I agree completely, if there are any keys to making a good movie I would start with story, screenplay then acting, sound and finally camera format and photography. A 35mm adapter is just a tool I use to achieve a shallow depth of field, when I desire one. I think digital video and NLE is giving everyone the opportunity to experiment with filmmaking just like paint and brushes, chisels and hammers, throw away cameras and guitars and drum sets have allowed others to try their art. Most find out very quickly that it isn't as easy as it looks. Until recently, only a select few have been allowed to try their hand at filmmaking. The hordes of young Spielbergs and Rodriguez's will mostly fall by the wayside with the thousands of Elvis's, Britneys and other idols. Heck, I made lots of bad 16mm short films before digital video allowed me to make bad feature length films. Now I can even make a bad movie with a nice shallow depth of field. :)
