what kind of camera and all them lenses did you guys use thanks

[parkesproductions]

@TheMsMrmann We used the JVC GYHD201 camera, filming at 1280x720/25p to both tape and 100GB harddrive, IDX batteries and Minolta lenses -28mm, 50mm and 135mm primes and a zoom, along with a JVC 17" HD monitor. We are very happy with this setup and recently used this on a corporate production as well.  Hope that helps!
