Lenses for FS700

[filmguy123]

We have a low budget, but access to an FS700 with kit lens for a music video shoot this SATURDAY the 8th.

Would like to get a couple good lenses. Was recommended renting Zeiss CP primes. 3 lenses is $150, *but* we don't have rental insurance or enough credit card to hold the insane deposit for value. Plus, they don't rent the metabones adapter so we'd have to purchase.

Looking for a cheaper rental ($100 for 4-5 lenses package deal would be great), and something where we could get around the crazy deposit or insurance. Any lens suggestions or rental house suggestions? Online would be fine.

Thanks!

If you have a little bit of lighting control and focus manually, the stabilized kit lens could work for you and your low budget.

I have no clue about rental prices, but you could take a look at the E-Mount Rokinon Cine Lens line up. They have a 14mm, 24mm, 35mm and 85mm. I've heard good things about them. They're relatively inexpensive so maybe rent for less, just guessing.

I tried one of the Rokinon cine lenses, I think it was the 24mm, a while ago and I'm a little disappointed that it still breaths, though less than a normal lens. Otherwise it's a very sharp lens.

Thoughts on E to EF adapter and using Canon L series Primes?
