widescreen adapter AND 35mm adapter compatibility...

I want to get the anamorphic widescreen adapter for the dvx100a. However, down the line, I may also want to get one of the 35mm adapters like the G35, mini35 or redrock depending on what the budget I have is. I was thinking, if i want the true 16:9 widescreen that the adapter offers, but also want the shallow depth of field and 35mm look the G35 or mini 35 offer, can they both be used together? I wanted to see if anyone here has tried to use both to get the two benefits in conjunction with each other and how it worked out. Don't really want to compromise and use digital squeeze or cropping.

Also, next year I may trade up to a HVX 200 and I hear they have native 16:9. If they do not allow you to screw on 35mm lenses direct, I expect using an adapter like the G35 on it would allow true 16:9 (which is already native) AS WELL as the 35mm effect such an adapter like the G35 or mini35 would offer without the need for a separate widescreen adapter.

questions, questions...


(oh yeah also, if any of the dvx moderators read this, I also have some questions regarding advertising so please let me know who to talk to about it, thanks).

ROKOKO,

I don't think you can use the 16:9 and a mini35 together, but I could be wrong. I shot my feature with the 16:9 and I can tell you if I had not ordered and read Barry Green's guide to the lens I would have screwed up severely, there are certain limitations and quirks to shooting with the lens, so make sure you educate yourself if you do decide to shoot with it.
 
I cant seem to find where to get a G35 lense, its on the P-S website but I dont see pricing anywhere or where to get it.
