Remember though that we're talking about two very different things here between stills and video - 21 megapixel vs. 2 megapixel. You need far less resolving power to generate a very good image at 2mp, and any decent 35mm film lens should be up to the task. In fact resolving too much detail is probably likely to be a bigger problem than too little as it will worsen the aliasing problem.
