Soon i'll be ordering BMPCC 4k and bunch of other stuff (cage, batteries, charger, mount, etc.)
we are highly aware that lens prices are stable and camera bodies drop fast. but dropping 1200€ on 1-3 lenses is way too much for someone that makes 0€ out of it.
my budget is about 500€, preferably 400€.
i was thinking about grabbing the viltrox adapter and using bunch of Ebay canon glass, advantage being EF lenses don't drop in value a lot and there are a lot of good used lenses. But considering that the speedbooster costs 150€ and so far i'm not impressed with the quality from any video i saw (very soft looking) paired that with cheap glass, sounds like disaster for me.
Metabones is out because of cost unless someone wants to gift me one on Easter.
Jokes aside, i think going native MFT is best pick for me ?
Stuff i record include: Travel, Chemistry/Workshop/"Studio", b-roll with products/chemicals/fun
Stuff i don't record : Vlogging/recording myself
I don't mind buying 2nd hand, but i need to be able to find that in Germany, i was mostly looking at Meike brand but from what i see all of them are primes, for chemistry and workshop i can switch lenses, but for travel and going outside it's pain for me.
So zoom-able lens is best pick for me, but zoom-able and prime combo also sounds good, bonus points if i can get cheap adapter and reverse it for macro shots.
OIS would be good but not strictly needed, automatic focus gives me no advantage nor disadvantage
I know people here have way way more experience in camera field than i do
i need max 3 lenses anyways. was thinking about a 400€ zoom lens and vintage prime (or something) but can't find anything in that price range (or there is too much)
And yes i'm aware it's cinema camera where most people rig it up like red or arri (with 1k€+ lenses), but i need RAW, resolve studio and good quality for my hobbies/free time
any ideas for good value on Allrounder a hobbiest can get?
