I have the stock XL2 video lens and was wondering if I could somehow use that lens along with a Canon 30D? Thanks

They are different mounts for sure, but since there is the converter to put photo lenses on the camera I thought I'd find out if that could be used visa-versa, or if there is some other kind of converter...? RCTV Productions

No vice-versa. There is only EOS to XL converter. The crop factor of XL2 is approx 6x. So forget using XL lenses on EOS. 5D Mark II + 40D | Lenses: Sigma 150-500mm BigmOS / Canon 24-105mm F4L IS / Canon 70-200 F4L IS / Canon 85mm 1.8 / Sigma Macro 70mm f/2.8 EX / Sigma 10-20mm EX / Canon 50mm f/1.8 II / Sigma 1.4x APO TC / Kenko 2x PRO300 DG. Lighting: Canon 580EX II + Metz 58 AF-1 + Sunpak 383...

So forget using XL lenses on EOS. pretty sure it's 7x. other than that, exactly right. eos to xl converter exists, but the image circle on an xl is far too small for it to work properly on a 30d I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.
