Response to List of equipment reccomended when making a feature with the Canon XL-1

i'm doing the same thing, one thing you may want to look into is an optex len, it fit's on the canon xl-1. It will let you pull focus, it is a must for the canon when shooting a feature . The canon iris adjust in incremental whereas the optex iris ring is full range and allows you to set very accurate settings.( light meter needed) no auto focus, no internal nd filter, and no stabilzer. this lens is a must , problem is it costs $1700. but if you have a dolly crane or alot of depth in your film, think about it. good luck with your film , anything i can help you with feel free to ask..
