So I think I'm going to get a 35mm adapter. I was looking at the JAG35. Which one of those would you suggest? I'm using a XL2 with a 72mm thread and a 35mm FD lens mount. I'm torn between getting the vibrating Jag35 Pro and a step up converter, or just the JAG35 XL. Why is the XL more expensive? It doesn't say anything about it vibrating or rotating. I'm willing to spend some extra money to get the best one.

If you are willing to spend the money get a used Letus or a SG.

I'm going to say SG because it's the only one I've used, but if I can get to grips with it, anyone can.

Thanks but those two are out of my range. I'm willing to spend money but only on what I can afford.

I have the cheapest Jag and it actually works very well. I would definitely recommend it.

Thanks Ladri. I've heard that vibrating 35mm adapters give a little jello effects. Specifically heard from the Twoneil adapter. Does anyone have a vibrating adapter and know about this?

I have a jag35, and I love it. I would reccomend it.

You should probably get the Jag XL.
But you don't really need a 35mm adapter. Why waste the money?

I would look at either the Jag35, or the XL. I believe the XL is just bigger so you don't need any step rings.

Ladri, what Jag do you have? ST?

Yeah. That one. It works great too for only being $100. I can completely get rid of vignetting which is awesome.

I'm thinking of snatching up one of those. I think for the price it seems like it wouldn't be good, but some footage from it amazes me. Now I'm going to get it.
How did you get rid of all vig? I'm thinking for the price of it, throwing on an Opteka Macro (Really good - 50$) would still bring to the price to a whopping $150, then throw in a 50 dollar lens, and you could have a decent set up for the price of a TwoNeil.
Thanks alot.

Just zoom in a bit and that gets rid of most of it. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell on the small screen. I really wish I had an HD monitor.

No problem. I'll post some footage within a day or two.

Alright. Here is some footage if anybody want to see the Jag ST in action.
Some of the shots are kind of like the random pool pipes but hey, it looks nice.
