Cool video and reason why good lenses cost more than cheap ones.

I don't know about you Bryce, but that's a little outside of my budget.

Yeah Robert, I think I'll have to stick with my 18-55 kit lens. Even if I had 10 grand to blow on camera gear, I wouldn't spend it all on a single piece of glass.

At least video lenses are finally starting to drop.

Can you picture someone trying to hook that up to a CX100!

>Can you picture someone trying to hook that up to a CX100!

I think it's more a matter of attaching a CX100 to _it._ It's like the L series EF 100-400; once you put that on your camera, the tripod attaches to the lens, not the camera.
