Incredible footage, man. :) Dig it. Yep. I think the Rokinon 35 and 85 are definitely on the radar (and soon on my main credit card) as well as the Tokina. Got my Olympus today plus the mount... works great... looks great. $30 plus the $15 adapter... can't beat it (50mm 1.8) Do any of you...

Yeah man, I'd love to see some footage of that! :)

Good point. But the add-on ring is actually quite smooth! :) Damn man, that Tokina looks AMAZING. And a little more than the Rokinon, but seems well worth it, especially since it can zoom a little. I wish the Glidecam was about $250 less than it is... those shots look killer in that video...

Thanks, Will! Yeah, I read very good things about the 85mm. The only thing is... I hate using a lens like that for indoor shots/scenes, as I can't get back far enough. My guess is with movies that have dialogue/scenes in a bedroom, they're using either a 24 or 35mm, even with DSLR. Still kind...

Good to know... still, these Rokinon kits look DOPE. Not bad prices AT ALL. B&H has the 4-piece kit for only $1350. Ridiculous. Might have to sell some music gear to fund those. I love the long throw of the focus stuff on the cine lenses, as well as the "de-clicked" aperture rings. Decisions...

Damn. Guess I bought ALL the wrong stuff. Would have been wiser to get one of those $1500 Rokinon kits.... arggghhhh. I had no idea about it.

Ah crap. Could you recommend film-specific lenses? That are somewhat affordable? Worse comes to worse, I'll just re-sell them locally or on ebay.

Added photos of mounts!

Hi Acoustic, thanks for the reply! Could you point me to amazon, with exactly what I might need? I think I have the right adapters in my cart, but I'm not sure now. This is the FD one I was looking at...

Hi guys, I'm a new guy here. :) I introduced myself in the Welcome section but wanted to also post here-- My name is Chris... I use a Canon t3i for YouTube one-man-band video stuff, and random other crap... and I'm in the process of working on a feature-length indie film with a few friends...

Thanks for the warm greetings, all. If anyone else wants to chip in with advice on vintage lenses, please feel free!

Hi guys! My name is Chris. Day job titles me as a music instructor... my main thing is music and film (and trying still to get into doing some indie film stuff). Here's a list of gear I have/will eventually use, and below that are some questions I have about gear and such... - Canon T3i with...
