re ring connector

All sounds rather complicated and expensive these ideas and suggestions.

I have a basic ring connector I purchased for $35 and it screws into the flip mirror that came with my Vixen ED 103,the EOS bodies simply screw on or off.Never had an issue with focus.I have a texture mark on draw tube were focus is and set it to that,to start Bartnov mask focus.

Here is a few images of what I have,The other suggestions sound rather complex and expensive,and from what I can see of them,more room for issues.

If I want to rotate the camera I simply loosen the two grub screws that hold the mirror flip box and rotate to frame as wanted.Very simple,I see no need to over complex things.

Here is a image as well,I was doing basic test of some new gear,it started to work,so I framed up M8,I did not even check focus,just line up texture mark.and 4 minutes later had this capture.

Hope this helps.

Chris
