Hello y'all! First post here.

In a upcoming project (personal) we are planing to shoot a surreal short. The film is to be set in Stockholm's underground. We are shooting with a double-camera setup, my 7D and my friend's GH2. In the lowlight areas of the station platform we need a good lowlight lens. What would you recommend?

Furthermore everything will be in black-and-white. Maybe in the cinematic style of "Down by Law" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcSxhjH0pwA). How could we achieve this?

For the GH-2 : Lumix 14mm f/2.5, Voightlander 25mm f/0.95 or Lumix 20mm f/1.7, 50mm f/1.4 Nikon AIS with m4/3 adapter, 85mm f/1.4 Nikon AIS with m4/3 adapter

For the 7D : Canon 17-55 f/2.8, Canon 35mm f/2.0, Canon 50mm f/1.4, Canon 85mm f/1.4

...You can find Canon FD and Nikon AIS lenses quite cheaply on eBay. I've also seen the Kiron 24mm f/2.0 in Canon / Nikon mount go for as little as $100.

NOTE: Canon FD lenses can ONLY be used with the GH-2 camera
 
Also I'd bring some small battery powered lights- you'd be shocked what even a tiny bit of light can mean in terms of image quality.
