Best Bang for Buck Entry


Recommended Posts

Hey Folks,

For anyone that has experimented and owned entry level (PL-Mount) lenses to get them through the low budge--or pro-bono jobs, which lenses did you decide to go with?
There are tons of options out there: Rokinon, Meike, DZO, Dulens, etc etc. has anyone actually used them on jobs whether it be corp/commercial/feature?

I'm someone who would love to own a set of Zeiss Standard Speeds or Supers but just can't afford to own a set. They have a wonderful look and am looking for something with a similar feel.

Thank you in advance!

Generally, when I have no budget on a show and need PL I go for the Pictor Zooms, for price, speed, and weight reasons. I keep toying with the idea of buying a set, but they are so incredibly cheap to rent in LA that it really isn't worth it. I may pick up the 14~30 though, since the 20~55 is often just a little to tight for some spots I wind up in.
