What would we consider bare bones nessecities in gearing up with a MFT body once they finally start shipping. I usually do indie run and gun stuff, fast paced shoots.
I've got 2 "vintage" is the word people like to throw out at me so I have 2 vintage lenses, do you know what adapters would be best.. The first is a 50mm f2 Helios 44-2...the second is a Nikon Nikkor 80-200mm f/4.5 non ai...Any ideas for a third, I feel like I should have one more.
Has anyone ever had experience with either this company or this rig?http://fancierstudio.com/fancierstudio-dslr-rig-with-follow-focus-and-matte-box-by-fancierstudio-fl02m.html
So there you have it a couple of direct questions then a one broad general questions...
Here's hoping we all get our cameras soon.
Bare bones would be a battery solution if you plan to have your camera powered on for more than 90 minutes.
You'd also need an SSD to record to, but technically other than an SSD and a lens, you're ready to roll.
As far as lenses, your 50mm is going to be more like 120mm compared to S35mm, so you're definitely going to want a wide option. Many people on the EF mount use the 8-16mm Sigma, or the 11-16mm Tokina.
You're going to want something of an equivalent focal length for any wide/mid range shots.
