I did some tests prior to shooting a feature called "The Perfect Sleep" last winter, which was slated to shoot on HDCAM (Cinealta) and deliver on 35mm. Since the director and I wanted a 2:40 aspect...

From the behind-the-scenes video, it's a 2/3" camera (Phillips?) with a PRO35 adaptor. It's a matter of opinion which makes more difference, the lighting or the adaptor; there's thread upon thread...
