Hi Guys,

I was wondering if can you still white balance with your adapter on, or should you do it prior to fitting?

Also when they shoot features (35mm film) what primes would a DOP commonly use?

I know that's probably a broad question, but what would be some really common focal lengths and f stops?

Thanks guys, still waiting for my LEX and rods to arrive! :thumbsup:

Yes, you can do the white balance with 35mm adapter and lens on.

Shooting in "normal" circumstances:
A 50mm lens is considered "normal". Used for medium and medium wide shots.
24 or even 28mm is considered wide angle. Good for wide shots.
I also have 100mm and 135mm for extreme close ups and/or to get really shallow dept of field.

f-stops depend a lot on the shooting situations but I tend to use ND filters and aperture at 1.4 to 2.8 for that beutiful shallow depth of field. Then if you want a really lond depth of field you want to use aperture of 11 to 22.

I just got my LEX and it is amazing!!
