What are the other benefits to using a 35mm adapter in addition to smoother bokehs? It would be great if someone could post some comparison shots, with and without a 35mm lens adapter.

I could see that in certain applications the EX1's increased shallow focus vs common 1/3" small-format HD camcorders would be enough to keep some from utilizing a 35mm adapter. But there are plenty of other benefits to using a 35mm adapter, like smoother bokeh rendering. -Matt Jeppsen I think it really depends on the application and the look you want to achieve.

If that is true, that would probably swing me from buying a HVX200 to an EX1.
