Mid range cinema lenses that rent often

[JD Butler]

What set of lenses do you rent the most? Of course it depends on the project and budget etc. but what seems to rent consistently? What is popular at the moment? We're looking to add a nice set to the inventory for around $50-$60k. Thoughts?

I have a relatively low priced set of Cooke Speed Panchros listed in the for sale section, also a set of Leica Summicron C's.

Just had my first baby and looking to free up some capital to spend in other areas.

I think those both classify as mid range , highly desirable sets.

I could also be biased

Do you have a preference on spherical vs anamoprhic?

And are you going for most rentaability? Or optically "best" lens you can afford in that range?

Kind of out of my market, but it seems to me Ultra Primes would be a safe bet. Otherwise I would go with a flavor of Cookes. People can't get enough of those.
