Lenses?

I think the 7D will be my next purchase. Now on to lenses. I easily created a wishlist in B+H that quadrupled the price of the body, but I think it's excessive. I have 4 Nikons for my Letus, but I...

I find the Caselights to be definitely less superior from a build quality than the Kinos. If you have the cash, go Kino.

Thanks Mitchell.

Kinos are great. They are very versatile, and put out a good amount of soft light for a lot less heat and power consumption. A 3x1000 watt kit would lack some versatility...

Good question. I don't have an exact answer but I suspect it's less than 35mm. I too zoom in between Z75-77 depending on what lens I have on. I would be curious to know the answer too.
