Hi,

Looks like you have the camera figured out!
Lenses? what is your mount? Canon is probably the cheapest glass to go with, esp if you use Other brands (Tamron, Tokina, etc.)

I have the Canon mount. I´ve bought 3 zeiss contax (25mm, 50mm and 200mm) I´m looking for a 85mm but the contax 1.4 is really expensive. Any sugestion?

thanks

with economy in mind try Rokinon, i have three cine from them 24, 35 and 85mm - amazing for the price,
good 'test', but it lloks like zeiss vignettes like crazy

Good point.

Guillerme did you add a vignette in post, or is that the 25mm vignetting? The 25mm vignettes wide open on Full Frame, but I've never noticed it on a cropped sensor before. The 50 and 200 shouldn't vignette at all.

PS the shots you pulled off with the 200 look GREAT.

If you can't afford the 35 1.4, the Contax 35 2.8 is superb too and very sharp, across all apertures. The 85 2.8 is phenomenal too. Both can be had pretty affordably ($350).

Hi Nick,
I added the vignette in post.
I would love to have the 35mm and 85mm 1.4, but maybe i will consider the 2.8 because of the price. Do you have any footage with those?

Thanks

no, don't do that, even if your resources are low now, better wait, and get them slowly, but get cine and get T1,5,
for the price they're unbeatable.
