Lenses for Scarlet X

[Sheri L.]

haha thanks sweetie

Wow, cute chick living fun city with unlimited budget for filmmaking gear .... WILL YOU MARRY ME???

Just kidding, I'm already spoken for and did very well with my wife, but glad you're here and choosing to go with Red.

As others have noted:

- Best cine lenses in PL - Leica C
- Best manual still lenses - Leica M series
- Best larger format lenses with AF - Leica S
- Best 35mm still lenses with AF - Nikon G

The last one is debatable, there are some serious Canon fans here - but read up on Evin Grant's posts about the latest Nikon lenses.

Exceptional performance, even wide open or f2, making them an amazing performance/value combo.

It outlines the difference between still and Cine lenses. There are noticeable differences between the two, and you'll have to sacrifice with either should you choose to go with Cine lenses, or Canon lenses. Cine lenses can be a large investment, but if the upsides intrigue you enough to convince you to purchase a set, you might seriously want to consider the RED Pro Primes. I heard good things - that build quality and optics are on par with more expensive sets, but at a much lower cost. So at least you could own a set without a huge financial investment. Plus, a well-maintained set of lenses retains their value quite well, so even if you find out they don't work for your purposes, you could sell them off for near what you paid.

If you're going to be doing a narrative shoot, you'll want to have an experienced camera operator on your crew anyway. They can handle most of the camera set up, maintenance, and break down duties for you.
