For the last few years I have been shooting films on both Nikon and Canon HDSLRS. Amazingly cheap bodies that are light and shooting full HD, it's pretty amazing what has been done with them. It has opened up a new world to the budget film maker.
Lenses are what I keep getting told to invest my money in. I had the chance to shoot with the wonderful canon L Series lens 24-70mm 2.8f (which comes with a tasty £2k price range) over the weekend.
Ya know what, really unimpressed. I usually shoot with prime lenses that were designed for use with film cameras during the 70's and 80's, yashica, Pentax and contax all in my kit. All, I personally think are far better than Canon's L series. Fair enough I am shooting on a crop sensor so the heavy monster perhaps just ain't being given a chance.
Personally though I would far rather buy a 50mm 1.9f for £20 on ebay with manual aperture and using an adaptor put it on my 550d than that L Series!
