[Michael Stevens] "you need the best prime lenses - Nikon AI's"
Well, yes and no... you do indeed need the best prime lenses... but those are going to be real cine lenses (or still lenses
rehoused for cine use).
Real cine lenses are going to be a bazillion times easier to use than still camera lenses, be they Nikkors or whatever. Still lenses can be a royal pain to follow focus with on a DoF converter because the travel-range of the focus ring is so short... with Nikons I believe it is 1/5th of a barrel turn. With cine lenses you will have almost a full barrel turn, and your focus puller will not be tearing his hair out or constantly calling for retakes due to soft shots.
