Hey everyone,
Hope all is well. I have a question that I believe is going to end up just a matter of opinion but, I'm hoping the more experienced folks will step up.

I'm getting ready to start shooting a feature and I want to shoot it with the DVX (my last short I shot on an HD Vericam) and to give you some in-site on what my plans are, I want to show it at the local theaters and then get a distributer so it will probably end up on DVD.

So here's my dilemma, as I said I want to shot it on the DVX w/ the Mini35 what a great look right, however my understanding is that the Anamorphic lens from Panny will not fit and the Anamorphic lens that you can get w/ the Mini35 are supposed to be a pain in the @ss.

So I guess my question really is this if I don't use the Anamorphic lens at all is the 16X9 squeezed really that bad on the rez? Or would I be better of using the Panny lens and forget the Mini35 which I kinda don't want to do. I think the look of the Mini35 is great and I would like to use it I'm just wondering about the end result.

If I do try to get a distributer than I'll have to show it to them and most people now like watching the 16x9 don't they? Or am I just crazy?

All help is greatly appreciated :)
PS. one last thing I am not the DP I haven't found one yet so for those of you that where going to ask NO, I do not have any 35mm experience...

Thanks,
M.D. Cox
