I know what you're saying...I'm just trying to explain to you that you are better off with the methods I'm telling you.
As for an adapter putting a continuous focus zoom on the DSLR...you need to keep a few things in mind: Power for the zoom. Where will it come from? Extra battery, lots of extra weight, etc.
Also the noisiness of the adapter and zoom lens.
Plus just the fact that the quality of the zoom lens your going to use coupled with that adapter will cause you to lose all the reason for using a DSLR to begin with.
Before you do anything like spending a fortune on an adapter to put a continuous focus zoom lens on a dslr...you should first try working with a DSLR and some good glass.
A big on-camera monitor (I use a DP6 six inch monitor from Small-HD) with your DSLR makes pulling focus manually a breeze.
And once you put a high F-Stop (14 or even 16) and set the ISO to around 1600 you won't need continuous focus anyway.
The entire field in the frame will be in focus.  |
I got this motherfucker doing the deed for me:

BTW the client has said they are happy with a $600 HD camcorder... I only use the ax2000 because the little cameras are harder for me to hold. don't want to spend ANY money on camera mounts and sure don't want to fumble around with d800 shooting video... seriously the content is fine and rating highly with the members which is all I really want...
many many shooters have difficulty understanding that I don't shoot for me, there is nothing I want other than to shoot what the members want.. end result being I get the highest rating... how hard can it be right?
I might try some DSLR video sometime but to be real honest about it Robbie, on a daily basis I'm shooting 1500 +/- images and 1 hour +/- video... I don't even touch a motherfucking camera if I'm not working... ... I don't even take pictures with my stupid crappy phone
