I think I should get it, mount it on my 35mm so that it becomes a nice crop, become a paparazzi, move to Hollywood and become rich.... (Rub hands like Mr.Burns) ;)

You've got that reversed, Francois: you'd be mounting your 35 camera on IT.

You wouldn't want to move to Hollywood, that would put you too close, just shoot from home.
