Thank you for the brilliant site Andrew and the regular news and updates that keep it fresh.
I wonder if you would mind elaborating on your comment.. "But there is a magic to full frame, as there was with the old Mark II. It is all in the rendering of the lenses".
I find no-one being able to pin this down properly. Apart from the crop factor's effect on focal length, how is the same lens 'rendering' differently on a full-frame to give it 'magic' rather than if it is on a crop sensor body?
Anyone's thoughts on this encouraged as I find discussions on this always tend to blur into vagaries.

Since the sensor is larger, you can use a longer focal length but maintain a wider field of view, especially with an anamorphic. So 50mm is as wide as a 25mm on the GH2. Now that means you see more of the rendering of the image in the circle of light projected by the lens into the sensor, and a shallower DOF partly due to the longer focal length. It is a unique look.

Thanks Andrew. So the 'magic' you are referring to is the fact that we get the shallower DOF at the relatively wider angle? If so, with a crop sensor, can we not equal this 'magic' with faster lenses such as Voigt .95 on gh2?
(putting aside anamorphic effects for the moment)
