They will get you on your way. Michael, I would try the Nikon AI and AIS, these are very affordable and excellent with fotodiox mounts. They will get you on your way.

I' m still in that mode where it feels like I'm trying to drink from a firehose! Do you have an opinion or experience with older screw mount Leica lenses, and the Zeiss Contax lenses? I'm finding more bargains available with these as opposed to the Zeiss ZE and ZF or the Leica R. Thanks for your time. Hi Shane,

These are all great zoom lenses. Hi Brian, I love the 24-70mm Canon L series zoom, the Leica 21-35 zoom, Leica 80-200 Zoom, Canon 70-200 IS USM II. These are all great zoom lenses.

Im buying the body only before I choose a lens because I want to find a lens appropriate for filming. I know that I'll be getting a 50mm lens, but I also need to find a lens good for filming but without a fixed focal length. What are some recommended lens'? Thanks Hi so I’m buying my first DSLR the Canon 60D. Im buying the body only before I choose a lens because I want to find a lens appropriate for filming.

Yes, just click on the archive section and you can get all the back newsletters. Now we have not put out one since July, so there is a big gap. I have been slammed with work and also trying to see my family. Bare with us and new one will be out shortly. Noah Nuer, Thank you so much for your kind words and support.

I am not doing a lot of color correcting. "The Last 3 Minutes" had minimal color correction, almost straight out of the camera. Try some Leica glass, R series. You are welcome.

I have some experience with the lenses. The Canon 14 / 35 / 85 / 135 but are not perfectly crisp skin tone move. Suitable for photography of human body. These glass are sharp / Cooke but due to great colorist. They give a warm climate USA) Zeiss ZF is sharp, but the cold takes scale well but shadows to haunt / disturbing. I am an amateur for their own needs testing of glass / canonie is not the most interesting / can anyone recommend another company with similar characteristics thanks Do not get it to him / the glass Sorry for my English.

By the way, love what your doing with the medium, I've been in broadcast TV for 30 years trying to find way to get that film feel and look. The arrival of the 5DMKII has gotten me excited about the biz again. Hi Shane

PL mount lenses do not work on your 5D unless you rip it apart. I have only been using Panavision Primos and Zeiss ZE lenses. I think your best bet is the Zeiss ZE. They talk with the camera and they have a little better cinema throw to them. They do breathe though. You put some zip gears on those babies and they will perform very well. I would suggest wireless follow focus and lighting the scene to at least a 5.6 to give you focus puller a chance. Nigel Ellis, My equipment will be ready to rent at the end of February.

I am shooting a short in a few weeks and want to use PL lens - for their look and also to give the focus puller an chance of keeping it in focus!! Are you renting out your equipment yet? Do you know where I can get an adaptor and which lens will work without removing (or damaging) the mirror? We have a Red "Decaprio match" type shot and as the Red M-X isn't out yet I think the 5D will do a great job - but the scene will also require decent focus pulling. thanks, Nigel Hi Shane,
