So here's the deal. I bought a vx2000 last february (06) and I loved it. One thing I didn't like was threading lens's on. This really hurt me because I was always worried about cross threading and having to replace my entire VAP unit ($550 repair) as a consequence. Also, I hated that it took me time because when I shoot, I need to be ready in seconds (you have to see me manually set my camera, it's like rapid fire now). What I decided to do was make something that would allow me to take advantage of the bayonet mount of the vx2000 that the lens hood uses. After a few weeks and a bunch of bad ideas, I came up with something perfect. My bayonet adapter was born. On one side are bayonet tabs that lock onto the camera and the other side has 58mm threads. Now what I do is screw my lens onto my adapter just once and I'm good for life. I just snap on my bayo (takes no more than a few seconds after practice) and I'm ready to go. People really liked my bayonet adapter so I figured, hey why not make some money? I don't have a job anyways. Anyways, I ended up selling my vx2000 a few months later and bought a vx2100 (the vx2000 was having audio problems) and I still use the bayonet adapter, here is a picture of my vx2100 and a batch of bayonet adapters I have made. These are for sale for $35 including shipping to anywhere in the US (including hawaii and alaska)
