Dear poster of "Professional DP needed with Sony EX-1 and Letus 35mm adapter (Los Angeles)" and ALL THE OTHER posters asking for owner-operators of similar consumer (and hack) tools,
After reading way to many posts from those like yourself I felt it time to offer a public service.
WHEN YOU POST THINGS LIKE THIS IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE AN AMATEUR AND REAL PROFESSIONALS WILL MOST LIKELY NOT WANT TO WORK WITH YOU.
Instead you will attract wannabes, film students, and more than one person who bought a Red camera that they can't afford and are desperate to make a buck.
IT IS INSULTING TO THINK THAT A DP WILL BE HAPPY TO AUTOMATICALLY WORK WITH THE "HIGHLY EXPERIENCED" GAFFER YOU HAVE ATTACHED. WHO IS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOUR PRODUCTION? THE WORST GAFFER I EVER WORKED WITH HAD BEEN A PROFESSIONAL 20-YEARS LONGER THAN THE DIRECTOR, IT DOESN'T MAKE THEM TALENTED OR NOT A TOTAL DICK.
REAL PROFESSIONAL DPS DON'T BUY CRAPPY TOOLS WITH THE INTENTION TO MAKE A LIVING FROM THEM. That means to Sony EX-anything, RED, JVC, CANON or cheap PANSONIC cameras.
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE MORE QUALIFIED THAN THE DP TO DECIDE WHAT EQUIPMENT TO USE FOR THIS PROJECT?
LEARN THIS LESSON - THE >> DUMBEST << HIRING DECISION ANY PRODUCER CAN MAKE IS HIRING A DP BASED ON WHAT EQUIPMENT HE OR SHE OWNS. WHY DO YOU THINK DPS HAVE REELS?
