Lots of vignetting with that Jag 35

@RaleighLifestyleTV Yup, and you can zoom past it a bit before you lose the camera's focus on the adapter. I sold my Jag and put my money to better use with a Canon T2i DSLR.

Out-flippin' standing. Love the stop sign / trash / barf sequence. Ditto the ending! Double ditto your camera and its quality. Quadriple ditto Oscar!

This video and Grasslands both rock.

Cats eat grass to self medicate. Grow some oat grass in the winter for them and watch them smile!

@summersam08 Thanks :) I haven't seen this video in a while and I can't stop laughing at my cat's face expression as he's about to barf!

Your videos are absolutely amazing--you're so talented! But I was dismayed to see Oscar get sick. A bit too much grass? I trust he recovered quickly and is okay now. His commentary on one of your other videos was brilliant. I have a Havana Brown and am convinced that they are the best breed in the world!

[joejumps4fun]

Yes they are very nice cats :) Oscar likes to eat grass a lot and doing this makes him vomit occasionally. I don't know why he does it but he's okay.

@joejumps4fun LOL the first time I saw it I was rolling. How many times have I seen that look! and they're like, "Look! I'm Barfing! I'm Barfing!" -- Thanks for the retro-laugh!

You should had slowmod the cat vomit for extra art effect.

Cheers for the explanation, really appreciate your ever-helpful responses.

Another n00b question if I may - reason I asked was I already have access to a few lenses with EF EOS mount, so with that I thought it'll be useful for me to get a JAG35 with EF mount, considering almost all the lenses at my disposal have manual focus options available as well. Would it still be advised in my case to go for FD?

[joejumps4fun]

Because the point of using an EF mount is for electronic focus control. A Jag35 or any other DOF adaper is not going to be able to use this feature since you're manually controlling the focus. An EF would be good to use with a digital SLR, but not a video camera with DOF adapters. So if you get an EF, you're spending extra money for a feature that won't work, when you could save hundreds of dollars by getting an FD lens that works the way it's suppose to on the DOF.
