how long will the short be?looks interesting

excellent work again. if you took away the mini35 in all those instances, do you think you'll have a similiar shot or vastly different shot?

i know chris hurd has made a visual comparison shot of all the lenses available for the XL2 but i didn't remember the mini35 in there.

You know that is an excellent idea. Somebody should do a shot by shot comparison so we can see the differences side by side. Set up a test setup, a still-life or something. Get all the Canon lenses out and then get a mini35 with a set of the Zeiss speed primes. Lock off the tripod and just swap lenses in an out and post the frame grabs. Though it would be nice to have some idea of the motion differences, I have a feeling that would be just too complex to put together and post online (too bandwidth heavy at least.)

If anybody in the LA area want to get together and do this test. Let me know. I've got an XL2 and the 16x manual lens.

it's already happened oliver, save the mini35.

I'm getting an anginue (SP?) 10mm - 150mm Lens and a Peling 8mm fisheye both with PL mount adapters from www.xl1soulutions.com They claim there is only a 2x extention -I'll be mounting them to my xl-2 and shoot some frames that I hope to post before christmas.
