Hi! I need to find out the accurate focal length conversion for HD focal lengths when compared to 35mm focal lengths (i.e. what is the HD lens equivalent of the 35mm format's 18mm, 25mm, etc.?) Thanks!

Hi! I am wondering if you are supposed to shoot 4x3 or 16:9 while using the 35mm lens adapter? in the end how does the application of the 35mm lens adaptor effect the aspect ratio? thanks. /mikus.

Hi! I am thinking of relocating from Boston to L.A in cupple months, But have no idea about how the work situation looks like down there. I am a cinematographer that graduated in March from a filmschool in Poland. I would like the experience that L.A has to offer. I am interested in camera operating, gaffing, grip, AC, still photography. but where does one go? where does one look? and does one have to be in the union? In MA they have central booking- where one pays a fee and they call you up if there are any jobs in the area.- they are intouch with all the production companies. Is there someting similar in L.A? How does one join the union? I am hoping for some names. Thanks.
