Just keep in mind that any 35mm adaptor diffuses the image considerably.
2/3" primes shot wide open will achieve similar depth of field compared to many 35mm lenses."
The Depth of Field on 2/3 wide open can't compare to 35mm DOF. The equivalent Field of View of a 2/3 wide lens open to a 1.6 is about the same as a 35mm cine open to 5.6 1/2. I shot a feature last year on digi primes and even wide open I wish I could get shorter DOF.
I personally find the PS with a good set a primes a more cinematic look than digi's wide open. Digi's especially with wide lenses still feel "video" to me.
