Those people owning the M2 (and similar) may be interested in http://www.admail.net/view/892d08/11c214/Zeiss Superspeeds 35mm cine primes (used)[/link] for that real 35mm "look".

Got prices on some Zeiss Digiprime glass yesterday, I thought the Cooke S4s were expensive!
The new 3.9mm is around $80K, cough, cough.
But why buy, you can rent a set for $2K/day! Think they only work with 3 CCD cameras as well so no go with Mini35s etc without an adaptor.

Thing to not overlook. The Digiprimes are T1.9, the Superspeeds are T1.3 and cheaper. Combine them with a S16 sized sensor and you can get the same shallow DOF at a lower cost.

If anyone want sets of near mint Nikon Nikkor lenses for M2 they need PM me. I'm in the processes of collecting as many suitable lenses as I can and putting them in sets:

Here is my first offering:
All Nikon manual focus AI or AIS. No Series E or pre/non AI
All EX, EX+ or near mint
All faster than Redrock recommends!

28mm f2.0
55mm f1.2
85mm f2.0
135mm f2,8
70-210 F4.5-5.6.......................US$900
