Daniel Hueque Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) I hope I'm posting this in the right place. My friend has a Canon Vixia HF 100 and is interested in getting a 35mm adaptor for it. I've seen people on these boards recommend Letus, Redrock, etc., which is what I recommended to him. He searched around on the internet and found this company: www.miny.tv They appear to sell more affordable 35mm adaptors for about $300. My question is, does anyone have any experience with this company/adaptor? If so, is it worth buying, and will it fit his camera (I found a list of cameras it is compatible with, and I think I saw his on there, but the instead of saying Vixia HF 100 it says something else HF 100), etc? Or is this site a scam, or is the product not worth $300 etc. Any additional information about this would help. I just want to make sure it isn't garbage before he makes the purchase. And if the miny adaptor is no good I'll try to talk him into buying a RNG instead. Thanks a lot for reading.

Daniel Hueque Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Ok, it appears the company is based in Turkey. And seeing how we live in the states, I'm thinking this transaction might be a bad idea right off the bat. Please let me know if I'm wrong about this.

Ryan Thomas Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I wouldn't bother. There's so much vignetting on those clips and it wasn't even shot with a very wide lens. Stick with the Letus, it's the only one worth buying in my opinion. Either way, you get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hueque Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yeah, I was kind of hesitant from the beginning, but it looks more and more like it's not going to be worth the money. Thanks for checking it out for me. I looked at the footage on the site but wouldn't know if the quality is good or not. I'd feel better buying a more expensive one from an established company. It was my friend's money though so I thought I'd ask for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
