Hey everyone,

I'm sorry for reposting this I had it in the Tech section but, I'm not getting any answers so I thought I would try here.

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 :thumbsup:
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
 
Do a few cam tests and see if the rez is acceptable for what you are doing. As far as distributors, call some of them and find out what they're looking for. A little research always helps. :)
 
MDcox I emailed P&S on this same subject. Their answer was to not do it and stretch in post. Like what was done in November. I think putting additional lenses and the adapter will introduce many unwanted variables. The less you put in front of the Leica lens, the better it will be. Even the transfer houses suggest shooting wide open with nothing in front of the lens; including filters.
