Question About Digiprimes

[CodySolo]

If I'm renting a couple of Digiprimes for use with the HPX500, say about three, which ones would you say I should get for cinematic work? Available are 5mm, 7mm, 10mm, 14mm, 20mm, 28mm, 40mm, and 70mm.

I've had a fair share of experience with Primes from Digiprimes to Fujinon Primes.... I would say anything below 10mm is to wide. I would get the 10mm for wide, 40mm, for tighter, then if you need a super long lens the 70mm or if you need something in between the 10 and 40, the 20mm. Remember though, the longer the lens, the shallower dof if your location allows it and if thats what your trying to achieve. Also, just an FYI, on the HPX the fujinon primes work great, and there is a substantial rental cost savings... Check em out if you haven't.
