Bob beat me to it but Open Water was shot with the Sony VX2000 & PD150 (same HAD CCD sensor in each camera) - no 35mm adapter was used. See www.imdb.com/title/tt0374102/technical

Regardless though Alex makes some great points about how it's never enough for some people! They should just shoot on film and be done with it! Funny though I wonder how many of these people complaining have actually even shot anything with or without an adapter? :)

Jeremy - great of you to post those links, I want to check them out too!
