Description Depth of Field Adapter to turn video cameras into MOVIE-LIKE cameras!  The depth of field adapter attaches to the front of your camera lens (Redrock Micro, etc. are all variations of the same) so that you can use 35mm still and professional lenses to achieve the shallow DOF (depth of field) effect of "Real" motion pictures!  All these systems work well but many cost a lot of money and the best use a vibrating (or rotating/spinning) ground glass element to focus on.  This adapter does just that. I purchased this for a project that ultimately fell through-now I have nothing in the pipeline so I am liquidating some of my equipment.  This is not just the DOF adapter, but is also the RAIL SYSTEM to support it, the FOLLOW FOCUS system for really effective focusing and all the accessories.  it even includes a step ring for 75mm to 62mm as I was using it with my Sony V1U. I prefer to sell as an entire kit, but if no one jumps at it, I will sell in sections. I will not do so until after this auction is completed (if no seller steps forward).
