Best lens mount for Ronin 4d?
Just bought the 8k and only have the 17-28 DL-mount but have seen conflicting reviews whether E-mount or L-mount works best. Considerations:
- resale: investing in DL mount lenses seems like a poor choice. It's a small ecosystem and selling later seems problematic
- lens swapping: I know that if it's time-consuming/finicky to change a lens (with mount+lidar+calibration etc) I'll probably just leave the one I have on and "deal with it"
- general compatibility: I've heard L-mount can work natively eliminating the need for a focus motor. I've seen lots of reports of focus hunting or unreliable AF on some lenses
- character: DJI lenses seem a bit pricey for what they are. The Viltrox set looks like a decent budget option but apparently also "get the job done" without a ton of character
- price: looking to spend somewhere between $1200-$1800 CAD per lens ($900-$1300 USD)
The general plan is to keep the 17-28 for now and add a 50mm + something in the 70-85 range for now but down the road I'd love to just commit to one mount if there is a "best" choice. Any help would be HUUUUGELY appreciated! 🙏🙏🙏
Good options I've seem come up a few times: sigma art series lenses but some need counterweight (not sure how annoying that is), Panasonic f/1.8 Series, Thypoch Simera series but open to other options based on others' experience!
