opinion?

PostSat Apr 13, 2013 3:52 am

I am interested in all opinions about the best choice of cameras and lenses for a small one man production company...
Once I receive my mtf mount, I will have ane ef and mtf bmcc, a 10-20 ef lense and two rokinon sony alpha lenses. A 35mm 1.4 and an 85 1.4.

My question is if prehaps it is a better idea to sell both bmcc and sony alpha lenses and purchase a 4k model and the pocket model and pass on the savings to two better lenses. One really good one for each model camera.

If this seems like a good idea then I would love opinions on what two lenses would be considerd production conpany passible...

The problem is that my max budget would be about 1200 a lense tops...


Any advice would be welcome...

I am thinking prehaps an slr 25mm 0.9 but I am having alot of trouble even finding any online.

If this is too hard I can narrow the question down...
What are some lenses better then the rokinon cine lenses but cheaper then zeise or alot of other PL lenses?
1200 dollars around?

It depends on what Zeiss lens you're looking at. Some of them are cheaper than 1200. You might also want to look into Leica R lenses and get a mount adapter. Leica lenses are supposedly "the ****" and you can find them for great deals used at places or on EBay.
