My first with a 35mm adapter

Just finished my first shoot with a 35mm adapter, something that's been on my wish-list for a long time. Since I don't earn enough money to buy all the toys I want to try I have to wait for oportunities to convince clients to pay extra to use them. In this case it's configuration was a hvx200, P+S Technik miniPro, and a kit of four T1.3 primes (18 - 85mm).
I really like the Panasonic cameras because their picures looks so nice they hardly need any colorgrading. On paper, they are techically less impressive than Sony, especially the hvx200 with it's quasi HD chips, but for final SD delivery out I'm more than happy with 720, more so considering we were spending a considerable amount of money on a 35 adapter to get LESS defenition. Another benefit is that the DVCPRO-HD files permit me to do the cutting on my macbook.

Next on my wish-list of imagineer tools besides the RED is the Canon 5D Mark II.
