David, once I know as much as you do I will probably stop asking so many questions... well that is likely not true. One of the main reasons to ask all this stuff is to learn about how it all works, things you already know.
I have shot quite a bit, certainly nowhere as much as you, but I've never reached for a calculator. IMO everything of value in this craft is measurable by intangibles anyway. Whether you rationalize some, or a lot of it, in the end it is still all based on the feelings evoked by the sum of the parts. I am very aware of this.
Still, I realize I must be annoying to some, perhaps not you, I can only hope. But even if that were the case, I can't change who I am. I can only hope that my incessant questioning isn't misconstrued into something else, hopefully at least not something negative. All it is is a relentless hunger for knowledge.
Granted, some of it might not seem useful enough for the time I spend trying to figure it out. But that is only measurable taking into consideration where I am coming from and where I am ultimately headed, universe willing. Just know that there is much more gathered than simple math.
On a more specific note, my upcoming project may or may not have enough budget -among other things- for replicating interiors where pivotal scenes take place. This has me concerned with making sure I will cover my wide end. Finally, we will be shooting while all this new gear is brand spanking new still, and in high demand. So I am talking with people who will have it available, making sure I will have access to everything we will need without having to break the bank.
I am just trying to be as prepared as possible... I would not want my first feature to fail in part due to unpreparedness. I wouldn't forgive myself, now should investors. But luckily that is not going to happen (other than the healthy amount of Murphy's).
While my posts may be simple hammering questions to people of a certain mastery, little questions slowly chiseling away at one boulder out of a whole mountain of pertinent information... I am also picking up a lot of other valuable information.
Thanks to these and many other threads, and generous people like you, I am constantly gaining knowledge. Though there is also conversations, books and -above all- experience.
Anyhow... thanks for your patience, and sorry if I test it a little too often.
Thanks! So it seems that the Zeiss set already covers the wide end quite well for FF35 with the 21mm being a T2.1, but I wonder if they will make the 100mm soon? And when we may see something in the 150mm range...
Personally I think we will end up mostly shooting Misterium-X 5k for 2.4, but you never know, a lot can change from here to winter.
