Hi Zach,

Barry Green as adviced me not to use the mini35 if the end result is to end up on 35mm. But, as he said, it is best to have a look at the DVFilm demo reel.

I will at some point ask them for the reel so that I can have a better idea. But, from what I have been reading on the forum, I am leaning towards the anamorphic adapter.

I am not that experienced in this area, so I am trying to learn as much as I can from the forum so that I can make a good decision.

All the best

Fidel.

I'd say just rent a zoom lens. That way you can get a broad range. Band of Brothers was shot with only two zoom lenses.

I'm with Fidel, though. I'd save the money for something else to achieve the film look. Like a person who knows what they are doing in post for color correction and enhancements.

For a film out, the anamorphic lens and good lighting will probably give better results than the Mini35...just because it would be so soft.
