Brenton Lee Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Hi, not on a huge budget and looking to buy a used lens to use for an SR3. I'm definitely not after anything fancy, just something that is versatile. I plan to rent lenses when needed, just need something I can use when I'm on the run. Open to suggestions really ... nothing too wide or long. Feel free to post here or PM me, thanks. Brenton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oron Cohen Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Hey Brenton, I think a budget will help, "not huge" isn't clear enough, for me, an inexpensive PL super16 lens is around 3-4K USD at least. If it was me, I'll suggest one of the Canon zooms, like the 8-64 or the 11.5-138 , those are for most part sharp, and you could actually shoot a film with one, I would prefer it over primes which are quite expensive on super16 and will limit you as you probably don't have a budget for a set, so you will be stuck with one or two focal length. Another option is the G.L optics PL conversion lenses, they have a Tokina 11-16 and 16-28 PL lenses as well as Sigma 18-35 PL, all of them are useful focal lengths for super16 and you could use them later down the road with super35 cameras.

Brenton Lee Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Yeah, I'm kinda stuck at the $1500 point right now but I'm saving pretty quickly. I don't have high expectations for quality etc, just something cheap and nasty that functions okay. I might be in the $3-$4k bracket in a month or so, so any other suggestions - keep em coming.
