So, low participation in this forum and now I'm coming with an annoying question (need to make a point of being more active here), but, I'm in the process of buying new glass and looking to either get opinions or figure out what questions I'm not asking myself to make the best decision.
I'm moving more into doing small budget projects and commercial work, and while I'm ramping things up, doing weddings (been doing them for a while now so, gotta do what I know haha). And right now I'm shooting on the Sony FS100 and a D7000 for when I need a second camera/something small.
I've been looking at the Zeiss Compact Primes for a while now and they look like they're a pretty good set for the price and I've read some pretty good things about them, and I definitely like the low weight. Haven't specifically used them with the camera, but have handled them and liked them as far as that's concerned.
But, given the price, I could definitely save/get more if I just went with Nikon glass. While I'm sure wedding clients (and I've found a lot of times for the most part, other people) don't notice weird little differences and things like breathing, I do like to shoot for the best quality I can pull off.
So does anyone know if the difference between the two is such a huge difference where it'd be obvious to go with one over the other?
I'm using the Novoflex f-mount adapter, so the Zeiss having the iris ring is awesome so I actually know what I'm shooting at (also fixed by getting the D Nikon lenses), as well as the standard sizes so when I do have it on a rig I can easily switch things out, and there's the obvious difference in focus rings.
Maybe there's also something that I'm just not thinking of asking myself to see what would work best for me that someone may be able to point out. It'd probably be nice to have a set of cine primes on hand to shoot things that come up, and then rent better glass/cameras for bigger projects, but I also want to make sure that I'm not just after the CP.2 because I like the look of them haha
I dunno. Sorry for the long post, but hopefully I can gain some insight into things.
Thanks!
