Larry, if you spot this and dont mind telling us, what was your decision on the 35mm adapter?

i'm grappling with this myself but i realised that although, for example, Phil Blooms Sony EX1 and 35mm adatepter shots are just stunningly beautiful, (but he also has a creative eye) they could for certain narrative get in the way of the storytelling.

I saw a blu-ray of The Searchers with John Wayne on a 58" plasma - pin sharp and awesome - and where shallow DOF is used to support the story, and NOT in every shot.
