David, I meant the first way. I should have been clearer and said contemporary setting or something. I've seen and adore RAN, KAGEMUSHA, and SANJURO so I'm looking forward to watching the other five titles that you and Mike suggested. Thanks for the time you guys.

I've seen all the Kurosawa movies set in the feudal and post-fuedal time periods and I love them all. I've never gotten around his more contemporary work even though I have been meaning to for some time. Perhaps you guys have some suggestions as to the titles I should check out first.

Can you use the 16x manual zoom lens of the SD XL series or does the xl h1's increased resolution make this impractical? If so, is Canon going most likley going to release an HD 16x manual lens? If not would this make the HD 20x zoom that comes with the xl h1 the only lens with an xl mount that is sharp enough to use on this camera? Maybe some of you guys can help me out with this information. -Thank you

Hello, I'm rather ignorant on the use of negative fill. If someone could please educate me a little on the circumstances one would find it desirable and the techniques to employ, I would appreciate it.
