just follow the photographs, I could do it while taking photos myself at the same time!
Here is the tutorial.
Nikon bundle test footage
The new nikon bundle is available for £52 with P&P included; and here is a little test video to how you what it is capable of:
New sample video
Some people have asked to see a bit more footage so i have shot a quick test video with the HV20 and the new achromat that should be released soon. Check it out by clicking the vimeo picture:
Static screens now available! Build a $55 DoF adapter.
Static screens for Canon and Nikon tubes are now available, they are circular filters ground to a 5 micron finish. The outer diameter of the Nikon screen is 54.42mm The outer diameter of the Canon screen is 57.29mm. I will try and get some footage up soon.
Check your canon tubes size!
The new tubes have an inner diameter of 56.71mm, this is not wide enough to fit condensers or GGs
The old tubes have an inner diameter of 57.35mm, this is the correct side for condensers and GGs.
Ask the seller which size they sell before you purchase them. Old tubes and new tubes are still compatible with each other as they both have a 60mm thread so you can mix and match old and new tubes.
I am getting some custom made tubes which will look better and allow condensers and static GGs to fit, they should be ready in a week or two.
Nikon tubes are fine and condensers and GGs fit well into all the types I have tried.

Condensers for Nikon tubes, and other news.
So I finally have condensers for nikon tubes now, here is a picture:
The lenses are very good, maybe even a little sharper than the canon tube condensers.
Unfortunately they do cost a little more, but they are still very cheap.

An Ident I am working on.
I was recently asked to help make an ident for a local film festival.
Two years ago I had one of my films shown at the final screening of this same festival, and a film group I am in also hosted a mini screening in an outdoor cinema, check out the flyer we made for it on the right.
The festival is all about young film-makers in rural areas; it's tagline is "You'd be surprised at what happens right under your nose". I was given a copy of the logo, and have been working for a couple of days. Here is a draft of what I have gotten so far.
