Check the mount first

Most lenses here are Sony E-mount, which fits the Sony A7 and FX range directly. Cinema prime sets are often PL mount, which suits cinema cameras such as ARRI, RED and the Sony Venice, or an adapted Sony FX body. Lenses for Canon EF or Nikon F can be adapted to mirrorless bodies, but check autofocus support with the owner before you book.

Which lens for which shoot

  • Run-and-gun, events and corporate: a 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom covers most of the day
  • Interviews and portraits: an 85mm prime for a soft background
  • Interiors, real estate and tight spaces: a 20mm or wider
  • Commercials and drama: a matched cinema prime set so every lens looks and grades the same

Looking after lenses in Dubai

Heat and sand are the two risks. Change lenses indoors or in a car, keep caps on between setups, and let a cold lens from an air-conditioned room warm up before you shoot outside so it does not fog.
