thanky :-)

well i havent used the z7, (just shot some 16mm though) i believe the z7 uses CMOS chips rather than CCD, so there are pros and cons there, and also the lens is detachable, so you can put a better lens on it than the fx1, if you have the money.

but its all about how you use such things isnt it, you can give a 35mm camera to someone and it can look liek crap but give a dv camera to another person and he'll make soemthing interesting.

i used the redrock micro m2, with nikon lenses, but not for the short which i shot with the fx1. that was just the stock lens (i didnt own the m2/lenses then)

oh sorry, i bought most from ebay, some from second hand camera shops, ebay is cheaper, i did have to send one back though, as it was no good for using with a hd camera (there were scratches on the lenses which the seller didnt mention) but i got my money back. and they were all (as in each) around £50-90
