Zooms to mix in with Leica Summilux-C primes

[Seppe Van Grieken SBC]

Hello,

I am considering using the Leica Summilux-C lenses on my next project (a TV series) but might need a bit of zoom action going as well. Has anyone done tests for which zoom lenses cut best with the leica's? At the moment I'm leaning towards the large range of the angenieux optimo 24-290mm.

 

Cheers,

 

Seppe

I can't speak from personal experience, but I hear a lot of good about the Fuji stuff. Sort of characterless, from what I hear, but that might suit if you need it to cut with other things.
