SOME GREAT GEAR CHOICES MPB has massive stocks of all sorts of cameras and lenses, but here are the best bits of kit you should consider buying right now.

CANON EOS C300 MARK III

CANON EOS R5 C

SONY FX9 Sony’s full-frame FX9 has been hard to get, even new. The FX9 uses an oversampled 6K Exmor R CMOS sensor to capture 4K images and takes E-mount lenses. MPB often has stock at around £1600 less than new.

Canon’s Super 35 flagship, the EOS C300 Mark III, has a Dual Gain Output sensor with up to 16 stops of dynamic range. The EF lens mount is also interchangeable with a PL mount and MPB prices can save 40% off buying new.

Canon took the bones of the awesome EOS R5 and turned it into the EOS R5 C, which is a far better choice for filmmaking. It has a vast range of codecs, doesn’t overheat in extended use and has better ergonomics for shooting.

SIGMA CINE PRIMES

ZEISS CP.3 PRIMES

Sigma’s high-end cinema lens range shares an optical design with its range of Art primes but re-housed in a traditional, all-manual metal body with a clickless aperture ring. Models from 20mm to 135mm open to T1.5 – while the 14mm is T2 – and come in PL, Sony E or Canon EF mounts.

The compact Zeiss CP.3 range offers high contrast and saturated colours, plus impeccable sharpness and handling. CP.3s have user- interchangeable lens mounts in PL, Canon EF, Nikon F, Micro Four Thirds and Sony E mount.

MPB also has EVFs, monitors, media, tripods, sliders, gimbals, action cameras and drones. All from a retailer rated five stars on Trustpilot with over 300,000 customers. The easy-to-navigate website lists every item, with photos of the actual kit for sale along with a condition rating. There’s a detailed, honest description of the item’s condition and what it includes. Saving time, recycling old kit and buying new equipment for a fraction of its original cost is a sure-fire way to cut out the stress of the season. Once you try MPB, you’ll never want to pay for brand new again.
