Hey everyone,

I'm not sure i this topic belongs in the DVX section but i'll explain...
I have a DVX with a mini 35 mount... and with that i also have the new mod which allows for me to shoot Uncompressed, Full Bandwidth RGB (4:4:4)...

now my dilemma is what kind of lenses to get...

I understand the functionality of getting prime lenses ( lower T stops and depth of feild versatility etc etc) especially a set of zeiss mk II primes, but if i was only going to shoot for television, say (commercials or music videos for eg) then should the cooke 25-250 zoom suffice ?

I mean if i was shooting to blowup to 35mm then yes i understand the need for the primes... but uncompressed with a cooke zoom?....anybody has had any experience with the cooke zooms?...

Any suggestions?...
 
Bunny can prob give the company who did it for him, but if you do a search I know I've read it on this forum. But the basic concept is you send your camera to this company they take it apart and route the signal from the chips before it hits the dv compression hardware. Then it is routed through the box they install and out to your capture equipment. The file sizes are quite a bit larger and I think you lose some portability with the camera since you have to be linked to capure hardware.

Bunny is this about right?
