get more telphoto with P+S mini35?

[alpi69]

we are in negotiations for a rather big production (12 months) and we will need more tele than the DVX + a 1.6 adapter would give especially for nature shots.

i also do not want to wait for the XL2 and if then i would probably rent one for those shots, cos the extra money buys me quite a few rental days and also equipment that i need anyway.

so i thought maybe the mini35 adapter with a longer cooke lens would help me out with the DVX. did anyone try this out?

don´t ask me how long i need, but twice of the DVX is the minmum (which would be around 640 in 35mm terms and still way shorter than the canon-servo20x lens)

With the mini35 you'd need a 400mm lens to get the reach you're talking about. It could do it, obviously, because you could always just use a Nikon or Canon or Contax still-camera lens mount and get that focal length.

But your footage will look "different": softer, with some subtle glow on the highlights and some grain in the picture. You'd have to do some treatment in post to get it to match and intercut.
