So my boss wants to get his own zoom lens for his Scarlet...I am not sure how to advise him since he usually uses a retro cooke 18-100. He can get a zeiss or canon zoom and save on the head and pay up for the glass...or a retro Angie or Cooke and pay up for the head...What would you advise? He is going to put the head on a photography pedestal for studio shooting only. Its for tabletop so our usual lens has a close focus of 27 inches is the thing and is only 18-100... Usually he rents an Oconnor head, but I imagine with a Zeiss zoom he could get by with a relatively cheaper head...
