hi chaps if the steadicam shots look poop and some of the tripod/handheld shots are soft, then surely the blame should land squarely on the shoulders of the DoP, being the Head of the camera dept...? cheers morgs

Hi Tomas EF lenses don't have proper teeth, so you might need a geared ring adapter to be able to run a follow focus motor. are you using a wireless follow focus? im sure the breathing will be hardly noticeable when you've got the stuff happening in the frame and the camera is moving... morgs

you shouldnt have any probs shooting 16:9. ive only used the t1.3 superspeeds and the quality was fantastic. dont stop down more than t4 because youll see the grain of the mini35 and remember youll be loosing a couple stops of light to begin with. do some tests with the ground glass running at different speeds to see where you find the least grain. the hire company will probably be happy to show you how it all works. have fun! morgs

hi jonathan are you using the pro35 or mini35? and is there a set of lenses included, if so are they stills lenses or PL mount? i have never used the mini35 but i have used the pro35, movietube, letus and brevis with a variety of PL and stills lenses... cheers morgs
