Well, I spent many long and pleasant years as a high-end professional commercial photographer, and I made it a habit to keep up with such minutae as lensmounts. Unfortunately, my knowledge is getting old and dated, but it do come in handy now and again. The lens you want is as short a focal length as possibe while still maintaining flat field. On 35mm cameras, that's probly one of the "macro" lenses. I use Canons, and theirs is 55mm (mine is ancient!). Nikon is 50mm, I think. The focal length will be a problem, as you'll be in superclose mode on the video camera. I'm going to figure all this out hands-on but haven't had time yet. I get most acceptable results with my DigiView as is. Oddly, when i bought the thing, I had visions of installing my outrageously sharp and expensive enlarging lenses on the thing (they fit the Cthread enough to work). Unfortunately, they have no helical for focusing, though. Well, live and learn.
