Lens advice?

PostFri Sep 07, 2018 10:51 pm

I just pre-ordered the Cinema 4K. I'm curious if anyone recommends an affordable lens for shooting hand held (gimbal) and tripod footage? I use Nikon currently and didn't want to use an adapter on the Cinema if possible. I'm starting out and the amount of equipment out there seems endless.

Thank you,

Timothy Pizza

Do a search on the forum, there has been a lot of previous discussion on this topic.
Then come back with any questions you may have. ;)

Their are numerous lenses available from a variety of vendors. You need to decide weather you wan Native auto MFT lenses thst the camera can control, or manual cine style lenses, thst you control. Then see what is available in the category you have selected.
Next you need to decide on what your budget is for some lenses. This will determine where you need to start looking.
