Picking Up camera again. Best camera?

[Stray1]

I'm thinking of taking charge of camera myself. I used to shoot 16mm for myself and other students back in the day. Now I like the idea of taking camera back I just need the right one. I will have a 1st AC and a G&E grip or two. I'd like a 24p movie look as if shot with primes. Lighting is to be minimal very noir and available light. We are shooting one room location, and a number of exterior woods. So any thoughts on this and camera suggestions?

So much depends on your camera budget...

I've been asking myself this same question.

I'm getting a hefty chunk of change back from tax returns and I am going to invest in a hpx 170. They're around 4+ grand. Going to also pick up either Letus Extreme lens mount or Cinemek 35mm lens adapter. Not quit sure on the adapters as of yet. All in all I'll probably invest 7 grand in my camera package alone. My oh My

Anyways, best thing to do is go to youtube or vimeo, type the model of camera you are looking for and the lens adapter you want to use. 9 out of 10 times you will find someone who used that same set up and posted videos. You can get a pretty good idea of the different looks the cam/adapter combos can achieve.

Hopefully that will give you an idea.


Best,
