micro 35 and a blow up

I am guessing this is another one that Barry will be able to hit right on the head, but I was wondering with the new micro 35 that redrock is putting together. If the new GG he has going for it possibly has little to no resolution loss would you benefit by letting the detail level drift around a -1 or 0 to help with any softening that could be instituted by the micro 35. Would this be of benefit if there was a possible blow as well.

I know if we were for sure to get a blow up to shoot film but we are not sure so we just want to make sure we get the best res in case.

Re: micro 35 and a blow up

I am betting the same but we are not going to use the micro 35 on everything. Ana for the wide stuff that we don't need anything shallow. the micro for everthing we can not get the standard lens to give us. And I am going to play around with uping the detail a bit once I get mine built to see if that helps at all. Of course I have yet to see it with the new GG so it could be a lossless or near lossless adaptor and I am hoping that is true.
 
Re: micro 35 and a blow up

I've been thinking a lot about this.

When using your Micro35, you'd be composing your DOF-reliant shots in 4:3 (1.33:1), while the anamorphic 16:9 (1.77:1) might well be fitted for normal shooting situations where DOF isn't an issue.

So, regardless of end format, we've got some resolution and cropping issues. Is anyone using a program to matrix out the 1.33:1 images without introducing noise or artifacts?

I suppose it is possible to use a DOF adapter throughout production - though you'd need a feature-size assortment of lenses to keep things moving. Using a zoom as a variable prime might work, but it seems that fighting the slower speeds and reduced depth of field might really inhibit your number of pages.

Any ideas?
