Sherzod Bekchanov Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Hello guys, I'm music video clipmaker (beginner). I like k-pop MVs. I want to shoot my MVs like that. I've got Red One MX camera and Zeiss 35mm CP2 superspeed t1.5 lens only. Which lens (mm) do you recomment to buy? (sorry, I don't know english very well) Edited September 26, 2014 by Sherzod Bekchanov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Aapo Lettinen Posted September 28, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) at least 2 lenses: something wide from 16 to 25mm range, and one longer lens, maybe 65 75 or 85. since you are using CP2:s you could also use (ZE, ZF) still lenses if changing the camera mount, but it would be more practical to stick on cp:s because of the better mechanics and easier handling. Exact focal lengths are a matter of taste, but considering you already have one lens from CP2 series I think it's easier to use same series lenses to expand your inventory. maybe 85mm T1.5 CP2 super speed and 21mm T2.9 CP2 ? If you need more speed then 20mm T1.9 Ultra Prime might be better solution than 21 CP2, and if you need shorter tele than 85 then maybe UP 65/1.9 might be an option. Zooms are also an option If something under 21 is needed for some shoots you can rent it easily ( 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 / 18mm) Edited September 28, 2014 by aapo lettinen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Satsuki Murashige Posted September 28, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 28, 2014 The first frame looks like 65-85mm. The second one about 135-200mm. The third one maybe 14mm. Basically for music videos of this type you should probably have a super wide lens that is rectilinear (no distortion) for group shots and a telephoto or super telephoto lens for beauty close ups. Telephoto zooms would give you more adjustability when you have to quickly reframe for a looser two shot to an extreme close up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
