Hi Serge, Rave is just the same but I'm still trying to inspire using increasingly old equipment - which means the place is going backwards. What are you doing? E-mail d.crossman at rave dot ac.uk as usual. Cheers.
35mm provides the shallower depth of field.
16mm cannot provide anything like the 'look' of 35mm in this respect - assuming you are shooting 35mm at a wide aperture. This is an optical difference and even the newest 16mm stocks cannot create this.
I think this is what cinema and TV audiences like about the larger format even if they do not understand what creates this.
Regards.
