So I decided to buy just 1 lens for the moment and add one by one to my kit. But given the tight budget I need to carefully buy lenses so that I can manage to shoot all a around with less number of lenses possible and cover most of the shoot.
So I basically decide to add Rokinon Cine Lens 35mm T1.5 as 1st lens (is it ok? ) and there are following lenses in the rokinon catalog, So which order I have to follow in buying and important qsn can I just manage over all scenes with 2 lenses, If so which type?
8mm T3.8 Cine Fisheye
35mm T1.5 Cine Wide Angle
8mm T3.8 Cine HD
85mm T1.5 Cine
14mm T3.1 Cine
24mm T1.5 Cine
16mm f/2.2 Cine Wide Angel Lens

Luc, since you are buying manual Nikon lenses for the BMCC MFT camera, you might want to consider the effect of adding the Metabones Speed Booster for MFT to Nikon. If you think a MSB is in your future then that might affect which lenses you buy. Certainly the types of scenes and distances you work in is a major factor and if your next expense is the 24mm lens, that does make sense. However you might think for a moment about buying the MSB next and that will change your 35mm T1.5 into something like a 25mm T1.1. And if you did that I'd recommend you look at the 16mm T2.2 lens next and the MSB turns that into roughly an 11mm T1.6 lens. After that, if you need longer shots, go for the 85mm T1.5 and turn that into about a 60mm T1.1.
Food for thought?
35mm T1.5 has angle of view (AOV) of 80mm full-frame (FF)
35mm T1.5 w/MSB becomes 25mm T1.1 with AOV about 55mm FF
16mm T2.2 has AOV of about 35mm FF
16mm T2.2 w/MSB becomes 11mm T1.6 with AOV about 25mm FF
85mm T1.5 has AOV of almost a 200mm FF
85mm T1.5 w/MSB becomes 60mm T1.1 with AOV about 135mm FF
So with those three primes and MSB combinations you have some very fast apertures on 11mm, 16mm, 25mm, 35mm, 60mm, and 85mm lenses which cover the range of 25mm to 200mm FF.
