Hi Community, Your mission if you accept it is to devise the master plan to spend my money and guide my journey in videography! The challenge: Blend speed, focal range, pack weight and budget for a globetrotting videographer who wants low-light and bokeh bliss out of 2-3 lenses max. I want to learn more about great composition, and think some hi-qual fixed primes can help. I also want to get into event/ wedding videography later this year. The current gear: GH4, Oly 12-40 2.8, Ikan 3-axis stabilizer and Manfrotto fluid tripod head. The budget: I have a $300 credit at a great used/ pro camera shop in town. Was offered another $360 for my Oly lens and could potentially put that $660 into 1-2 faster primes for no/ little money out of pocket such as: Samyang 12mm F2 $340; Voightlander 25mm .95 $480; Sigma 30mm 1.4 $340, Olympus 45mm 1.8 $230; Pana 12-35 2.8 mark i $550; Pana 35-100 2.8 mark i $650; Pana 14-140 4-5.6 mark i $250 Many video shooters SWEAR by the OIS and ease of use of the Pana 12-35, 35-100 f2.8, and using stabilized zooms for events. That`s where I am stuck: Should I scoop up some lo-light higher-quality image primes for my interests and rent zooms for events (if needed), then build my kit when I drop anchor? Or should I get the used mark i Pannys and soldier on with weak lo-light/ bokeh characteristics? Keep the Oly 12-40 and grab a prime? If so, which one? I embrace the idea that learning more about subject/ background separation, carrying a light, gorilla pod etc will help with many of these challenges. But sometimes the moment dictates all the parameters. Any recommendations beyond these listed and all advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
