H.W.,
Have you shot any timelapse or animation type stuff with a LOMO, Zeiss
or other Cine lens on a DSLR (not a video camera or a digital still in
video mode) as compared to still lenses?

While I'm at it, how big is the noticeable difference between the 
various MoPic film stocks and the digital chips, especially when Cine 
lenses are used? Can they even cut together?

I read an article a while back about the stop-motion film, "Corpse 
Bride". They decided to use the Canon over the Mitchell because they 
said the Mitchell looked almost out of focus in comparison to the 1D 
image - I believe they used all Nikon lenses, but not sure if they used 
the same lenses on the Mitchell.

Speaking of which - I'm in the market for a new DSLR and am eyeing up 
the Pentax K200D. Anyone used this camera?
