I'm shooting an independent comedy this summer and I have the hvx200 with 3 p2 cards and I have made up my mind and I'm going to go with the Brevis35 package. Now that I have all that worked out in my head here comes a whole another ballpark---lenses. what lenses would you want to get and what Kind would be the best for the project at a reasonable price range. I have read a lot of forums and I just don't know what to go with......Nikon, Canon..etc

It seems like there is endless variables with lenses.

I mean I know there is a lot of people on here that bought 35mm adapters so what lenses did you buy for your project ?

Any comments could get me going in the right direction!! I need some help!

THANKS A LOT!!!

With the Brevis theres not much of a difference between 1.8 and 2.8 stops on my lenses...so you don't have to break the bank to get the fastest 1.4 prime or anything.

I have Nikon glass and Im pretty happy with my package. Picked most of them up for fairly cheap on ebay.

20mm 3.5 24mm 2.8 28mm 2.8 50mm 1.8 85mm 1.8 80-200 3.5 zoom, 35-135 2.8 zoom.
