I only use focus assist as a guide. However, I don't rely on it.

I thought one big advantage with P+S/Cine lenses over my M2/Nikons was that you could rely perfectly on tape measuring. So it isn't?
By the way, Charles Papert talked about P+S softening, I love my M2 for the special reason it doesn't softens like P+S does

the DV anamorphic adapter (century, optex) will not give a good result with an HDV camera.
the current adapters available are poor quality lenses, they just work on SD.

Brian,
Nice looking footage. Any settings hints? Was it HD100 and mini35? etc

Thanks
