What kind of camera do you have?
Most likely you will need an Achro and Brevis as a bare minimum, but I recommend getting rails and a brevis to rails mount also. Keep in mind that Cinevate's rails are 5/8" instead of the more standard 15mm so there will be a little slop with some of the accessories. For eg. I have redrock rails but the brevis to rails mount. The rails are 15mm but the mount (support) is 5/8" so there is some slop when tightening it down. Just a FYI.
The reason I asked what camera you have is because Dennis offers a new diffuser called CF1L with the L standing for Large cameras. Why it matters is something I will never understand but it works better with slower, longer or zoom lenses. This diffuser (last time I checked) wasn't available on the site yet so you would have to talk to Dennis about getting that with your order.
I would personally register on the Cinevate forum also.
Hope that helps a little.

Buying a set of prime lenses for the brevis would be very similar to buying a set of primes for a film camera with a couple exceptions: You wouldn't be buying Cine style lenses with PL mounts.
Instead, you would try and obtain a set of primes to cover most shooting situations; maybe a 28mm, a 35mm, a 50mm, an 85mm, and a 105mm. Try and buy the fastest lenses you can buy; fstop 1.4 over 2.8 for example.
You don't need to buy all of them at once. Remember, you no longer have a zoom lens, so in order to change the "zoom" you would need to either move the camera closer or change lenses.
I'd do a search on brevis lenses (or even M2) to see what comes up...

Yes definitely do a lot of research on lenses before you buy an adapter.
