    Thinking of purchasing the 700. I would like to some feedback on lens used out there that would work with it. Have a project coming up in which I will be shooting inside a house. Different scenes Cine style. Thinking of getting Movcam rig and mattbox and a Ninja.

    I have an old Canon HDTV lens we used to use with a Panasonic Varicam but haven’t herd back from canon if it will work Here is the info for it:

    HDTV Zoom Lens, HJ11x4.7B KLL. Would be nice if this would work…save some money….

    Mac Pro, MacBook Pro Uni, Leopard, FCP 6,

    You may just want to rent some lenses (renting lenses is pretty cheap), and then decide which one to buy after you run some tests. See the FS700 User’s Group on Vimeo, as they have samples and usually tell you which lenses they are using in those samples.

    Good luck.
