Camera owning plans 2020

[IronFilm]

Yeah, I definitely reckon any delusional dreams I had before of buying a FS7/F5 (or even FS5/FS700) are gone, I might even skip for another year the buying of a Panasonic G85! ha

Unless... somehow I defy all odds and have a great year! Then I can snap up a fire sale bargain??

I've seen some testing done on the 18-35 and the conclusion was mounting it on the A73 it depended on the adapter used. Some adapters it was parfocal others it was slightly off. With a speedbooster you are able to adjust the glass to get it perfect, but thats not possible with most adapters.

Now if you have an URSA you can shim the mount to adjust it so its not a worry. Thats not an option on every camera.

Yeah, it seems the Cinematics lens may be good because it "just works". Which on-set with limited time, is valuable. Correct me if I'm wrong but even if you can use shims on an Ursa to get the regular Sigma lens just so, that's something you have to think about redoing if you want to change lenses.

Well, over the past week things have changed a lot, with two months of confirmed jobs cancelled and no idea what will happen for the rest of the year.

Look like my new camera owning plans for 2020 are to keep shooting on the FS700 + Shogun Inferno for another year.

Right, purchasing anything is all theoretical as of right now.
