Yong's DOF adapter

Yong brought his cheap 35mm lens adapter to show me. It really does look cheap. If you look inside it, you can see all the glue (it looks like silicone) blobbed up here and there. He got the vibrating one. It's amazing that the vibration doesn't seem to affect the image. It also looks a little heavy. With no rods, you have to be careful with it. The footage he showed me looks great. The main problem is severe vignetting. It's actually quite attractive, but it's always there. One other problem is the lack of a focusing attachment. You can't use a whip so you probably have to do all the focusing yourself.
