Now days I'm mostly shooting production. I've got a Blackmagic URSA Mini with a PL mount and a set of vintage Russian primes. When I got a news gig I'd swap the mount for a B4 and run a Zoom lens. But then swapping mounts a screw snapped and that was stressful. I was able to get it out with a special tool but now I'm less keen on swapping mounts and have just been shooting news on fixed lenses. The URSA has built in window cropping so I can rock a wider lens and punch in tighter if I want. 2 lens sizes with one lens.
The main advantage is the interviews look great and the b-roll is even better. The downside is stressing that you might have the wrong lens when something unexpected happens. (I do have a PL mount zoom but it's just not as nice as the primes so I hardly use it)
Just wondered if anyone else was walking this line
