Inexpensive JAG35 Pro Depth of Field Adapter
I really like the $400 JAG35 Pro depth of field adapter. I am testing it out on my Sony HDR-SR11 and the results speak for themselves. All of the audio was recorded off the SR11’s camera mic while the JAG was vibrating! It is very quiet! This adapter does have limitations and you should understand them all before you buy it. Please read my blog for detailed information about my first impressions. If you want a more in depth review that I posted to my blog, please click here. This is a great adapter for those of you who own the small HD cameras and want a cheap way to get the “film look” on video. This adapter will not replace Letus adapters. Total cost of the the camera, adapter and lens: $1,200. Just goes to show that you do not need to spend thousands to shoot sick looking video.

Hey,
I have a Sony HC9E and would like to add DOF to my films to create a more cinematic/film look. Will this Jag35 work with my camcorder? :S
i am not sure. most cameras are compatible. check with jehu at jag35 dot com or ask him a direct question using twitter. use @jag35questions or @jag35.
will this work on my Sony HDR-SR10?
yes it will.
First and second shoots were amazing! nice one! honestly great great shots!
hey Tom I have a Sr-11 Im a student at university cinema-tv in Turkey. I watched about jag35 pro I want buy but ı dont know which lens select.And what kind of buy jag35 pro?(mm)
if you get the jag35 pro, i recommend a nikon or canon FD 50mm f1.4 lens as a good place to start.
I have a jag35 mounted to my canon hv30. the images seem sort of dirty to me. See a sample here. http://www.vimeo.com/11035591
Is there something i can do to clean the adapter?
Also, I see you are using a tripod in the video above, but how do you get the sliding left to right effect?
Thanks, Thor
that video looks fine to me. the jag35 requires more light than the letus adapters. try using a tripod or slider for that effect. you cannot clean the adapter, make sure the ground glass is vibrating (motor on!)
when using a tripod pan left to right very slow with something close to the camera lens. this foreground will give the illusion of a dolly move.
If you take off the plastic around the LCD and pop a magnet on the exposed metal, that will flip the camera right side up. To flip it where left is left and right is right there is a small slit where a rail from the LCD slides in and out of. Push a toothpick in that slot and WAMO… You are now seeing everything the way it should be. Hope this help someone.
I’m glad I came across this.. I have a noob question, are we still able to use our feature on the camcorder such as, Zooming in and out? I saw your video using manual focus and exposure but haven’t seen any video of yours or other using a 35mm adapter using zoom in and out on the camcorder. By the way, my camera is Sony hdrxr-520
